I don't think so. Early year rankings don't mean much, therefore, beating a highly ranked team early shouldn't necessarily launch up up the charts like it would later in the year.
Same reason LSU didn't benefit as much as you would have thought after beating Oregon a few years back.

I could even see a scenario in which we end up #4 and Clemson is also in front of us, though I think the SEC angle gets us enough votes to pass them. Nobody is gonna drop OSU until they lose, though.

This is sound logic. Thanks for your contribution.

Miami did just go from unranked to 15 after beating Florida. Regardless, they won't vote A&M #1. Instead the theme will shift to it being a down year for the SEC.

Well folks...Clemson jumped several by beating UGA. We will be no less than #2 if we beat bama. period.
