Another Top Team Falls

Last night #4 Ole Miss was upset by unranked South Carolina. This is the first time in college football history that through the first four weeks there was a top 5 team upset. The first week of the season it was Oklahoma getting beat by BYU, the week after that Oklahoma State was defeated by Houston, and last week the mighty USC Trojans lost to Washington. Which lead to an argument that I heard this week that was very intriguing. Why do they have rankings this early in the season when you are not sure about how the teams will be with the lose of players from the past year and arrivals of new players. It's just an idea but maybe like the BCS that doesn't come out till later in the season, they should not have rankings for the first few weeks and then around week three or four they come out with the rankings. It would be something new and exciting and would also cause less let downs from unknown teams being ranked high at first and quickly falling of the ranking world. It may never happen but it would be an interesting change.
