Imo

Byu
Miami
ND , a travesty they play unattached against mid teams and this is just "allowed"

are overrated...

As far as Texas being number 1, I feel like yes they did win at home against OSU but clearly Ohio State looked like the better team imo. Again jmo

Hard to know about Bama until next weekend. There is playing a good hard fought game win or lose and getting skull dragged. We will find out.

Texas tech is not an 11 and Oklahoma State should be much higher.

Im not sure we are a 10th ranked team because of injuries and can we win on the road and Old Piss is not a number 9 team because their defense is weak under playoff pete not to mention they are literally being carried by an NFL qb.

Ohio State
UGA
Indiana

Will go deep and yes i left Texas out. I think they got a couple losses coming and yes i believe Manning limits their offense in the passing game against top shelp teams.

The rest of us will kill each other off. Jmo.

Oklahoma State is my sleeper team to make the playoffs

Indiana hasn't come close to playing a team with a pulse yet.

And notre dame is really good regardless of their schedule as is uga
And if you can’t see that you don’t know ball

Agreed with your reply except ND. They don't play a schedule like say LSU does, ever. Until they do and do 10/11 wins, I'll alway believe they are a fraud

Early season T25 polls are worthless. Too many big games yet to be played.

I do think it's ridiculous that every year certain teams get the benefit of the doubt even though they never play anyone.

LSU and other legit teams should welcome a plethora of suspect teams making the playoffs.

Miami is the biggest joke of them all.

I would love Miami to suck, but they are stacked.

Miami has not faced a ranked team thus far, and ND may be the only ranked team they all face all year.

polls don't matter. They're a relic from the past.

The Playoff Selection Committee's final ranking and seedings are all that matter.

Silly voter polls are irrelevant. Ignore them.

My thoughts. It doesn’t matter right now. We have to go 10-2. That’s it

I do think Oklahoma State is good but you can’t overlook the fact they have a terrible loss, probably the worst in the entire Top 25.

I’m of the opinion, that “IF” this team doesn’t suffer any more serious injuries, and “if” the key players return by the last 3-4 games, that, as Kiffin said — as this team plays each game, and gets used to each other and the game plans, that LSU will be in a very good position to prove they’re a great team.

I can believe all of that. If we can prove that we can "win on offense" against a good tough team in a tough game, then ill believe this team has the right chemistry top to bottom. When this happens, the tigers can be special, even in year 1.

My thoughts on the current polls?

Nothing. They're irrelevant. The AP positions teams as best they can to hype up matchups for ratings. That's it.

Nobody is playing for an AP title. It's a pointless poll run by people who largely don't know what they're talking about.

Number 10...AP playoffs here we come!!!
