...an Oklahoma loss?


I know it won't matter in the end as long as Bama & LSU win all of their other games. Honestly any team that comes from the SEC west this year should be ranked ahead of Oklahoma by years end even if they have 1 loss.

I doubt it. Teams shouldn't move ahead of other teams when that team doesn't lose.

Okla can only win 12 games with no championship playoff.......so if 2 other teams go 13-0, Okla should be bumped to #3......and not play in the NC game...........

That's horse shite to say a team shouldn't jump another team if they don't lose. That's why I hate pre-season polls. Pre-season polls are the main reason for all the controversy at the end of the season on who should go where. College football loses and gains to many players each year to have a pre-season poll.

Personally I don't care if OU stays at #1 but how will Wisconsin and VT feel at the end of the season if OU, (LSUorBAMA) are all undefeated but since OU was pre-season #1 they keep the spot. That's why college football needs a playoff.

If oklahoma played a close game, Clemson beats FSU, snd Bama or LSU win convincingly, yes.

So if OU is undefeated they should fall below a 1 loss SEC team?

Alabama hasn't played anyone yet. This week is their first real game. LSU has beaten a top 5 team, and a ranked in conference MSU team. IF Alabama beats the pigs it'll be a good win, but they still would be lightyears behind LSU.

After tonight LSU would have victories over Oregon, MSU and West Virginia. All ranked. If LSU is ranked 1 after this weekend they will have earned it.

Bama starts earning their rank tonight. As of now they've been given the benefit of doubt. Their defense hasn't played one good offense yet. It's still all hype

Nope. If LSU had've had about 12-15 preseason votes for #1, then I'd say yes with their schedule and wins so far. They started too far back to jump them at this point. Bama hasn't played well enough yet to even think about jumping OU.
