## Summary

The AP Top 25 poll has drawn criticism for ranking teams in ways the article argues reward conference reputation and preseason expectations over results. It says the latest rankings especially favour SEC teams, while leaving stronger records elsewhere under-recognised.

Texas is ranked 10th despite two losses, while one-loss Texas Tech is 13th. The article questions Florida’s and South Carolina’s places at 19th and 23rd despite each having three losses, and contrasts them with unranked two-loss Northwestern. It also challenges Notre Dame’s fourth place, given its one loss and comparatively easy schedule, above undefeated UCLA and one-loss Indiana.
