What you can count on is the schools who were a part of the unionized alliance called the College Football Association will be rewarded in the polling system. As I evaluate the teams on a week to week basis by watching all the games, I try to base my decision on who I think has performed better at this point. And I start of the season tilted heavy to the defensive side, but as the season progresses I'd like to see a more balanced program on offense and defense. Essentially I want to see how a team performs when they should blow out a team, when they fall a score or two behind and how they fare in a heavyweight tilt. Your points are valid for beauty is in the eye of the beholder and we are all guilty of rewarding the sexy pick when others are equally qualified. With the BCSBusters Model, this would all settle itself, for all the other sports have a poll, but it is virtually meaningless until the end of the season. In college football, the pre-season and the first Harris Poll are vitally important, which is totally wrong due to bias and discrimination. College football is all about the eye ball test.

Why is Clemson ranked higher than UK, when UK beat them last year in the bowl game? Who has Oregon beaten that makes them a Top 15 team?
