Many of these voters do little to no homework before sending in their vote.

TLDR - It’s no different than 41 years ago when they voted BYU number 1 in 1984. UW lost to SC and Washington as an underdog went to the Orange Bowl and beat up number 2 Oklahoma (can’t remember the pre bowl rankings). All the talk on tv/espn and newspapers were: when mighty OU/Switzer/Boz run roughshod over Warshington the Sooners would be crowned national champions and overtake byu.

Byu in the wac beat nearly nobody including an average Michigan team with 3 losses based off memory in some shit bowl, something like a holiday bowel. I hated byu for a solid 30 years post 84.

My point is the rankings are “garbage in garbage out” and the playoff rankings aren’t much different when you have had 3 to 4 group of 5 teams with mediocre wins in the top 25 much of the season. If BYU beats Texas Tech the Big 12 might actually get 2 teams in the playoff (total bs) and they will each get their ass handed to them in the playoffs unless one get slotted to play a team like Tufuckinglane.

TT was at 5 in the playoff rankings and they will likely stay if there if they beat byu. In no universe do they deserve the top seed after the 4 teams with a bye. I hope we play a 10-2 byu or Texas Tech after one misses the playoff and show an average team like UW throttles a team like BYU on a neutral site hopefully in Cali.

I believe many UW fans don’t believe UW deserves a ranking inside 22 until we see a bunch of pretenders like JMU and their best win is wsu at home by 3 points ahead of UW or SC.
