And Creighton beat Alabama so does that mean they should be ranked ahead of Bama?
For whatever its worth, coaches seem to broadly agree with my opinion that Alabama is a little bit better than South Carolina right now.
Nobody is winning anything in early February though, so we'll just see how it goes...
I do tend to think South Carolina played an especially outlier bad game v. Alabama...so the 30 point win is a bit of an aberration but I'd still pick Alabama in a rematch because there seemed to be some matchup issues there for USC.

I don't dispute that Alabama is the better team. They smoked us. But the AP poll isn't based on a head-to-head matchup or who the coaches think is better. It's about the resume up to this point and how the team is playing RIGHT now, and I think SC has the advantage in both of those areas.
