The highest ranked team to lose was NCSU (13th I think).  So, no change in top ten is really needed unless you drop OU for that close call.



This is the attitude of the lazy voter.  Ugh.

7. Ohio State
8. LSU
9. Texas
10. Washington State
LSU beat one of the worst SEC teams in years by only 7 points.  Texas won on the road late, and Wazzou spanked a good team.  There is no reason to keep those 3 in the same order as I did last week, imo.  The top 7 did what they were supposed to do, I'll give you that.

Yes, I'm down on OU.  They have no defense.  That's kind of important.  But neither does Texas, apparently.  I'm also not high on ND...they're closer to 6th than they are to 2nd.

I'm sorry, but did UTAH STATE go from unranked to #14 in the AP poll?!?  WTF is the world coming to???
No, it doesn't matter, but it's still demented.

As noted, a lot of teams are catching that 3rd or 4th loss and being dropped opening up holes for others to slide in, you can run out of decent teams when you get around 14th or so.

Utah State had a one TD loss to MSU first game out, and then 9 straight wins with a lot of offensive production over second tier teams.  Now, are they really better than UF, PSU, UDubb, et al.?  Probably not, and they would not be favored over teams ranked below them.

But at three losses, those teams ranked below them are also rather mediocre, it's just that this season there are a lot of 7-3 teams.  UK just lost at Tennessee and is ranked 20th.  Someone has to be.  The AP ranks two FOUR LOSS teams now.

The three undefeated P5 teams are 1-2-3 and the remaining 6 one loss teams are 4-9.  Slick.

And how much actual thought do you think goes into any of this?  Imagine one sportswriter who really spends an hour thinking about this, pondering the possibilities, and then he devises a good poll (maybe), and his vote is subsumed with 57 or so other rankings and basically disappears with a 2% impact.  Why would anyone bother?

Just line'em up, make a few tweaks, and send it in.

Alabama has two QBs hobbled, and some suggestions they rest them both at least against Citadel.

Saban would never concede that the Citadel is a "winnable game"

He'd have your press credentials revoked for merely suggesting such.

Looking at it, they had a hard luck start. Losses by 7, 1, 3. That’ll kill a team in that conference. I know there were good a few years ago, but they seem to have fallen off.

(Not that Bama won’t house them, even just by running inside zone 55 times)
