They only have one decent win (barely) this season over an A&M team that is terrible with two good players. shite, A&M lost to Auburn who got arse reamed by an average LSU team. Hell the LSU fans left at halftime because the game vs. Auburn was over after 30 minutes.

Even if Bama wins this week, it proves nothing because LSU lost to fricking Ole Miss.

At least FSU has taken TWO top 10 teams to the woodshed. Bama hasn't done anything up until this point and going by their own logic does not pass the eye test like FSU has done repeatedly this season.

So why is Bama ranked #1? Preseason rankings again or something different?

Because the people who vote in the polls perceive Bama as #1

Decline so deep that LSU has gone straight into lil bro mode cutting off their nose to spite their face. Gotta love it!

Two time defending champions, 3 of the last 4. If they go unbeaten, you can't NOT let them defend the title.

Human element of polls. Tend to rank previous champions #1 until proven otherwise. Not the best system, but it's the one we have.

Does that mean that A&M will plummet in the computer rankings on the 24th because they beat a shitty LSU team?

Even if a defending champion plays an incredibly weak schedule.. this is how it works. DWI.

Miami won't be ranked after they lose to Virginia Tech and Duke (will have 7-wins when they play Miami...whodathunk?) in consecutive weeks.

Clemson won't be in the top 10 after they Clemson it up against South Carolina again.

What happened last year should have zero to do with this year.

Indeed.


Though Bama could easily have three regular season wins over teams that finish with 10 wins.
