I assume that they put BYU there to get comments from people like me and fans of Indiana and Oregon

Oh sorry, you mentioned KSU and SMU, I didn't realize you were talking about BYU with that specific comment.

Yeah, they seem to be very overrated as a "deserving" team.  Part of the silliness of this graph.

How is Washington State still ranked?  I feel like it's writers who only half pay attention and think having 2 losses at this point of the year is pretty good in a presumably tough Pac 12

Highlighted ones for sure, and I would consider Duke and Georgia Tech as well

Because they have to rank (what's in their head) P5 teams by number of losses.  Literally.  7 year olds might as well work for the AP.

College football rankings: AP Top 25 Week 14 projection after Oklahoma stuns Alabama, Ohio State drubs Indiana

"We" can't even wait a few hours to see the "real" meaningless AP poll, we have to project it as well.
