I love the AP poll
This is absolutely fantastic! By separating themselves from the biggest farce in all of American sports, the AP has effectively torn the B(C)S in half, thus leaving college football in no better shape than it was when the ridiculous system was put in place back in 1998. To me, the AP poll always carried the most weight out of any colege football poll because
1) It's the job of AP writer's to be as informed and knowledgable about the sport as possible.
2) The coaches poll is a joke, often filled out by a nobody like the waterboy's assistant. Coaches often dismiss this poll as a waste of time and by the very nature of their job (which has some of the most demanding hours anywhere) are simply unable to keep up with how every program around the nation is doing.
3) It's not a computer that renders the entire regular season meaningless because of pre-determined bias. Really no different than playing NCAA 2005 for playstation and simulating all the games.
I salute the Associated Press. Their withdrawal brings college football one step closer to the self-realization that their sport is, by all accounts, a joke and entirely lacking in credibility.
