The whole belief system of respecting the results when it comes to ranking teams doesn’t go out the window almost midway through the season, but it gets a major overhaul.
Yes, with no other variables, if Team A beat Team B, and Team B beat Team C, it’s only fair to rank the three A-B-C. But that’s much, much harder to do now.
The outlier upsets like Appalachian State over Texas A&M and Marshall over Notre Dame – along with the big hits teams might take for losing to an FCS program – aren’t ignored, but they’re lessened a bit. Teams change, some start to improve with interim head coaches – hello, Nebraska and Arizona State – and at this point, rankings become more of a snapshot of the moment.
This week there’s one huge factor that had to be taken into consideration: injured quarterbacks.
It’s part of the deal, but we’re not going to punish Kentucky, Arkansas, and Oklahoma that much for losing without the No. 1 QB – okay, so the Sooners take a giant dip.
With that said, would Alabama have won easily over Texas A&M with Bryce Young under center? Maybe, but the team has now played three okay teams – Texas, Arkansas, and Texas A&M – and struggled against them all. For now, the rankings need to reflect that.
