LSU drops 2 places for having their game canceled. Arizona (42-32 over UTSA), Missouri (34-3 of SE Mo St -- 20-3 late in the 3rd before a blocked punt TD), Truck Driver U (16-13 over Washington), and Tennessee (struggled with BGSU) all move up. Polls are silly.

I love it when they are completely irrelevant to THE UNDISPUTED! 8D

just curious but based upon the relative positive performance within that conference this past week, would you differ greatly from that poll? I mean it's all worthless crapshoot at this point anyway, but I'm curious as to what teams you'd replace those teams with.

I would take out Tennessee and put in Northwestern. Bowling Green walked all over Rocky Top, while the Cats took out a Top 25 Stanford.

Outside of Bama and A&M I don't think anyone in the SEC was really that impressive......beating on the FCS/Sun belt/MAC isn't impressive for anyone in a top 5.

Auburn still doesn't impress me at all, Johnson looked flat awful throwing the ball at times, if The Ville had any kind of offense it would had been a different outcome.

South Carolina had some luck go their way to beat a average at best UNC team, congrats.

I can't believe Mississippi State is in there. What was their best win last year? 8-5 LSU, 8-5 Texas A&M or 8-5 Auburn? And they started this year with an 18 point win against a team that went 3-9 in C-USA last year. Ditto Tennessee who's best win was 7-6 South Carolina or 7-6 Iowa and they started out with a less than inspiring win over BG.

If Alabama and TCU are really Top 5 teams than Wisconsin and Minnesota are Top 25 teams.

Miss St does seem premature based upon what they lost, but beating the teams you referenced last year isn't a "bad" resume. I would think any team beating 3 or 4 Power 5 teams with winning records would qualify for top 25.

Miss State vaults into the polls at no 25 after taking down the mighty Southern Miss Eagles 34-17 in a game that was much closer than the scoreboard suggests. Southern Miss dominated time of possession and the total yardage was damn near equal.

Meanwhile Northwestern gets nada after beating the previously No 21 ranked team in a slugfest, Northwestern having a large yardage advantage, and having their way with the Stanford defensive front. I guess Stanford must not have demonstrated Stanford football.

I wouldn't even have a poll until October because it's based almost entirely on speculation at this point. It's ridiculous.

Listening to talking heads go on about ten ranked teams as some sort of evidence of SEC dominance. The reality is at this point that it's evidence of stupidity, laziness and group think among the voters.
