Yes. College basketball preseason polls are harmless. The football polls unfairly offer certain teams a head start towards the playoff.

It isn't as bad as when they just voted for the winner, but it's similar.
Absolutely agree, which is why they need to expand the CFB playoff. 12 teams would be a step in the right direction, but I prefer the way the FCS schools do it, with 16. The old way quite simply sucked—separate polls each selecting 'champions' from among a pool of teams who often hadn't ever played one another... split polls... long term agreements between bowls and conferences that often prevented teams with the best records in a given year from actually playing one another for all the marbles...
