Before you yell and say where is so and so team, please read my polling philosophy and then yell afterwards.
Another week down with a few upsets, a few big ones and one consistent... Alabama is the #1 team in the country and by a lot. After the Crimson Tide it becomes a muddle mess of huh and speculation. The Sooners are sneaking by and barely picking up Victories but I'm giving them extra credit for wins over Cincy, FSU and an improved Air Force team. Arguments for #2 can be made for any of the next 5 teams. Boise St. picked up another nice win this weekend. Oregon wins every game by 400. Auburn picked up a big SEC victory to enhance their Clemson win from last weekend. Arizona has the Iowa signature win. The Buckeyes victory over Miami looks enhanced by Miami's enormous victory over Pitt. Etc. Etc. Etc. There's still 2/3 of the season to play and teams like Nebraska/Florida/Wisconsin have for the most part played poor competition so things will continue to change drastically in the coming weeks.
