Why These Polls Do Not Matter

Let's take a closer look into these 2 polls focusing on Boston College. In last week's USA Today Coaches poll, Boston College was ranked #25 in the country. This past weekend, Boston College defeated Maine, 22-0. Georgia Tech defeated Virginia Tech boosting them from not being ranked in the USA TODAY Poll to a #20 ranking, USA Today snuck Missouri in with their very miniscule win against a terrible Colorado team, and then USA TODAY pulled the hat trick and bumped BC from their Coaches Poll. How in the world you beat a team 22-0 and drop out of the rankings is beyond my belief, and to replace them with a Missouri team who beat Colorado, let me repeat, Colorado, is absolutely absurd. If you take a look into the AP Poll, last week, Boston College was not even in the Top 25, and now this week after their 22-0 route over Maine, they are locked in at #25.

I think it's gotten to a point where most people really don't pay any attention to these College Football Polls anymore. There are so many polls out now that we've basically just gotten to where none of them matter anymore. If they really do matter to you, then in the next few sentences, I'm going to prove to you why they shouldn't.

This week, Boston College will have their "bye" week, Missouri will lose to Texas Tech, and miraculously, Boston College next week will be placed back in the Top 25! So what we will see is this:
September 24th: Boston College loses to NC State and drops to #25
October 1st: Boston College defeats Maine 22-0 and drops out of the Top 25
October 8th: Boston College has a bye week and makes it back in the Top 25
