Alabama should be #2 after Texas struggled with Colorado. Iowa and Penn State should flip since Iowa beat them.

Iowa beat PSU.
Miami has better wins and loses than tOSU and USC.
LSU’s only loss was to the best team in the country, shouldn’t drop below USC or tOSU.
Nebraska over GT. They actually have a defense.
Stanford out. Ole Miss out. South Florida and Notre Dame are both better and it pains me to put ND in there.

Yeah its kinda rough to drop a team 6 spots because they lost to the number one team. I know its the norm in the polls, but a team shouldn’t drop for losing to the number one team.

How does Kansas drop for being undefeated and get jumped by a Stanford team who lost this weekend AND has 2 losses?
Also, why is OU ranked? Can we please wait till they do something other than lose to better teams before anointing them a top 25 team. Like ND in the preseason, win and get ranked.

I would put Bama at #1, they’ve looked dominant all season, and Florida at #3. Until Tebow is Tebow again, they’re just not the same team. Round out the Top 5 with Va Tech and the real USC. Personally, I’d go with Iowa at #6, they’re undefeated and did beat Penn St. After that I would go with Miami and Penn St. before dropping in Boise St. That Oregon win keeps looking better for Boise, but what else have they done? I think you can argue for Boise being above Miami and PSU since Boise is undefeated, but Iowa definitely needs to be higher. Then I would go with Oregon and Ohio State, Oregon getting the nod just for looking much better than Ohio State from what I’ve watched of their games. I disagree with comment #2, LSU has been suspect all season with scares against Washington and Miss. State, and this week proved they couldn’t stop a team from running the dive play over and over again even with their vaunted home night game. I would actually probably put LSU below Cincy and TCU. At this point in the rankings, I start to stop caring, but Oklahoma State should be lower, they’re not the same team until Dez Bryant comes back, Nebraska should be higher, Kansas shouldn’t drop three spots for winning this week, Ole Miss is officially garbage and should be out, Pitt is way too high, as in borderline belonging at all, they lost to NC State very recently, and South Florida should be in. How that all sorts itself out, I have no idea. To summarize:
1. Bama
2. Texas
3. Florida
4. Va Tech
5. SoCal
6. Iowa
7. Miami
8. Penn St.
9. Boise State (arguably belongs at 7 or 8)
10. Oregon (looks good now but can’t go any higher than Boise)
11. Ohio St.
12. Cincy
13. TCU
14. LSU
15. BYU
16. Nebraska
17. Ga. Tech
18. Kansas
19. Oklahoma
20-25 Some collection of South Florida, Houston, Utah, Notre Dame, Pitt, and Stanford, I personally would list them in that order, but honestly, who knows and/or cares.
And yes, I added in several teams that you didn’t rank at the bottom just to keep South Carolina out of the rankings, because this is a Clemson blog dammit, and I refuse to give the Gamecocks any credit what so ever. Besides, we all know they’ll end up dropping out of the polls after they get pounded by Bama this week anyway.

@2 Good call on LSU dropping to #12. They should definitely still be in the top 10. With Iowa at #9, LSU should be #10.

I agree with Willy D. Texas should be #2 and although theyb did “struggle” they did win by much larger margin then LSU did against some crap teams. I also think Florida will get knocked off. And dropping South Carolina would be great, they’ve played no one, and ole miss is trash.

Ok, Texas, USC, OSU stay because I’m not keen on dropping people just because. 20-25 stays and I add Houston just cause they can hang with the big boys. I’m not bumping Texas because ESPN did. The only reason they did is because they can have a 1 vs 2 match up for the SECCG if they both make it untouched. It makes their contract look good. I will not jump Texas just because the big red network.
Didn’t see that Stanford lost. Kansas drops because they struggled against ISU and they had some glaring, glaring deficiencies if you actually watched that horseshit game.
Agree w/ Neb over GT.
Sakerlina stays, you bunch of homers.
