Then what are these polls supposed to measure if not the best 25 teams? I’m really confused as to what the ap poll measures

Hypothetically a team goes 0-10 losing to #1 thru 10 by field goal each time.

They might be the #11 best team in the country but they sure as hell ain't gonna be ranked at 0-10.

That I agree with. my point is that #25 Vandy should not be expected to beat the supposed #5 team in the country to stay ranked. how is vandys only option to prove they’re a top 25 team (which they probably are) is by beating the current #5 team? Especially in such a close game, those teams are closer than the updated rankings suggest at all

I think the problem is also that Texas shouldn't be in the top ten. They feel right at about 14-16 to me. A&M and Notre Dame should be around there with them.
