What if you were to learn that the polls have extreme variance and the published version is merely an average and half the poster do have PSU above (maybe well above) UK?
It's not specifically about UK/PSU, but in your instance, we either have too many voters, or half the voters are poor.  
Except there is a definitive cutoff (excluding mid-majors) on team losses, all the way down to 22 (UVA).  Literally listed are the undefeated, then the 1-loss teams, then 2-loss teams. 
It should be embarrassing for them.

Fro would probably have the SEC 1-14. 

I kid, I kid. 

He'd obviously knock both Kentucky and Tennessee down a few spots. Perhaps even outside of the top 20.

Maybe. But the other half may be more aggressively ranking other teams (while the ones ranking PSU over UK rank the others more boringly) and the entire group is just unlucky that the way it averages out looks so bad.

UCF's 3 best opponents so far:
Pitt, Memphis, SMU



This is a team that will have won 25 straight games by the end of the season AND will not deserve a playoff spot.

It'd be funnier if I was more of a homer.  This is so tired....

Exhibit #983823839 of the cowardice of voters.  What are they afraid will happen if they rank a 2-loss team ahead of a 1-loss team?!?  Nuclear war?!?!
So post yours. That is the purpose of this

1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. Michigan
4. LSU
5. Notre Dame
6. West Virginia
7. Ohio St
8. Georgia
9. Washington St
10. Texas


Most teams I suspect are the strongest have unimpressive schedules so far.  ND has a strong one, but I don't believe they're that great.  I probably value WV more than most.  Clemson had been underachieving for awhile, as they remained undefeated.  I'm afraid the playoff chase is the same as the SEC East race - it's all a contest to see who gets spanked by Alabama.  
I'm forgiving of Texas' and Michigan's first-game losses probably.  OSU was blown out, but it was just 1 loss.  LSU could beat anyone, but lost to a very flawed Florida.  Georgia is really missing its 2 RB from last year.  Clemson isn't a strong 2 for me, but I just feel their DL will bail them out when/if they get in trouble down the line.

This one looks about right to me, although I would put Michigan 4 and LSU 5,  and switch Georgia and Oklahoma.

I'd go...

1) Alabama
2) Clemson
3) Notre Dame
4) Michigan
5) LSU
6) Oklahoma
7) Georgia
8) Washington State
9) West Virginia
10) Ohio State


I don't punish losses as harshly as some. Ohio State crapped the bed, but they are still a top 10 talented team to me.

UCF is getting nowhere near my top 10. They don't play anybody and would be significant under dogs to all 10 of those teams.

Michigan and LSU are close, but I just went Michigan because I feel like they have the better coach and better QB. Both are defensive and run game oriented teams. Jim Harbaugh is a massive upgrade at head coach over Ed Oregon though and Shea Patterson is a lot better than a Joe Burrow who is barely completing 53% of his passes. Also: LSU's wins over A&M and Miami don't look quite like they did 4-5 weeks ago. Miami and A&M are awful.

Wait, wasn't that USF? I think you're getting your directional Group of 5 Florida schools mixed up.

Ha, no, it was UCF, but the fact that this comment happens is symbolic of the fact that the Knights don't matter.

NO. Clearly a Democracy is worse than a Dictatorship. Cowards.
