In my poll I have FSU ahead of Clemson. The reasoning, I guess, isn't head-to-head, but where they were in the polls before they won/lost. FSU was 9 last week and now they drop 9 spots and Clemson was unranked. I had kind of the same deal. FSU was in my top 10 but they lost and dropped 9 spots or something. I had Clemson unranked.

I could see holding Florida St. above Clemson if Florida St. had really played well up until now, but I don't see how Florida St. remains above Clemson in this case.

My signature is my response again. 8)
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

It is situations just like this that I think that there should be no polls for the first 3 to 5 weeks of the season. College teams have so much turn over from year to year. No one really knows how good or bad a team is going to be until they play a few games. But tv would not like that idea. I think the pollster try to make sure that they make the match ups look as good as possible. TV stations want that #1 vs. #2, or #4 vs. #6, or #10 vs. #20, etc. They do not care if it is accurate because it makes the game seem important, and they believe they will have more viewers.

I agree that there is no way that F. State be ranked this early in the season over a team that beat them in their own home. If it was week 8 and it was the only loss that F. State had then I would say you can not drop them that much for just one loss. But it is just 3 weeks into the season.

Just my thoughts.
