Not really, there are some fairly obvious rooting interests for the teams that we've beaten to do well and for those that haven't lost to stumble against bad teams.
But if you're argument is that these rankings are absolute BS I couldn't agree more.
Alabama at number 3 is an absolute scandal. It shows that when it comes to Alabama and the SEC, the committee reserves the right to use whatever subjective mythical SEC biased criteria they cook up. The Pac12 is getting absolutely hosed.
I know it doesn't matter because we have a good chance if we somehow win out, but it still pisses me off.
I hope the team is pissed off too.

These particular rankings aren't necessarily BS, because these rankings are compiled by the same group of people who will have unilateral authority to decide who gets to play for the national championship.  These rankings at least give us some insight into their thought processes.

As far as the SEC goes, I wouldn't be confident as a Stanford fan going into a game vs Alabama.  And I would argue we are the best team in the Pac-12.
