I think that is a big IF

Well put.  Some of the AP voteres are nationallly focused, but most of them are highly regional.  It colors their perspective.  Even if they're trying hard to be unbiased, they just can't help it, because you know what you know, and you don't know what you don't know.

I no longer have the time to follow college football as I did in my teens, 20s, and even early 30s.  But at that time, I have zero doubt that I knew more about the national sport of college football than the vast majority of AP voters did.  It's just a matter of time, focuse, and dedication.  They have no choice but to use supposition and heuristics to fill in the gaps that they just don't have the time to know.

And even after ALL of that effort, they're still only getting it right about half the time.  Whether it's because they're intentionally biased, accidentally biased, or don't have the time to track injuries/coaching changes/etc. as fezzador believes, ultimately it doesn't matter.  Because the product of their efforts is severely flawed either way.  If it's inevitably so very, very wrong, then what's the point in even performing the exercise, or for us, watching and evaluating the result of the exercise?

I mean, the answer to my rhetorical question above is, of course, so that we can all argue about it.  But I prefer to argue about arguing about it, which is why I take this stance.

And yet, you are on record--as am I--favoring the old "Polls 'n' Bowls" method of selecting the national champion rather than what the newer methods are evolving into.

I should just invest in Bud fat

played the high falutin course yesterday

Short cans for $4 each - someone made a few bucks

gave the young lady a fiver, but was playing from the green tee box, never played from there before.  Hit a few 5-irons instead of driver off the tee.

6250 yards from the old guys green box - not long enough for a youngster like myself

home course, Muni for Sewer City is 7061 from the tips

a couple years ago I was a couple weeks from turning 55, my friend was up from Des Moines Country Club, I was getting ready to tee one up on the 6th tee box, told him that when I turned 55 I was moving up to the Blue tees (6731 yards).

Just as I start my back swing, he says, "That sounds like a pussy move"

So I waited until I turned 57 this year.

why don't you improve your lie, judge
