It will be mentioned, and mentioned in every newspaper in the country. Why? Its a newspaper poll put out by the AP (Associated Press). The sole purpose of the poll is to sell newspapers. I agree its meaningless, but same arguement can be made for the coaches poll. We are stuck with these little toys and play things of the elite until we get a play off. When the NCAA and BCS folds their tents and we have a new system in place that includes a playoff, the pollsters will play games, AP, Coaches, all of them. This year 4 of the best teams play each other, LSU, Bama, then OU and OSU. Boise State probably wont get a pass to the big game because of schedule and politcs in the polls. Life is harder over in the slow lanes.

While the AP Poll is meaningless in that it doesn't factor into BCS standings, it is more accurate as I believe the writer's who vote watch more football than the coaches voting for the BCS who tend to be conference homers to make themselves look better.

Really? Jenks and Union have lost 1 game and they are going down? Really? I guess both programs have set the bar so high that it only takes one loss? "Semi-private school"? "Elite assembly line"? Apparently you have bought a home in the wrong school district and support one of the "not-so-used-to-winning teams" and are lucky enough to get paid to write about it.

Both polls are uninformed, but it's like voting for president...I'll choose the lesser of two evils, thus it's why I mention it, out loud, so your ears can hear me.

The AP poll has gone by the pointless wayside just like all of todays media. If the media were to go back to doing actual research on stories and provided an unbiased/factual view on thingd of REAL importance, they might be taken seriously again!!

I wouldn't believe a word from anybody on a network that would hire Phil Simms.

All this sportsline blogline blurbline stuff is unaccountable garbage.

Here's something a little funny and a lot interesting: 73 percent of fans surveyed said they don't care at all if the NBA stays on strike the whole year.

Somebody needs to wake up fast. Nobody outside the towns involved, and gamblers, tunes in until the last ten minutes of the playoff games anyway.
