SEC 1-2

Alabama and Florida are now ranked 1st and 2nd in the BCS rankings.
(Monday 4 pm- Sorry for the wrong ranking information. That's what I get for trusting another blog for my news. Bloggers are completely unreliable. Except for me. Except for this time. But my point remains the same)
Here's the flaw I see in the whole ranking thing.

Those two teams will probably win next week and will still be 1 and 2. Then two weeks later they'll play each other in the SEC championship game.

I think Florida will win handily. But for argument's sake, let's assume it's an excellent game, close throughout, very hard-fought, and Alabama ends up winning 34-31.

Florida would then drop in the polls. Even though they lost by only three points to the #1 ranked team. That makes no sense.

Likewise, if Florida won 34-31, they would then become the #1 ranked team. And Alabama would drop somewhere lower than #2, even though all that happened was that that they lost by 3 points to the now #1 ranked team.

Something is wrong with that.

I remember that the Arkansas-Alabama game last year was a perfect example of this flaw. Arkansas was ranked in the high-teens prior to the game. Alabama was unranked. Alabama won the game by 1 point, and the following week they were ranked 16th and Arkansas dropped out of the polls. If Alabama truly deserved the number 16 ranking (turns out they didn't), then shouldn't Arkansas have been right behind them? Or if Arkansas didn't deserved to be ranked, why was Alabama's 1-point victory over them so impressive?
