 The Associated Press (AP) Poll is a long-standing tradition in college football, but it often faces criticism for its perceived biases. Fans and analysts have pointed out a few key ways the poll can disadvantage teams from conferences like the Big 12, while simultaneously benefiting SEC schools.The "Quality Loss" vs. The Disrespected WinThis is perhaps the most common criticism of the AP Poll's bias. When an SEC team loses to another SEC team, that loss is often framed as a "quality loss." The team may drop a few spots, but their overall ranking often remains high because voters believe they lost to a good team in a tough conference. This creates a self-fulfilling prophecy where the SEC is viewed as a powerhouse because a large number of its teams are ranked, which in turn gives those teams more "quality loss" opportunities.For a team like BYU, the narrative is often different. If BYU plays a Power Four opponent from another conference and wins, that victory may not be viewed with the same weight as an SEC win. For example, some fans have pointed out that despite BYU's dominant wins, their ranking has not risen as much as some other teams who have had "quality losses." Their wins, even if lopsided, are not always seen as "quality wins" in the same way as an SEC team's, which can make it harder for them to climb the rankings.The Preseason Poll and Brand RecognitionAnother major factor is the preseason poll. The AP Poll's first rankings of the season are based on a mix of reputation, returning starters, and recruiting rankings. The SEC has a long history of national success and consistently brings in top recruiting classes. This means that SEC teams, like Alabama and Georgia, often start the season with high rankings based on their brand name alone, regardless of the previous year's record or key losses.This "anchoring" effect can be a huge hurdle for teams like BYU. BYU may have had a successful previous season, but if they don't start the season ranked, they have to work much harder to gain the attention of voters and climb into the top 25. An undefeated BYU team, even with dominant wins, might find itself just outside the top 25, while an SEC team with a loss might still be ranked due to its brand recognition and a "quality loss." The AP poll's continued reliance on preseason rankings can disadvantage teams that are consistently good but lack the same historical brand recognition as the SEC's traditional powers.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!5-Hour ENERGYEnough with boring, flavorless caffeine, it’s time to give your caffeine a flavor upgrade with 5-hour ENERGY®️ shots.
