I guess so, but I don't really care.  How would I rank them?  Not worth my time to ponder really.  Is that USC at 12?  Huh.  SEC much?

Sure, just looking at LSU, wherein their enrollment is double K-State's but only 54K more living alumni.  

I'm sure the attrition rate may be higher, as well as the life expectancy being lower...but what does "alumni" mean.  Graduate or flunked out/MRS degree?

I like that...

It's a different year, but until somebody beats Indiana, and they keep demolishing teams, they stay 1.

I don't know about the Cats at 23.  Road game at Cincinatti and Willie Fritz/Houston is after that.  They manage to win those, definitely should be ranked.

But our QB did what he should have been doing for the last several years, used that speed to gain 152 yards and two touchdowns.

Huskers have a QB with some speed this season - it was worth a TD vs North Dakota

Florida is ranked.  That is neat.

The Gators are favored -3.5 vs Ole Miss.  Umm.  For some reason.  I don't get it.

Yup.  
The whole world thinks Ole Miss is due for the biggest letdown game ever, but I didn't know Vegas took that into account.

The more people who say that makes it less likely to happen, imo.

The Swamp is the Swamp, but it doesn't hide a lost defensive back or help a big guy catch Trinidad Chambliss.

I'd guess folks who bet made that line, which might shift if "pros" come into the equation.
