You cannot apply logic to an illogical system.

You also cant really make a logical system for college football.
Beating the #13 team and being ranked #5 also isn't a logical thing, especially when no one in the top 10 lost.

I don't have to. It already exists. The playoff committee does exactly what I'm saying. It's why the Big XII won't have a team in the playoff yet again.
Srsly even if the Pac 12 is as bad as you think Notre Dame will sneak in and snag the last spot. It won't be TCU or Baylor and that's their own fault.

Ute fans, don't sweat the rankings. While I may not agree with them either, things are going to take care of themselves if Utah keeps winning. In the MWC days, the rankings were a million times more crucial when Utah was trying to move up in an effort to bust the BCS.
Utah's next game is vs a ranked Cal team. Hopefully, UCLA will still be undefeated and ranked higher than us when they come to SLC. USC should still be ranked when we play in LA. Arizona will be ranked. The point is, when you factor in the PAC 12 schedule and a possible conference title game, Utah's going to get enough quality wins to put them where they need to be at the end of the season.
Last night was exciting, and that's not even doing it justice, but we've got a long way to go with a very tough schedule ahead of us. I wanna see this team continue to play like we've seen last night and win a few more big games before I worry about getting hosed in the rankings.

The point is they started over rated and that hasn't changed. Utah started under rated and that hasn't changed. If the polls started now Utah would be higher ranked than a lot of the teams ahead of them on merit alone. The only reason they are not is because of the bias of the poll voters in the pre season and now.

Previous ranking should have absolutely no bearing on the new rankings. NONE.

You are stuck on a previous poll. The ranking last week should not matter when picking a new top 25. The teams they played should matter but not the arbitrary ranking you gave them the week before. Especially this early in the season. Therefore you are not dropping them in the ranking's. You are reassessing the ranking they have earned. And to do that you should enter each weeks polls with a clean slate and re-rank based on current merit not past merit.

That is because the system in college football is ****ed up and always has been.
Not going to disagree, but it's probably better than any other system that could be made.

Ya, with us being in the PAC 12 all that matters is that we keep winning.
Just cool to have bragging rights of being ranked high is all.
We jumped some pretty storied programs in the AP without them losing. Pretty cool.
I couldn't care less about the Coaches Poll and it needs to be done away with entirely.
I'm sure you think the current one is just an elaborate scheme to overrate the SEC though.
