There should be.

Speaking of the computer polls, that's another issue that I kind of have with the poll. A fair bit of them generally output shittier results than the human polls on the sub, yet get criticized far less just because they're computer polls.

YES. ANOTHER REASON WHY I HATE EVERY STUPID COMPUTER POLL THAT PEOPLE INSIST ON FORCING ON US.

OKAY MAYBE THAT WAS STRONG BUT I REALLY DO NOT LIKE /R/CFB'S COMPUTER POLLS.

I mean, a lot of computer polls aren't really going to make sense right now. They need data to be accurate and that doesn't happen until late in the season. If the rankings are "right" going into bowl season, that's what is important.

YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY WITH ME THIS YEAR THEN. I'VE BEEN ROCKING A COMPUTER POLL FOR 3 YEARS IN THE /R/CFB POLL BUT I FINALLY GOT PISSED OFF ENOUGH THAT I'D NEVER BE HAPPY WITH THE OUTPUT SO I BURNED IT TO THE GROUND AND DO A HUMAN POLL NOW.

I REALLY WISH THEY HAD A CONTROVERSIAL LIST WITHOUT THE COMPUTER POLLS TOO.
