We have several to choose from...AP, Coaches Poll, newspapers, etc. Which in the past have been most accurate? I lean towards the Massey Ratings (though its not a poll, its rankings can be taken that way). I think Massey's formula gives you the most unbiased and statistical analysis of a teams performance. The fact they take the strength of schedule into the formula gives it that little extra accuracy. Any thoughts?

None don't mean a thing thank goodness. The games are decided on the field.

Oh, I know they dont mean anything...its just a way to assess other teams that you dont get to personally watch play...otherwise, you only have the banter here on the downlow! And we all know how accurate THAT is, right?
