SB Nation BlogPoll College Football Top 25 Rankings "
I penalize teams hard when they lose to unranked squads, but these first 3 or 4 polls are impossible to work out because one loss carries so much magnitude.
I watched the LSU game, along with part of the Bammer game, and I think LSU is a complete team right now. USC dicked around for 3 quarters before waking up in NY against Syracuse, and the Chip Kelly Zone read machine just keeps clicking away.
Clemson belongs somewhere in the 10-15 range, but I dont think we're a Top 10 team without a defense, which is the same thing I thought last year. The rest of the teams really only moved up because I threw 4 others out of the rankings. Wisconsin was just pitiful when I watched the 2nd half against Oregon State.
