THE POLLS : WEEK 10



Keeping things all fluid again this week, with that solid block of SEC teams breaking up, just a tiny bit - hopefully to be replaced by the non active this week UGA BULLDAWGS! We are going with the COACHES POLL this go round, sticking with our policy of going with who ever ranks us higher ( stuck at 9 in the AP )

  1. MISSISSIPPI STATE 7-0
  2. Florida State 7-0
  3. ALABAMA 7-1
  4. AUBURN 6-1
  5. Michigan State 7-1
  6. Oregon 6-1
  7. Notre Dame 6-1
  8. GEORGIA 6-1
  9. OLE MISS 6-1
  10. TCU 6-1
  11. Kansas State 6-1
  12. Baylor 6-1
  13. Ohio State 6-1
  14. Arizona State 6-1
  15. Arizona 6-1
  16. Nebraska 6-1
  17. LSU 7-2
  18. Utah 6-1
  19. East Carolina 6-1
  20. Oklahoma 5-2
  21. Clemson 6-2
  22. West Virginia 6-2
  23. Marshall 8-0
  24. Duke 6-1
  25. UCLA 6-2
OK, so half the top 10 are SEC Schools - but now only three of the top five. ( life being hard at the top )
The clock rang midnight for little Ole Miss - only the most die hard rebel fan was not on pins and needles about going into LSU's Death Valley at night with the Tigers' back up against the wall - a three loss season this early would have been a catastrophe for LSU. Playing Auburn this coming week could really wear them down. It is a 7 pm game in Oxford
Leaving only the top ranked Mississippi State Bulldogs as the lone Cinderella team in the magnolia state. I did not think there were all that impressive at all against Kentucky this weekend, so that Alabama game three weeks from now could be a ugly one for the cowbellers.
Florida State is a dreaded Thursday game this week , against Louisville - fingers crossed there.

UGA's annual South Georgia home game - does anyone still call it the cocktail party?  Lots and lots of sad jort wearers this go round, so beating us would a) make them all just a bit happier and b) save their coaches job.You can never ever rule out the Gators in Jacksonville.

The play off selection committee meets this TUESDAY - their top 4 will not be this top four for sure - most of the college football world is all a bit pissy that the SEC is sucking up all the oxygen in the room - so I am betting the suits try and spread some love - with Auburn being the red headed step child.... but it is still somewhat early.
