Herbie on ESPiN SportsCenter asked to name his top-5, says FSU is a clear #1 and "I don't know" who's #2. EABOD.

He recovered and stated that people aren't giving you guys enough credit.

 

[DZ83CK]

Herbie says the debate is whether people think OSU is "a better team" than the resume of the SEC champs. Oh yeah, what a debate

 

[Buckeye doc]

They'll find a way to leave you guys out. They are hell-bent on getting an SEC team into the NCG.

I don't doubt that they will try. But they really shouldn't. A 1 loss team going in over an undefeated from a bcs conference makes the whole thing illegitimate. I have enough faith in the coaching poll to believe they will see that.

 

[jwinslow]

He recovered and stated that people aren't giving you guys enough credit.

You know a great way to fix that? Actually giving OSU credit, but that's not his intent. Placation is.

 

[youra6]

You guys do know its okay to be worried about the defense and be proud of the fact we are 24-0. The two aren't mutually exclusive...

Taylor Lewan: That's not the #3 team in the country.

Easy to say when you gave up almost 400 yards rushing and your offense decided to play the best game they've played all year, ya douchebag.

Taylor Lewan: That's not the #3 team in the country.

Easy to say when you gave up almost 400 yards rushing and your offense decided to play the best game they've played all year, ya douchebag.

But he's right. They're the #2 team in the country.

 

[Magua]

They are talking about computers projecting Auburn at 1 with a win next week? Do the computers ignore losses, by two scores, to mediocre teams?

 

[WaitingforKickoff]

New poll, I'm afraid...wish/hope I can say that I'm wrong...

1. Free Shoes
2. Auburn
3. Alabama
4 tOSU
5 Missouri

[doing best voice impersonation of the imagination-land mayor dude] that's just fucking stupid! [end/]

They'll find a way to leave you guys out. They are hell-bent on getting an SEC team into the NCG.

Pin it.
Save it.
Guarantee it.

If you guys don't curb stomp next week, and Auburn wins next week, they are going to move them ahead of you guys. Guaranteed. It's all in their evil plans.

 

[kujirakira]

I like mizzou in that game. auburn has just spent everything and mizzou's run defense is solid.

Pin it.

If you guys don't curb stomp next week, and Auburn wins next week, they are going to move them ahead of you guys. Guaranteed. It's all in their evil plans.

Sorry, dude. The fix is in:

The 2013 Harris Interactive College Football Poll is comprised of 105 panelists and includes former coaches, players, administrators and current and former media. Panelists are randomly drawn by Harris Interactive from among more than 300 nominations supplied by the 10 Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A) conferences and independent institutions. The panel meets Harris Interactive criteria for sample design and is a statistically reliable representation of all 10 conferences and independent institutions.

So, who are the panelists? I've highlighted a few for you....with one interesting one underlined...
