Poll rankings are immaterial to me. Just win the next game until the end of the season and the poll rankings will take care of itself.

Get where you're coming from TC3, but when ranked a team gets a lot more coverage. So I do appreciate it if for only that one nugget. I also like to see where they "feel" the Cats are in relation to others. This poll makes no sense to me, but just my take.

josh pate who authored the above cbs poll is a well-regarded talking head. that said, overall polls tend to favor tradition and have a bit of recency about them. i also agree they have little meaning today other than setting the stage for tomorrow.

Is the Sagarin rankings factored into the CFB Plaffoff seeding process at all?

No, the College Football Playoff (CFP) Selection Committee does not use Sagarin Ratings to rank college football teams:
CFP Selection Committee
Ranks the top 25 teams based on factors like strength of schedule, championships won, results, and common opponents. The committee uses a strength-of-schedule rating from SportSource Analytics, which includes factors like wins and losses, scoring differential, and game location. Al
