I do not understand how Tennessee is even ranked in either poll. They were terrible and looked very low tier in that game. Yes I get it they won, and they beat Georgia Tech and ACC team in OT. Get past the score and just look at the quality of play. They did not look like a top 25 team at all. They looked like a top 50 but not 25.
That “game” between Clemson-Kent St was beyond terrible…..Kent never once even tried to compete yet somehow the Tigers moved up in the rankings. They should lose spots for scheduling such a bad team
I certainly hope Western Michigan received a few votes!
Yeah, Western Michigan lead and nearly took out USC…
Last time Ohio State played Kent State it was 66 – 0… Kent scored 3 on Clemson… Yeah, wasn’t impressive enough to move Clemson up…
Clemson moved up because Florida State got drilled and USC struggled with Western Michigan.
Western Michigan is a VERY GOOD and veteran team.
Georgia Tech will have at least 8 wins. USC will vastly improve as the year goes on. (The USC-Stanford game will be a good tough one.) Of all the top 10 teams, Alabama and Florida played the hardest teams, USC followed them, then Washington on the road vs improved Rutgers, then maybe Michigan playing a bad Florida team… I think this year has a lot of parity in these top 8 teams. I think you will see in no particular order of for the CFP: Alabama, USC, Penn State, and either Oklahoma/Miami/Notre Dame.
