I expected the Buckeyes to drop more.

 

[HizzleRocker]

Bama should not be ranked ahead of Michigan State or Baylor, imo. The latter 2 teams both finished with same or better records and each won their conference.

[Team Mookie]

Nice to see both Sparty and TOSU get some love and respect. I wonder if the Big Ten is turning the perception that they are a bad conference just a bit.

 

[Sox33OSU]

I see Texas A&M's huge win over the bye week vaulted them up 4 spots

 

[ida one]

I expected the Buckeyes to drop more.

Why?? Bama only dropped 4 spots when they lost.

 

[BigAppleBadger]

I expected the Buckeyes to drop more.

How? They're already the lowest ranked 1-loss team from a major conference.

 

[MarkOU]

Wow OU jumped big.

 

[occupant]

Wow OU jumped big.

Grinding out an improbable win against a higher-ranked foe on the road will do that sometimes. Onward and upward.

 

[ericd7633]

Doesn't look bad to me. Really only thing I have an issue with is Stanford behind Ohio State.

I guess I forgot that SportsHoopla members don't vote in the coaches poll.

 

[The Crimson King]

I wonder which one or two coaches didn't have Auburn at #2

 

[potzer25]

Mark Dantonio
Dana Holgorsen ??

 

[FSUmanager]

Shocked that FSU got all of the 1st place votes. Figured Auburn would get some.

i heard that conference winners are always better than teams that don't win their conference.

no.

i think auburn has as many wins over ranked teams as the entire big 10 combined.

 

[BigAppleBadger]

no.

i think auburn has as many wins over ranked teams as the entire big 10 combined.

That's because mediocre SEC teams get ranked.

Bret Bielema has Ohio State at #12

 

[Wild Turkey]

Bret Bielema has Ohio State at #12

He obviously is a retard and has an axe to grind. If he can't be more mature than that he should lose his vote.
