I guess you think that team records don't matter when teams are being ranked? The AP AND COTEY have done a reasonable job all year with the rankings. So what are you complaining about?
Also, most of the AP voters know how to spell. The same can't be said about most of the posters on this blog!

Most of the voter don't even know what goes on outside of their area. They just look at the record...

Nature Coast should still be ranked. No one has beaten us

It's a given fact, when you're winning, everyone hates you. When Armwood and Plant weren't winning, no one said a thing.
