The AP and USA today polls are a similar, with the exception this one is illustrates my point better, so Im using the USA Today Poll. I used colors to link ideas.

USA Today Poll
1. Ohio State (56) 7-0 1,495
2. Boston College (1) 7-0 1,383
3. South Florida (3) 6-0 1,320
4. Oklahoma 6-1 1,288
5. LSU 6-1 1,173
6. Oregon 5-1 1,077
7. West Virginia 5-1 1,007
8. South Carolina 6-1 997
9. California 5-1 983
9. USC 5-1 983

11. Virginia Tech 6-1 982
12. Arizona State 7-0 936
13. Kentucky 6-1 874
14. Florida 4-2 726
15. Kansas 6-0 705


LSU is still top 5 while Kentucky is 13; with the same records, am I missing something? Didnt Kentucky JUST BEAT LSU yesterday?

3 Pac-10 teams are in the top-10, all with conference losses. Yet undefeated ASU is ranked 12th. They are beating teams USC and Cal cant beat, and are ranked below them, after outscoring Washington 31-3 in the second half last night. That's NUTS!

Call it a "WACKY AND WILD" season, but I can gaurantee you this, most of those top-10 teams aren't going to finish there. This ranking system is ignorant; it's not an upset when Kentucky beats LSU. LSU has been on the ropes 3 times now. USC is struggling to beat mid- to bottom-tier Pac-10 teams. Boston College and South Florida haven't played a single team to make them worthy of #2 and #3, respectively. BC will lose next week, and South Florida shortly after that (probably the Thursday night game). I can't wait to see West Virginia lose again, and how many loses does it take to knock florida out of the top 15?

Preseason polls are the bane of my existence. There should be no polls allowed until at least week 4.
