No idea how FSU didnt drop further in the polls. Huge Blowout and they are still #13...

And OU and Ole Miss need to not be in the top 25. OU has been getting embarrassed and Ole Miss couldnt hold a lead if it was ducttaped to them.

It will all sort its self out. FSU has some tough games ahead, they will lose multiple games.

OU is a fraud. They got talked up way too much preseason. Baker Mayfield is a wannabe Johnny Manziel.

A team like UCLA should be up in the rankings. Their only loss is to A&M in overtime, at College Station. Notre Dame finally dropped out of rankings, they are awful this year. Texas's win over ND doesn't mean sh*t now and they just lost to Cal.

Mayfield did great last year when Stoops actually ran the ball. Now that they have decided they are going to put everything on his shoulders, he cant live up to the expectations.

Wonder how long we are going to have to endure Stoops. Texas cut ties with Mack after a couple disappointing seasons, maybe this is the beginning of the end for Stoops.

awfully quiet in here after a big weekend.

Agreed, I think it's still too early in the season. To say FSU is complete crap is an overstatement too. If FSU wins out, they are still likely at top 10 team.

I think both OU and FSU is a lot better than most people give credit to. Mostly b/c people refuse to believe Houston and L-ville are legit final 4 teams. I bet not a single team in the nation today would want to match up against Houston and L-ville at this moment. They can go toe-to-toe with Bama and Ohio State.

yawn, it's about to get a lot more annoying for the rest of the country. These Buckeyes are 50% true and redshirt freshmen. Ohio State will be legitimate title contenders every year for the next 6 years. They just pulled in the greatest recruiting class of all-time since recruiting rankings were created, and poised to take in another #1 class for 2018.

I hope OU isn't as stupid as UT. The grass isn't always greener on the other side. So many examples of large programs cutting ties with long time successful coaches and just being mid-tiered teams for a decade after...

Yeah that's cool. My dawgs strength of schedule will kill then even if we get past Stanford which isn't likely

I assume voters are giving the Noles the benefit of the doubt based on the number of key injuries they had on defense last week and the fact that they still have a lot of talent that can turn things around after this loss.

What I don't get is the AP moving the Hurricanes up 10 spots to #15 after beating two bottom tier and one mid tier team.

Glad I don't have to hear about ND making a playoff push the rest of the season.

Stoops has consistently been under performing in big games since their Title in 2001.

its been the same season over and over. Either a great regular season then dont show up for the bowl game, or an ok regular season and a bowl game win.

Still recovering.

Very frustrated with my Noles. We have so much talent that isn't being utilized properly. Our defensive coordinator has got to go.

ehh... Polls are a game of "Whose Line is it Anyways?", where results don't matter. All it matters is what the selection committee thinks starting mid-season. These days, polls are just used to hype up TV viewership.

I hope so. I hope the CFP committee doesn't take them into account. This year the polls, particularly the AP poll, less so the Coaches' poll, have been a little more crazy than usual.

they shouldn't. That's why the CFP committee was created.

Anymore smack to talk before this weekend's games?

[1and1]

Well, i guarantee florida state is gonna play football, or something very similar.

Id like to think we're gonna be nine kinds of pissed off and take it out on USF, but I think we all know what happened last time I was all "were gonna kick ass...". Frankly USF is actually a pretty decent team, more effecient and more effective according to the stats.

[Flying Ace]

FSU will be sleepwalking the entire way until the Clemson game.

Fear the Frog.......tonight!!

[mookie45]

In a wedding today. Will have to stream the games during ceremony and reception.
