It’s a little lower due to bias, not under performance.
It is clear there is a name brand and SEC/B1G bias this year that will likely continue.
Last year at this time the 6 undefeated power conference teams were ranked 1-6.
All the 1-loss teams followed.
This year BYU and Indiana are behind all 5 one-loss P2 teams.
ACC and BIG12 one-loss teams are behind SEC/BIG 2-loss teams. iSU is behind every P2 2-loss team.
Welcome to the P2 era. Not only do the P2 get priority ranking with equal record, they get a mulligan too.
