Why you shouldnt believe the AP Poll

I was browsing the Internet today and I was trying to figure out how many weeks Texas was ranked #1 this season and I stumbled upon the Preseason Top 25 that the AP swore would hold true because of their experts…boy I don’t think they could have been more wrong at this point.  To explain my list the rankings are the actual rankings the AP set at the beginning of the season.  The numbers in parenthesis are their actual rank as of the end of regular season.  The teams in bold are teams which are not eligible for any bowl games (aka they have a sub .500 record).

2. Ohio State (10)
