re: New AP Poll

Don't think Auburn or Mizzou belong that high but no real justification to drop them that much this early other than "because".

I haven't watched Mizz played, so I'm not going to comment on them.

But I have watched both Auburn games, I live in a house divided. So I watch all of them.
And while I don't really think the transitive game is a real way to judge teams, one loss to a team equals another loss t a team you don't play , ect. It's only 2 weeks and the irrelevant polls are working themselves out.

If I was on the playoff committee , I would view it as this.

Auburn had no business winning Saturday , how they played. The win win , they survived as well to a team that now has 2 losses, one of which is to a non p-5.

MSU really narrow loss in a conference game shows more than Auburns wins. I would have them higher.

UT loss in OT to a P-5 power is better than Auburns wins.

Based on just the eye test, cannot stop the zone read and a your bell cow not showing what the experts thought all Summer which why you started out ranked so high. I would have them unranked.
