A Sea Of Red

Obviously no system is perfect and really in the end they don't matter one bit (except in FBS football ).

BUT if this is your line of thinking

Team Y the champion from last year and until someone does something to take them down, they will remain #1 regardless

you are an idiot and you don't know anything about sports. This is not up for debate.

You can't deny a track record when making assessments. Its not the end all, be all. But it does play a significant role in projecting until some game action takes place.

did someone say "Winthrop" or "Coastal" ?

hmmm, I do believe those names HAVE been mentioned in this context
