Wow, I am speechless. Anyway, polls from the start or finish are worthless. One team will win it all, the rest, go home crying. Lol, their fans definitely do.

Are their eyes open or are they using the force?

Look I hate Bama as much as anyone, but they absolutely destroyed South Carolina and Kentucky, and barely lost to UGA. I get it. LSU will still kick their arse hopefully.

Good point. These polls are ludicrous, nothing more than for the gambling types. Lot of season left. Like I said earlier, this is looking like 2007 again.

Bama blew the doors out of Kentucky and South Carolina and the UGA loss came down to the wire. They have more impressive data points despite the H2H loss to Tenn. Tennessee's entire resume is the Bama win, they lost to South Carolina and Texas who were the only other 2 quality teams they played. Tennessee has Kentucky this week so they get a chance to get another high value data point.

Quite frankly this poll is pretty good imo. I have a couple minor gripes like Indiana at 4. If they're going to put Notre Dame at 11 because they haven't gotten a signature win (which I agree with) then Indiana should be around there too since they lost to Ohio St and the rest of their schedule isn't much to write home about. Their signature wins are Northwestern and Minnesota, neither of which the committee seems to respect so why is Indiana getting rewarded so much? I guess Northwestern is more impressive than the Wisconsin win for ND so maybe just ahead of ND. Either just behind or in front of BYU depending on if you value BYU's win over ND more than anything Indiana has done or think Indiana only losing to OSU shouldn't be as punished as much as BYU's loss to UCF which is pretty bad.

But I'll say I do think this poll is FAR better than the AP or Coaches and I'm glad this is the one that matters.

Valid points.

ETA: polls mean nothing until the end except for gamblers.
