College Football Rankings 2014: Twitter Reacts to AP and Amway Week 7 Polls

The college football season has reached the point where it is logical to question why we even have polls.

After all, if 11 of the supposed Top 25 teams in the AP Poll lose in one week, do we really know anything about where teams stand in relation to other ones?   

Week 6 brought a historically strange set of games, as five of the top eight-ranked teams in the AP Poll lost for the first time ever in a single week. In fact, the Nos. 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 teams in the AP Poll all lost.

Here is a look at the resulting carnage in the AP, Amway Coaches and Bleacher Report Top 25:

With all the chaos going on in the college football world, Marcus Hartman of Fox Sports Ohio and Doug Lesmerises of Cleveland.com pointed out the ironic part of Saturday's results:

Still, the upsets were incredible, regardless of how meaningful the polls actually are this season. ESPN Stats & Info, SportsCenter and Rachel Nichols of CNN noted just how unlikely all the games truly were in Week 6:

Filling out a Top 25 poll can't be easy after 11 of the ranked teams lose, but it is still noteworthy to see Oklahoma ahead of TCU and Oregon ahead of Arizona after the Horned Frogs and Wildcats pulled the respective upsets.

Ryan Ginn of Scout.com pointed out the backward logic:

Ginn wasn't the only person to acknowledge some of the discrepancies in the Amway rankings. Jason Kersey of The Oklahoman and Stewart Mandel of Fox Sports also commented on the recent polls:

That wasn't as much of an issue in the AP Poll, as Eric Seger of theozone.net said:

Tim May of the Columbus Dispatch pointed out just how drastic some of the movement was in the AP Poll after the upsets:

There has been some recent debate about which team should be rated No. 1 (just look at that spot on the Bleacher Report rankings), but Florida State's coach Jimbo Fisher had an answer for that, via Brendan Sonnone of the Orlando Sentinel: “Polls, we can’t control. All we can control is how we play. We just keep playing ball and we’ll be fine. Polls are for the polls and the voters. If we keep winning and doing what we do, we’ll be fine."

One team that doesn't have to worry about being ranked No. 1. is LSU, which lost in blowout fashion to Auburn Saturday. Ross Dellenger of The Advocate noted what that meant for the Tigers in relation to the polls:

Arash Markazi of ESPN had bad news for fans in the Los Angeles area and the Pac-12 in general:

Perhaps the best part of the new polls is looking forward to the next batch of games. Mandel was doing just that:

That showdown is sure to be the highlight of all the games on deck for Saturday, which isn't a surprise coming from the SEC West. 

With highly ranked teams in Auburn, Alabama, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Texas A&M and the typically strong LSU, the only worry now from that division has to be that everyone will beat each other. That could have a trickle-down impact when it comes to the College Football Playoff, as other conference champions gradually move up the polls.

One thing is for sure, though: No position is safe in the AP or Amway Polls if we see any more weeks like we just did.
