Pretty decent day of football. Some close games, and some upsets among the big matchups.

New ap is out.

new top 5
bama
LSU

Wisconsin

[mccoyrj]

Tigers need to find some “rat poison” now.

 

[Jimbo]

Amazing ... how does a team tied in the rankings, lose a spot when not playing and the team it was tied with loses ?

It's a DAMN good thing that the Polls mean NOTHING at this point of the season.

Right on cue.

You been waiting all day for me to post ?

Not sure how Clemson is still as high as they are ... they lost to NCS and got a reprieve and pulled that game out of thier arse ... never dropped ...

They have not played like a top 5 team at all this year.

I'm hoping for the Buckeyes to play Clemson or LSU or Bama this year ... that would be fun.

 

[mccoyrj]

I figured you wouldn’t be happy with the Buckeyes dropping in an off week.

 

[Jimbo]

I figured you wouldn’t be happy with the Buckeyes dropping in an off week.

I'm not happy, but like I keep reminding people, the polls don't count for anything at the moment ...

Bama and Clemson didn't drop when they were on a bye week.

With Georgia out of the way, I figured they would at least be 3.

With all of the big matchups this weekend, it’s really not that surprising. At the top you could swap them all at this point and it wouldn’t matter though.

 

[Jimbo]

What?

They were outplayed and lucky to win that game.

Btw, I didn't say they lost, you quit on my post.

 

[mccoyrj]

...Bama and Clemson didn't drop when they were on a bye week...

LSU did however. Jumped by the Buckeyes I believe, or maybe it was Oklahoma.

Your right, as long as your in the top 4 your good, but I'd rather be 3 than 4 ... at 4 your to susceptible to another team having a good day and passing you.

I didn't realize they were off at the time.

Top 10, I can agree with just not necessarily in that order with the exception of Notre Dame needs to be replaced with Auburn. If they played next week on a neutral field, Vegas odds would put Auburn as the favorite.

 

[Derwin0]

Watching all the posts by Georgia fans on facebook is funny. Many of them saying it's a wakeup call and if they win out they'll still get into the playoffs. I told them to ask Ohio State what happens when you lose to a bad team at home.

That's the benefit of having your road loss earlier in the season.

As it is, their resumes are similar, so doesn't really matter who's higher.

I would have put Georgia below Aubarn & Oregon though, as Georgia's loss was to a bad team at home, not a ranked team on the road (ie. Notre Dame, Aubarn, Florida, and Oregon).
