Yes, they’re still meaningless, but this week’s results from the selection committee were certainly good for a chuckle… actually, two chuckles.
First of all, Tennessee is still ranked? The Vols are a four-loss team that haven’t beaten a ranked opponent all season and are underwater in points scored in conference play. All I can figure is that the committee wanted to do Georgia the favor of being able to say they’ve beaten three ranked teams in a row. Thanks, folks!
Second, Erik Evans’ next blog poll post is gonna be lit.

UPDATE:
I don’t have the first clue as to what that means.

Yeah! We can all get a good laugh at Erik this week.
Everybody loves a clown! (actually most people find them creepy).
Bama fans are just Tennessee fans with a better team.
Shouldn’t Ole Miss be ranked before Tennessee??

Yes. Ole Miss has lost to 2 great teams and beaten LSU.
Tennessee has done fuck-all this year.

Open up the picture on X…you’re not seeing all 25 teams in the Senator’s snapshot. Ole Miss is #12.

Why do they bother with 25? I don’t know who I’d put in that spot. Not UTK, but then again, not James Madison or anyone else…IOWA IS #17, PEOPLE. The dropoff after 13-15 is unfathomable.

The simpler answer is probably “So who else you gonna put in there? Utah? Clemson? Toledo?”
Really, after Oregon State at 16 you could probably just put about 20 teams in a bag and pull one out at random in any given week. I don’t envy them trying to make sense of the mess in the bottom 10 of that list.
Approval voting FTW.

The committee got lucky there are still so many unbeaten teams so far. Everything will be fixed by a 12 team playoff. Don’t believe that just ask them.
It won’t be long till they’re explaining why a three loss team or two deserves to be in the CFP. Nothing they can’t justify when needed.

I’m still loving that logic carries the day….THERE’S NO DAMN WAY, EVEN IF WINNING THE SEC, THAT BAMA JUMPS TEXAS SHOULD TEXAS WIN OUT. Will haunt Bama for years to come. The ass whipping they took in Tuscaloosa……

If Bama beats GA in the SEC championship game, no SEC team will be in the playoff. That does not mean a thing, because I expect my team to put Bama to bed and put Coach Satan out to pasture.

The committee “makes the right decision every week”. So I don’t think it’s appropriate for us to question their findings.
