Miami is a top 5-7 team... Losing at Va Tech is nothing to be ashamed of. I know they tossed in a total clunker, but they rebounded well. They will be favorites in every game from now on and should run the table.

Bye weeks are for sissies. Tennessee lost to Auburn diminishing Florida's one decent win and Miami winning over Oklahoma flatters Alabama's win over Va Tech.

i just don't believe that this 'bama team will go undeafeated , they can still win a bcs title in jan , but i don't think they go unbeaten , better to get the loss out early than late ---we shall see

Julio Jones has been in a coma and they are still undefeated. If the sleeping giant wakes up it is over for the competition.

JJ is Not doing a good job at working to get open. so far teams are playing over-under zone on him but the OC does need to do a better job of getting him involved. i do like they way GMc spreads the ball around.

i said this week would be a loss before the season started. ole miss will play like the #1 team in the country this saturday. the Bama defense is a bit out wack. they gave up a lot of yards last week to uk, that could translate to points for ole miss.

Yes, OU had to play with some bum that took all the way until his second start until he set the school record for TD passes in a game. If he had any talent he would have done it in his first start.

Whether I believe Florida would beat Alabama is irrelevant. I think rankings should be based on what you have done so far, not on what I speculate you could do. And after last weeks results I think Alabama now has the superior resume and should be #1. If Florida wins at LSU this week then they'll have the stronger resume and go back on top. The biggest problem with rankings is people get too focused on where they had a team ranked last week instead of objectively looking at the big picture again every week.

why not just go for it all and not rank anyone until the regular season and conference championship games are over?? That would solve everything!!

I like rankings cause I could have paid no attention to college football all year and would see #1 Florida at #4 LSU and know it is a huge game. What I don't like is that the pollsters pay too much attention to where they had teams ranked the previous week. They should re-evaluate every team every week instead of just leaving everyone in order except the teams that lost the last week.

who in the country goes in and wins in blacksburgh in those wet windy conditions? maybe 1 or 2 teams in the country tops , don't rate alabama as some world beaters va tech has never played well outside of blacksbugh in big spots....had the tide won that game in blacksburgh instead of the dome i could see your point...while Tenn stinks this year , their defense still has NFL talent on it and can hold it's own against most sec teams
