I find it pretty weird they have dropped to #4?

Defending champions. Undefeated. Shouldn't move until they lose.

People arguing narrow wins, weak schedule...

Look at Oregon... They don't play anyone all year and are always super hyped. Lost to Arizona. Played 3 ranked opponents all year. Number 2.

Look at Alabama... (Inb4 butthurt and all that crap). Strong schedule, no arguing there but still have a loss to their name. AND had some nail biters as well correct?

Look at TCU... Same thing. One loss. Some narrow wins...

Not here to argue against Alabama being #1, rather here to argue FSU should be #1.

Just weirded out by this new system this year.

I think they are doing it for geographically matched semi-final games.

Would make sense. Allows more hands on manipulation to generate more excitement and viewers.

Doesn't matter if they're 1 or 4. Not good enough to beat any of the other 3.

Dude, FSU hasn't just snuck by a couple teams. They've had 6-8 games where it's impossible to tell if they were even the better team on the field.

If you think they are the best team in the country, then have them #1. But this committee doesn't think they are, and neither do I.

I'd rather have them exposed by their first round matchup in playoffs honestly.

they just haven't looked good against their weak schedule.

Constantly playing form behind against far inferior teams.

Nail biters yes but nail biters against some good teams, my friend. Not Louisville, Notre Dame, Boston College, etc. RMFT!!!

They went undefeated last year and beat the SEC Champ in the BCS title game.

They are still undefeated.

They should have been ranked #1 since the BCS title game and they should stay #1 until they lose a game.

You lost to Ole Miss, got clock help to beat Arkie by 1, and came out ahead of an awful LSU team in overtime that beat themselves against you.

This is what I'm saying. If Oregon, Alabama, or TCU were undefeated with the same margins of victory even against the same opponents I wouldn't care... I would make them #1.

It just defies logic to make a team #1 when at one point in time, on the field, according to the score, they where the inferior team.

I agree with the OP. And the disrespect just provides more ammo for Jimbo to use as motivation.

Them at #4 is a crock.

And now the LSU posters are dick-riding Jimbo and Rapeist. The world makes sense now.

Polls are subjective. They're not standings like in the pros, where margin of victory and the eye test doesn't matter. Watching FSU this year, do you think they're good enough that they would beat Bama, Oregon or TCU? I don't.
