Yep. It all goes back to stupid preseason rankings and conference misconceptions. We really have no idea which conference is ever truly "the best" or "the worst", but analysts love to act like they know.
Side note: Florida earned their ranking based on their game with ole miss who is now losing by double digits to Memphis. Florida, however, also was in dog fights with Tennessee, Kentucky and ECU. No one talks about this though. Can we do away with preseason polls?
