One more reason preseason rankings mean nothing


Dec 7, 2012, 2:35 PM

FSU is ranked #25 in basketball - AP poll and #23 in USA Coaches poll, look at where FSU is now. They got humiliated by Florida at home by 25 points.

These polls or rather preseason polls means nothing.

They may mean nothing in terms of accurately reflecting

how good a team really is, but they mean a lot in terms of where teams end up being ranked.

A team that starts out very highly ranked and sufferes a few losses may fall some, but a good win or two and they are often right back where they started (highly ranked again). A team that is not ranked or not highly ranked, can suffer a few very similar losses, and they will fall off the face of the planet, and a few good wins only brings them back to where they were originally ranked. So, being ranked highly from the start unquestionably has advantages.

important of the year. Get ranked high to start, don't fall far after 1 loss, and quickly climb back to top. Reference any SEC contender.
