Obvious, polls are silly two weeks into the season…

In some ways, UM being ranked at 19 seems about right.
But if you go by actual accomplishments, who else has won all their games *and* has a win over a ranked opponent? Texas, who is clearly #1 by accomplishments to date. UM would probably be #2.
Unbeaten teams with a win over a possibly ranked opponent:
Duke (Was Illinois ranked?)
Michigan
MIssissippi (was Louisville ranked?)
North Carolina (was TCU ranked?)
Texas
I’d rather see accomplishment-based ranking: have you won your games? Who have you beaten that is good at football? Would help prevent teams who play no one from inflated rankings.
Back to the board
