Now I understand that losing to the then-#4, then-#9 and then-#3 teams will give you some leeway, but starting the year 0-4 with 19, 14, 19 and 23 point losses, and it takes until week 6 for them to finally drop out of the polls, but while they do drop out, in the coaches poll, they're still getting 145 freaking points. I don't care if they lost to four different #1 teams, an 0-4 team has no business even receiving a single vote in any of the polls.
