Today’s AP and USA Today Polls have Ohio State remaining in the top spot. Fair enough; that Texas win was a big statement for the Buckeyes. Texas slipped to the eighth spot in both polls; once again seems reasonable.
Is Georgia really a Top 10 program at this point? AP has the Dawgs ranked tenth, while the coaches think UGA is number nine in the country. Maybe by the end of the year, but seems premature at this point.
What about Florida State? After that near disaster against Troy, how can they be ranked ninth (AP) and tenth (USA Today) respectively? Sure they won, but did anyone voting watch the game? Giving the Seminoles credit for overcoming adversity, but they should drop for their poor performance.
Same goes for Tennessee. You do not let Air Force come within a whisker of beating you and still remain a Top 15 team. At least the AP got this one right, dropping Tennessee from eleventh to thirteenth, while the Volunteers remained ranked seventeenth in the USA Today poll.
It is only week number two, but already there should be plenty to debate about the polls. Once the BCS nonsense rolls into town, the real fun begins.
