1. They should have dropped to #4

USC is better than them.

5. amen brutha..

unfortunately, most sportswriters and coaches from the east coast are in bed by the time the Trojans play. </sarc>

2. MIAMI??? WHAT THE FUCK!!!

Goddamn I hate Miami. They play shit teams and run up the score and are always rewarded with a top 3 placement. Did you watch the game last night? They almost lost!!! Were only saved by Flordia's shitty play at the end. Put USC at #2. Not fucking Miami.

They are the luckiest team in the NCAA. I swear to God. They play two good games a year. And often lose or almost lose one or two of them. The coaches have their heads up their asses.

3. You must be a Gator.

:crazy:

6. Bwwwaaahaaaaa

Miami has 5 NC's... Let's see... The Gators last night...FSU soon....VT, PITT, BC....etc... TN last year...Two good teams a year... Dude if you're gonna spout shit ya might want to tell us who you root for? Now you're not a USC fan are ya... LOL... When was the last time they were in the big show???? USC...God that's funny! Oh and by the way..who the hell does USC play.. The Pac 10...snarf!

7. Here it comes...

...they'll start telling us how USC beat Auburn (who, by the way, still didn't cross the goal line against Georgia Tech).

These are the same people who claimed that 2 losses didn't count last year.

[trumad]

9. Exactly AWD

this is the same team who lost to Stanford last year...LOL

4. Top 10 seems right

even though I hate the coaches poll. The coaches only know about what's going on in their own league. The AP poll is only margainally better.

I'd like to see two things. I think there should be one poll done by a committee, much like the NCAA brackets are drawn up. People that can watch more of the games and devote their time to really crunching the numbers. Second, I don't think there should be a poll at all until the end of September. Still too early to tell what's what. The second is wishful thinking, I know. No way TV would let everyone be unranked for a month.

8. They shouldn't have polls until after the fourth game.

Until then, it's all guesswork. Wait a few weeks and then you might know something about the teams. Right now, nobody knows shit. They think they know shit, but they don't. Not really.

I'm actually surprised the Buckeyes are third. I was expecting fourth or even fifth. Not that it matters this early in the season, anyway.
