They have more votes than Alabama.

They are unbeaten and are the defending national champs with most of the starters from that team having returned. Oh, and they did beat Bama in December.

Out of respect. It doesn't matter since they will be playing each other.

All of these reasons are shitty. Except the first one.

Yeah, that's how it is.

I wish the rankings didn't come out until maybe week 4.

Oh well, rankings don't matter anyways.

It doesn't. Anyone who is pissed that we aren't #1 is just suffering from little man syndrome. If we keep winning we will be #1 in the only poll that matters. The last one.

Sorry, that wasn't intended for you. It was intended for the guy who is so worried about Bama being #2 when they will play Florida anyway.

Sorry, I just checked both teams schedules and I don't see them playing each other this season unless they BOTH make it to Atlanta. This season is only halfway done and nothing is guarenteed at this point.

Being #1 also makes a team more of a target by other teams and the media. I would rather work from the #2 spot and win #1 in the championship. I always prefer to be the underdog.

Once again it is the "What have you done for me lately" effect.

If Bama doesnt get to the SEC championship, they wouldnt deserve #1 anyway.
