It's unfathomable to me that people are voting for TCU, Clemson, or LSU to be ranked. There's no justification for it.

I had LSU and TCU ranked 23 and 24.

I still think they’ll be ranked to end the season.

I actually think clemson will be ranked at the end of the season as well, but I’m not passing up an opportunity to kick them out of my ballot

I think LSU and Clemson will be ranked by the end of the season and definitely one of the best 25 teams in the country. But there's absolutely zero reason to rank them now as 100% of the datapoints we have are them getting blown out. Ranking shouldn't be speculation.

Zero chance TCU will finish ranked, they'll finish bottom half on the Big 12 this year.

It's the classic question of do you prefer a reflective poll or a predictive one. Some people attempt to rank the teams according to where they will finish, others reward past performance. Many try to blend the two, but the implementation is always a point of contention.

I prefer ignoring ranking until about week 5, and then leaning more towards reactive polls rather than predictive. No point in playing the games with predictive polls not penalizing losses.

I think within week 1, keeping TCU and LSU ranked are fine, but if they continue to underperform or other teams overperform, inertia shouldn't keep them in.
