Somebody gave Oklahoma a 1st place vote.

 

[TrueOrange]

Alabama’s going to be ranked below Vanderbilt when they play in Tuscaloosa in 2 weeks (presuming UGA beats Alabama this week).

 

[wrangler]

They're still rewarding teams for beating teams that were mistakenly rated very high.

Oh, well, a few more weeks of SEC games should shake those up a bit.

Sugar Bowl pregame speech. Gives me chills every time I see it.

Stephen Means of Cleveland.com is the only AP voter to leave Tennessee off his ballot. Perhaps he hates the Haslam's? What a jerk.

Tennessee's highest vote was 9th.

I think that’s terrible that Miami is ahead of LSU for beating the same crappy team that LSU did.

How the F is Notre Dame 1-2 and ranked 22 ???

 

[deatojl]

I see Notre Dame moved up two spots after getting their fist win of the season against a Purdue team that's not much tougher than a bye week. The only surprise I see is they actually dropped Bama behind us. I'm trying to figure out how anybody watched Illinois play yesterday and still thinks they are a top 25 team.

 

[Dudleys87]

It’s garbage that some teams play the same type of team and move up 5 spots yet Tennessee holds

 

[deatojl]

I think that’s terrible that Miami is ahead of LSU for beating the same crappy team that LSU did.

LSU squeaked by the same crappy team that Syracuse, who we smoked, dominated yesterday while being without their starting QB for nearly a quarter and a half. I agree on Miami though.

I think that’s terrible that Miami is ahead of LSU for beating the same crappy team that LSU did.

Miami has beat ND and USF also though, who are better than that buns Clemson team that is LSU's other big win.

He's a Memphis and Indiana guy so he hates UT

The Gator Bowl win vs Indiana was JG's shining moment at UT. Two TDs in 30 seconds was insane!

We really don’t know how good LSU is. In week 1, their gritty win over Clemson looked good, but now, it doesn’t look like a quality win at all. It’s still too early to know how good most teams are. Let the season unfold, and the polls will take care of themselves.

This year has been the worst rankings I can remember. Nothing has any logic to it.

Cheaters.

They should have fell out and Mississippi St moved into top 25.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

We are better than OM and ISU.

 

[GAVol]

David Joblonski …. He moved OU from 8 to 1. Dropped us 2 spots to 22. Brilliant.

 

[VolBricks]

so Vandy beats up on a cupcake and moves up 2 spots. We beat up on a cupcake and stay at 15, makes total sense.

Anybody think we would not beat ISU, Ole Miss, TX Tech or Indiana? Me neither, why are we not at least # 11-12 this week?
