Ohio Sate's offense once again lets them down. 5 field goals.

ACK!

Florida State above Ohio State?

Iowa above Iowa State?!

Well FSU is 2-0 . I think they are banking on the fact that in the Miami game, Weatherford was just nervous and inexperienced and the end of the Citidel game is when he got his confidence.

Iowa, even though they got blown up by Iowa State, is probably a better team overall and will have a better record when all is said and done.

Is it too early to start the BCS debates?

With 4 of the top 7 being SEC schools, would an undefeated SEC champion be left out again this year if Texas and USC run the table?

Perhaps this may be better characterized as a Playoff Debate.

Depends on how the season plays out. I think if, say, Georgia runs the SEC table, they'd vault over Texas since the Big XII just looks weak. Then again, it depends on the new Harris pool and the computers.

I can guarentee you that 4 of the top 7 won't be SEC teams in December . They all look good before they gotta play the SEC schedule and some teams lose against others.

And that would be a terrific argument for no polls at all until October... a SEC champ (or ACC, or Purdue, or...) could very well run the table and get shut out of the Rose Bowl.

Is it too early to start looking forward to Notre Dame at Tennessee?

It wouldn't. But at least we'd have several games under our belt before ranking, as opposed to a largely arbitrary and always inaccurate pre-season perception of who is #1, #2, #3, etc.

Perhaps, but the pre-season rankings sell magazines. The reason college football stick with the polls is partially because of the controversy.

And IIRC, Auburn was 3rd in the computer rankings last year as well.

With ND having two impressive wins under their belt and the Vols yet to face Florida and LSU, it is too early to call that a big game...

BUT, it is never too early to look forward to a UT-ND matchup.

I think that both Ohio State and Michigan took too much of a fall in this poll. LSU moved up one too many.

Intermediate poll results are meaningless. Things will mostly sort themselves out by the end of the season. Hopefully, now that coaches have to make their votes public on the final poll, there will be less shenanigans than in the past.

It's somewhat suprising to me that Utah isn't in the Top 25. They have won both of their games easily and have the longest winning streak in the country right now.

Agree with you, Tube.


And, it is insane that OSU dropped six spots after a loss in the last two minutes to the #2 team in the country. I am still shaking my head over that.
