:slappy: Nike U ranked 24th in the coaches pole... unbelievable ... how they can be ranked after that curb stomping Utah laid on them is amazing. On the sunnier side of things.. It kept scUM outta the top 25... oh and the Mighty Dax Prescotts and Mcillwains are now in the top 25 ... because there's a rule that you can't have a top 25 without at least 6 SEC teams

Not to suggest that there is ANY sort of bias in the polls, but based on rankings coming into this weekend and records coming out of it:

There are 5 undefeated teams in the SEC, and 6 ranked teams.
There are 3 undefeated teams in the PAC and 6 ranked teams.
There are 5 undefeated teams in the B1G and 4 ranked teams.

Just read the blurbs alongside the espn power rankings. Adjectives used to describe Ohio State and Sparty wins: ho-hum and blah. OHio State "isn't playing like the best team in the country." And for poor Sparty, they suffered a devastating injury that might as well rule them out.

Here's the write-up for Ole Miss because simply pulling words out of it wouldn't do justice to the mental gymnastics in play to put frosting on this turd.

The Alabama hangover was worse than expected -- but the Rebels still prevailed. Ole Miss, coming off its wild win over the Crimson Tide, had its hands full with an inspired Vanderbilt team that wasn't interest in being a speed bump. The Rebels finally pulled away for a 27-16 win, but did so despite penalties, mistakes and missed opportunities in the red zone.

They were "hungover." Vandy was "inspired." They "pulled away" (winning by only 9) despite all those mistakes that, is otherwise clearly implied, would have meant a 50 point win. They are literally chubcited to drop us down to #2 next week and get an SEC! team in it's rightful and gawd given place atop the poll.

Buckeyes remain #1 this week with 42 1st place votes, but just by 17 points. Mississippi getting 11 1st place votes, followed by MSU at 7. That means that several folks are placing the Buckeyes further down that #2 on their dance cards.
