How can you not be impressed with Oregon's 63-point win over an FCS (I-AA) team that went 1-10 last year including loses of 66-16 to Tulsa and 77-3 to Oregon State?

That's true, but these days even NFL teams are ranked each week by multiple media groups who "rank" their top 10. When there is 24 hours of news and talk to fill up, they talk about anything/everything.
I can't blame anyone if they ranked us 9. It's obviously irrelevant and as long as we keep winning everything else will take care of itself. ....as long as we keep winning...which is the challenging part.

1. Clemson. That's all we know right now. After that you can take any of the top 15 and put them in any order and it still works. We'll know more over the coming weeks.
Bama stays 1 as long as they don't loose. It's crap, their offense was exposed by an inferior VaTech team.

IMO, There is no clear cut 5 in order.
- Bama struggled to score 2 offensive touchdowns against a weak defensive Va Tech team (and this isn't the Va Tech from 2002-2007ish). Not one Bama player cracked the top 6 in the Heisman watch which is indicative of their team.
- Oregon found the weakest D-1AA team out there and beat them up the entire game. Not impressive just helps pad stats for trophies. Next year I heard they are scheduling either Franklin University or Devy for their opening night.
- Ohio State looked great the first quarter and then fell asleep and got outscored 20-17 the final three quarters.
- South Carolina's best player struggled to get more than 3 tackles and failed to register a sack against North Carolina. The entire team didn't turn in a top 5 performance in terms of the entire game. You should have more TDs on opening night, in your stadium, in primetime coverage. Beating UNC means nothing unless its in basketball.
- Stanford has yet to play
- Clemson won a battle against Georgia. But lets remember that Georgia is notorious for starting out ranked high and finishing off with a disappointing season. If were switching teams around based on the first week of play, Clemson has to be #1.
The list continues with every team and their large faults.

Not disagreeing with you, but when schools book the YSUs, FAMUs and Saint Nicholas of this world, then-borrowing the words of Woody- only three things can happen and two of them are bad. You can go crazy and totally annihilate, humiliate them - bad press and public opinion, but good poll results. You can let them hang around till the end - bad press, lots of booing and bad public opinion along with bad poll results. Or you get Appy Stated -bad press, torches and pitchforks appear overnight, bad public opinion, disastrous poll results and your coach gets fired and the AD shipped off to Fargo state or Bumfuck, Egypt (see BKB's posts in "sound off") The situation isn't much better when you schedule teams from the MAC, Mountain West, or the conference formally known as Big Sky.

I'm not criticizing Oregon's blowout win, but rather the amount of credit they're getting for it.

Teams that consistently schedule FCS opponents should be banned from upper tier BCS bowl games. That, or they should be forced to only use 2nd and 3rd string players at the very least. It's like scheduling Varsity against freshmen...or Pee Wee teams.

Yeah, that's why I opened with the caveat about "not disagreeing." We're basically on the same page. For whatever reason, the media WANTS Oregon to do well, maybe even WANTS the last BCS NCG to go to Oregon and 'Bama. Super easy to hype - speed vs power, spread vs pocket T, non-traditional dickheads vs traditional troglodyte dickheads.

A few of the FCS teams are pretty fucking good (North Dakota State, for instance). Youngstown State would probably finish somewhere in the middle of the MAC.
