Yes they should, based on their wins.

It really doesn't matter at this point.
Alabama and Florida could be anywhere between 1 and 4 and the SEC Championship Game would be sure to vault the winner into the BCS Championship Game, where it doesn't matter if you are No. 2 or No. 1 since it will be decided in the final game.
The real controversy is around who is ranked higher between Oregon, KState, and ND. If all three win out, two of them will be left out of the final game.

Yes, although Bama is the better team

Yeah, based on wins and SOS, Oregon is getting hammered due to their SOS. And I know the argument is bama can't help that certain teams aren't as advertised but neither can any other team. I believe the computers have it right... this time.

Based on wins, I could agree that they could be #1. Doesn't really matter though since they will more than likely play Bama anyway and both will not be jumped by Oregon or KSU.

nope

Isn't this just a simple case of who started where? It won't matter if they win out and beat Bama, they'll have their chance. Finishing #1 is more important than being #1 in week 8.

This.
I'd be trumpeting this louder if it weren't for the fact that the polls aren't as fluid as they should be. If they would re-evaluate as we get into the meat of the schedule, I'd be fine with moving UF to #1 based on resume.
Unfortunately, playing tougher teams doesn't get you better poll results. If you move UF to #1, the pollsters will start questioning Bama as we go into a three game stretch of ranked teams and don't look as dominant...and then you have the same discrepancy. Damn polls.

Nope,the defending bcs champ hasn't come close to being beat yet..
It will all work itself out in end anyway.

Gotta test em with that eyeball.

Depends on if you're basing it on wins or the eye test. Really doesn't matter even a little bit though.

Alabama is 7-0 and the defending national champions. 'Nuff said.
But it really doesn't matter who you put at #1. If both teams manage to win out, the question will be settled in Atlanta in December.

I don't think Bama has done anything to warrant moving them down. UF has a better resume, but we have not looked dominant. Also it really doesn't matter who is 1 and who is 2. Now if we were 4 or 5 I would bitch about it.

GTFO with that shite

Yes,

So what currently ranked team has Bama beat? What's the best team/best defense you have faced? i'll tell you, OLE MISS... Florida has earned it thusfar. If bama beats state then great you earned your ranking. but as of now... not so much

If no rankings came out until the BCS last week, then UF would probably be #1.
But since they do, and Bama started #1, are the defending champs, and have looked great this year, no one is going to move them down even though they don't have any really good wins.
Looking simply at what each team has done this year alone, yes UF should be 1.

The BCS isn't a merit based system. It is a poll. Why does everyone care so much? At a certain point they will be able to beat Florida(if they don't choke against LSU they could play them in the SECCG, and FLorida wins out, Bama will still be the best 1-loss team, and will probably go to the BCS to play Florida anyway).
