THE POLLS : WEEK 15 ( again, I've lost count - but we lost to Tech, so what could it matter, week 906... something )

THE MORNING AFTER

Following a disastrous day for the SEC at large, Ala-damn-bama, pounded on the doubters with that yellow hammer, coming back from a nail biter in the Iron Bowl to rack  up 55 points - and reclaiming the #1 spot. The SEC finally devoured enough of its own to only claim the first and tenth spot.

1. ALABAMA
2. Florida State
3. Oregon 
4. TCU
5. Baylor
6. Ohio State
7. Michigan State
8. Arizona
9. Kansas State
10. MISSISSIPPI STATE
11. Wisconsin
12. Georgia Tech ( yuck )
13. OLE MISS
14. MISSOURI
15. GEORGIA
16. UCLA
17. ARIZONA STATE
18. Oklahoma
19. Clemson
20. AUBURN
21. Louisville
22. Boise State
23. LSU
24. Utah
25. Nebraska

I've said all season that these polls really don't matter, that only Tuesday night does, but here, with the last one, this one sort of does. The group of every how many are not going to go off on some wild limb and not pic at least something close to this. 

Poor Ohio State sitting there not being invited again after their qb broke his ankle in the game. I guess the #4 is interchangeable, but the top three will be the top three. NOW, there are the division play offs next weekend - so Alabama could lose to Missouri.. doubtful, but they could.

There we are , sad little middle of the road UGA . 

1 and 2 play each other in the ROSE BOWL - right now that being Bama / FSU , and the winner of that game will play the SUGAR BOWL WINNER - OREGON / TCU in the Final Game. It took me a min to process that - thinking that one and two should face one another - BUT , the two teams will be one and two post the play-off. It is still all new to us.
