Preseason polls are mostly meaningless . . . This season’s more than ever, particularly for the PAC-12 teams (after the abbreviated clusterfuck last year).

Wrong.
Preseason polls either have some predictive capability or worse yet, are meaningful because they help determine who makes the playoff because they influence who gets attention all season long.

Brock is right, this shit is becoming unwatchable. We? are addicts who are pot committed and will continue to tune in to watch yet another meaningless Kraft Fight Hunger campaign. Whatever, you won't lose us.
But new fans? Casually interested fans? Hard to see them giving a shit when the parity gap gets blown open even wider with every passing year and the truly unique aspects of college football continue to get watered down. It's a sport that's fast becoming NFL-lite, with much worse athletes, and none of the competitiveness that makes the NFL so appealing in the first place.
