Running up the score on the little sisters of the poor doesnt help the Sooners. LSU #1 and Bama #2. Here are the polls:

Arkansas, Mich, GT and Auburn were huge movers this week. Wisconsin leaped 3 top 10 teams that all won, but they looked good last night.

No way Oklahoma should have gotten jumped by Bama. Bam a whooped florida, who everyone knows wasn't a top 10 team. There really are very few really good teams this year.

Clemson in the top 10?? Michigan at 11?? Yea, college football is weak this year for sure. That's laughable. Both those teams will do what they always do... Start losing and be out of the top 25 at seasons end.

Look at Bama's wins vs. Oklahoma's wins.

Also the ap and coaches polls usually are really similar. Not this week. Huge differences all over the polls.

No ACC team in history has ever beat 3 ranked teams in a row until yesterday (and all 3 are still in the polls). Many will hate on us, but we were a premiere team in the 80s and have just been inconsistent as hell the last 15 years or so. I prefer people to doubt the team; makes for good locker room material.

No, but if you are saying it, you aren't the only one. Just read a bunch of articles; they all mention Clemson's ability to seemingly choke away games when the team is good. All of that can serve as motivation.

This is only to setup LSU vs. Bama whenever they play.

Also these polls once again show their SEC bias.

Yep, but we had a horrible, horrible motivator in Tommy Bowden who exuded no confidence. In 2009 Swinney got us to the ACC champ game which was great. But last year we simply didn't have the personnel or offensive scheme to win, so no amount of motivation would help.

Isn't the AP Poll (where two SEC teams have leap-frogged Oklahoma) the one with no real importance because it's not part of the BCS formula? So, congrats TEAM SEC, you're kicking ass in insignificant polls!!!

^ The computer portion that the BCS formula uses has Bama at 1, LSU at 2, and Oklahoma at 8.

Clemson is for real.

Michigan, on the other hand... I think we will have to reserve judgment until they actually play someone.

I agree, but their defense seems to be greatly improved this year. They started out 5-0 last year, but gave up 25.4 points per game. This year they are giving up 10.2 points per game. They did give up 31 to Notre Dame and they haven't played anyone that I think is great yet, but they are IMO better than they were last year.

I've listened to Dabo being interviewed on the field the past couple weeks. Is it just me or does he have the mic skills of a WCW wrestler back in the late 80s/early 90s? WOOOOOOO!!
