…that if Oregon is good enough to stay in the Top 25, then USC needs to be given more credit for whooping them yesterday. I’d bump them above Vandy/Georgia…

They are truly terrible. (The SEC, as a whole, remains wildly overrated.)

8/30 Louisiana-Monroe 1-0 (0-0) W 34-0
9/06 Southern Miss 2-0 (0-0) W 27-13
9/13 @ Mississippi State 3-0 (1-0) W 3-2
9/20 No. 6 LSU 3-1 (1-1) L 26-21
9/27 Tennessee 4-1 (2-1) W 14-12
10/04 @ No. 19 Vanderbilt 4-2 (2-2) L 14-13

Who have they beaten? Two nobodies, then a bad Miss. St. 3-2(!), loss to LSU, squeeking by a BAD Tennessee, losing to a Vanderbilt (and their backup QB) who haven’t beaten much of anyone yet. If you watched that whole excruciating Miss. St. game (as I did), they’d have gone long ago.

The necessity of dropping Auburn is the only thing I feel strongly about at this point in the season.

You’re clearly much more impressed by Vandy’s win over Auburn than I am. They’re good, but the ’Dores are probably No. 15 or so.

I agree with amorphous: enough with Auburn. They are clownshoes.

Wisconsin isn’t good. Period. They need to fall much more. Consecutive losses to Michigan and an overrated Ohio State team? Pass.

Can we please get some love for Tulsa? Please?

Alabama should be 5 at best. I’d bump up Penn State. LSU? Maybe 6. I think Vandy is pretty salty, but Auburn in no way resembles a good team.

I certainly wouldn’t put Southern Cal any higher. Oregon State was a bad, bad loss. Ohio State is too high also.

I’d give some more love to Okie Lt and North Carolina.

- I stand behind the Top 6

- I’m starting to think Kentucky, just based on its defense, might be worth a nod. I think Alabama’s struggles were more a reflection of UK’s strength rather than Bama weaknesses.

- Auburn drops below OSU and USC, but I still like them over a poor Va Tech team.

- The more I look at it, the more I want to drop Wake out of the poll. Who gets that spot between Northwestern, Ball State, Kentucky, Tulsa, or Georgia Tech?
