I'm fine with teams being ranked each and every week. I just think pre-season ranks are a joke. You really don't know much about your team or any team until conference play starts anyway. Pre-season polls do give slight advantages to early high-ranked teams that lose, that's really my only problem with it.
Lets just XD at how pathetic Notre Dame is this year.
I mean wow

I agree completely. Preseason ranks are a joke, because there's no data.
My father is of the opinion that Rankings=Predictions. Ignoring the fact that there are probably 30 games each year where Vegas has a ranked team as an underdog to an unranked or lower-ranked team--and of course, I'm sure you probably get a game every few years where not all of the polls even agree which team is the higher-ranked team. (For example, while both the AP and Coaches Polls had Mizzou ranked higher than ASU this week, ESPN.com's Power Rankings had ASU ranked ahead of Mizzou--and at home, I fully expect that the Sun Devils were favored by Vegas anyway, so...)

ND was yet again preseason ranked when they had absolutely no deservance of it whatsoever.
My brother follows the team like a haw and he even admits it
