ESPN tidbits from today.

"The first item of business? Florida. The Gators seem to have more coaches' poll staying power than anyone not named "North Carolina," and even the Tar Heels were finally banished from the top 25 two weeks ago. At No. 24, what did Florida do to edge out teams like Arizona, Louisville, Vanderbilt, Wisconsin and even No. 25 Texas? A Sunday win over American must have impressed the country's voting coaches, because an impotent defeat to UCF on Wednesday would have seemingly been enough to bump the two-loss Gators out of top-25 contention to start the season. Maybe fellow coaches really like Billy Donovan. Maybe they're still buying the five-starters-returning hype. Either way, Florida seems a little out of place here."
"I'd like someone to explain this: Tennessee is undefeated with a win over Villanova on a neutral court. Villanova is a one-loss team, and that loss was to -- reading comprehension test here -- Tennessee. And yet Tennessee (No. 13) is still somehow ranked behind Villanova (No. 12) in this week's poll. Is anyone else confused? This can't just be me, right?"

Arkansas vs Seton Hall tomorrow on ESPN2 might be a good one. You wanna see a very improved player, than look for Delvon Johnson. He was flat out horrible last season, but this year he is a monster.

If anyone thinks voters play the favorites game in CFB, following the college basketball polls would make their heads explode.
