So i'm the idiot for pointing out that alabama played a team(ranked 23) with two Qb's that couldnt hit water if they fell out of a boat and LSU beats the #3 team and LSU is ranked lower and Ok is ranked 1 after playing no one. I dont get why the polls dont reflect the whole body of work over the season instead of sticking to preseason rankings

Why is anyone really worried about this right now. Last I checked you guys will play each other. It should play itself out. It might be different if it was in some other conference or even an East team that you might not get a chance to play. But on 11-5 we find out who is best.

Assuming we both keep winning...

LSU jumps Bama next week after beating MSU (Bama gets N Texas)

In two weeks Bama beats Ark and goes back to #2

Just the nature of early polling... Both teams control their destiny until after Nov5 so whatever

This. Everyone always wants to get into a pissing contest. Does it really matter at this point?

Good Lord. Grow a pair of balls. It sucks that women are accused of whining and complaining when men act like this every fricking week.

Flobserver: the team you beat may not lose another game this year..What you smoking? Bama beat a team with over 800 wins and is regarded nationally.. and beat them handidly on the road. You got some weird color sunglasses and drinking some stanky Koolaid

Kind of backwards. Penn State is the over-rated team getting the love that Alabama fed off of because a lot of the votes for one of the polls comes from that section of the country.

Alabama plays Penn State , on the road in front of 100 k hostile fans, while LSU beats a team, in a virtual home game in Dallas, that may not lose another game because they play in a crappy conference.

Fixed all sorts of things for you.

because these same dumbasses will be voting down the road if both teams say have a loss each and its basically a popularity contest not based on stats





The BCS is going to favor LSU because of the SOS. Also, whoever represents the West in the SECCG will hopefully have an additional win.

Bama and lsu are just about identical, and it shows with the almost identical number of number one votes

I didn't get my ballot in the mail... yeah they forgot my vote again.

I was planning on voting LSU number one again too.

For the record, I still stand by my statement, that the winner of the LSU - Alabama game should be ranked ahead of the other.

Yes I know its a bold statement, but it's my opinion.

The real question is this; last week and this week LSU and Bama flip flopped in the polls by playing a strong opponent and a weak opponent (Oregon, NWST, Kent St, Penn St), all 4 games won easily and convincingly. At the same time, Choklahomo sits comfortably at number 1 by beating a cream puff and then scheduling a bye week before their only real game of the year next week, and all the sportswriters in the world, who surprise surprise votge on this crap, have stories ready to publish immediately after poll is released sucking off Choklahomo for being ranked number 1 100 times in the AP poll, as if preseason or first week or two rankings equate to anything at all of importance.

2 vs. 3 don't matter. It'll be settled on field, as it should, come this November.

If Oklahoma makes it, they will get smashed in the NC game. I also think it's funny that the sec has won the last 5 NC's but only a couple times has a sec team been number 1 preseason.
