SB Nation BlogPoll College Football Top 25 Rankings "
The LSU Tigers and the Clemson Tigers both received consideration, but only due to absolute necessity. The only game I attended this weekend was a high school football game on Friday night, but I watched all or significant portions of the following on television: Auburn-Mississippi State, Houston-UTEP, Georgia-South Carolina, Florida State-Oklahoma, LSU-Vanderbilt, Alabama-Penn State, Oregon-Tennessee, and Stanford-UCLA, along with bits and pieces of Marshall-West Virginia, Michigan-Notre Dame, and Miami-Ohio State.

How can you only have Auburn at #23? They beat Mississippi State by 3. Get with it puppy dawg.

This whole BlogPoll cannot be legitimized...
…until Jacksonville State and James Madison have a cage match. No Respect, I say!

Nice.
I like it, particularly since it contains a subtle underlying allusion to the idea of a fight between General Thomas Sumter and the Father of the Constitution!
Go 'Dawgs!
im not so sure
Oregon deserves #3… they looked average at best against a bad Tennessee team through the first half, even trailed for a small portion of that first half. No doubt a top 10, maybe #5… and I gotta say it; love the love were gettin!
You may be right about Oregon.
We’re in that awkward phase during the first few weeks of the season when preseason expectations still provide some guidance (even though many of them have proven unreliable already) yet small sample sizes prevent real resume ranking. The Ducks have given me no reason to drop them, so I let them move up in line with the teams around them when the Broncos dropped.
We’ll start to see more movement in the next couple of weeks, as we find out which wins were more or less valuable than we thought at the time (other than Boise State’s win over VPI, I mean).

Houston Cougars are a suspect
They are a non-BCS program and have beaten Texas State Univ (FCS) and UTEP. Also, Texas A&M have so far beaten Stephen F Austin (FCS) and Louisiana Tech. So, I would wait before I keep them in the top 25. This ranking makes a lot of sense otherwise. Though, I have a feeling that we will see some big upsets this weekend.
