Don't understand how anyone can keep Ohio state #1. Top 5, sure. Not #1 though.

Because Big 10?

VERY RECENTLY Clemson and ND just played a down to the wire two point game....yet there are 9 spots difference in this poll. And VERY RECENTLY Alabama killed Georgia and there is only 6 spots difference. Totally frickin' illogical. smh

Just from the little football I've watched this year, there is no dominant team that seems heads and shoulders above them all. Should be a fun playoff.

It's almost like the rankings are based on the season instead of single games and the transitive property just might be bullshit.

It is almost like the rankings are based on perception of programs instead of the season or single games and perception is bullshit.

Coaches thought they beat Indiana at basketball.

It's almost like you don't realize you are bitching because your perception is different than theirs and just use any excuse you can find without really think about it to justify why it's wrong.

Bad poll is bad

If you think pollsters are not influenced by the names of teams you are living in a low rent dream world.

I can't understand getting emotional about polls now.

Gotta beat the champ to take his belt.

Undefeated Defending National Champions just beat an undefeated conference opponent. I don't care if you like them or not, it takes a lot more than running up the score on a 1-3 team to take over #1.

And the majority of the time they are correct to do so.

Hell disagree with it and all that, but blaming it because it's "based on perception" is just facepalm worthy.

Florida shot up nicely. I would have liked to see Michigan go up a couple more, but the season will tell the story. B1G game with Northwestern next week.

Undefeated reigning National Champions. they aren't defending it from anyone. if you are defending it you can have it taken away.

Michigan will take some time. You have 1 loss on the year and while some people complain - you do need to have some recent history to build up confidence early in the season. If Florida had 1 loss after the past few seasons, they wouldn't be near as high, maybe not even ranked at all.

Hasn't always been pretty, but the champs are still unbeaten.
