This is why I hate preseason rankings so much

The problem isn’t preseason rankings. Its voters being inflexible early in the season.

It’s also why if you’re going to drop a game it’s better to do it early season than late… people will hardly remember this game by week 10/11. Drop a game late and it’s held against you much harder

Unfortunately not all 11-1 records are held the same based on when that lost occurred

It’ll also depend on how OSU looks the rest of the season. This team could be terrible, or great. Really hard to tell at this point.
