That's the problem with poll voting nowadays. No one votes because the team wins or loses anymore. Just how they look. Style points...

So you wouldn't move Michigan down your poll because they almost lost to Akron?

:noidea: Alabama beat a top 10 team too. A top 10 offense at that.

people are going to compare alabamas win vs rest of texas a&m opponents...I can see it now....if Vanderbilt or miss st holds them to 20 something points....how did they put up all those points on Alabama.

Quit crying bud. At this stage with so many undefeated teams still in the mix, performance is largely taken into account. Bamas defense had a very poor performance. Keep winning and quit crying about some meaningless polls in week 3.

We're not talking about Michigan. I'm talking about you hyping up a Georgia team that is no better than A&M.

Why aren't they? I think they are better at pretty much every position outside of QB and LT and Murray isn't a slouch.

Based on my thoughts of each as a team. What do you base Alabama being better than Oregon or Clemson on? It's only week 3.

I never said they were better. I was aiming to prove a point. You don't have to lose for people wanting to drop you in the polls anymore.

Seriously dude, do you need a tampon for your bleeding vagina? I have to go to the store anyways.

No you don't. Polls are fluid. When everyone has the same record, and one team escapes a win vs. Akron, and another one blows out a ranked Nebraska team @ Lincoln, should they be treated the same?

It's only week 3. Too early to tell. Remember when Stanford beat SJSU last year by a fieldgoal in week 1? The same SJSU that lost by 20 to Utah State. Stanford had no chance to win the Pac 12 at that point I guess. Do you see what I'm getting at?

Polls should change week to week. If the number 1 teams doesn't look great and the number 2 or 3 or 4 team does, they should move. It shouldn't sit the same every week. That is stupid. Bama doesn't look like the best team in the nation right now so they shouldn't be number 1.

No one's dropping teams out of the top25 after a win, but you say yourself it is too early to tell. So if it is too early to tell, why would you care if your team moves around this early? After all, if you take care of business things will be fine.

If they would've gone undefeated they certainly would have. Jesus son, quit bitching.

Did Nebraska receive any votes? If they did, they are too many. They don't deserve 1 point right now IMO. I know they got some in coaches poll (26th maybe) :L

I don't care really. Just pointing things out. Ohio State dropped to #4 because?


I'll wait for a logical response...
