Yes, they were absolutely deserving. Were they the second best team...I don't think so...but the facts remain they had beaten Auburn on the road and West Virginia. Again, an Auburn team Forida couldn't beat and LSU beat on the last play of the game. I said long ago I thought both Rutgers and Cincinnati could possibly beat them...but until that happened they certainly deserved their ranking. Now that that has happened they are where they should be now.

my top 10

1.Ohio State on the basis of being undefeated
2.LSU--i hate to admit it probably the best team right now
3.Arizona State--til they lose to USC they stay here
4.Oregon--til they lose to USC they merit being here
5.USC--rolling over ND was a positive sign, hoping they roll over the pac-10 and move on to the BCS title game
6.Oklahoma---surprising team so far, just wondering how much longer it will last
7.Kentucky---if it were not for their loss, id have them as the #1 team in the nation.
8.Florida--playing very well considering the tough teams they face, can beat any team in nation, but it seems like they can also be beat just as easily by any other ranked team
9.VA Tech---just had to fill this spot
10.Auburn--2 losses I know but they could of beat LSU, and they are a very capable team, only tough team they might have left will be Georgia

lsu's home games were away last year (obviously)--no doubt everyone who is pointing out how easy they have it this year gave them credit for having all those on the road last year.

We will just have to disagree on how teams should be ranked. I don't want to see all of the unbeatens up there simply because they haven't lost. If I had a ballot, I would rank them according to how good I thought each team was, regardless of record. To me, voting South Florida as the second best team when I don't think they are anywhere close to that is as silly as voting Karl Malone the MVP award but acknowledging he's not as good as Michael Jordan. If, for example, going in, I have them ranked:

1-LSU
2-Florida
3-South Florida

and then Florida loses on the road to LSU on a last minute touchdown while South Florida is out beating Central Florida, SF would not move up over Florida. The way the polls do it is stupid, IMO.
