So pretty much everyone has Georgia at the #1 spot, with USC, Ohio State, Florida, and Oklahoma in the top 5. And, depending on which poll you go by, the SEC has 4 (!) teams in the top ten! Crazy I know!

Of course, I'm rooting for bama to at least win the SEC west this year. Woo underdogs! We're playing Clemson as our first game, they are the highest ranked ACC team this year, as my understanding goes.

Week 3, AP Poll:
1. USC (61) 2-0 1,596
2. Oklahoma 3-0 1,485
3. Georgia (2) 3-0 1,437
4. Florida (1) 2-0 1,414
5. Missouri 3-0 1,389
6. LSU 2-0 1,274
7. Texas 2-0 1,140
8. Wisconsin 3-0 1,076
9. Alabama 3-0 982
10. Auburn 3-0 958
11. Texas Tech 3-0 904
12. South Florida 3-0 801
13. Ohio State 2-1 800
14. Brigham Young 3-0 788

19. Kansas 2-1 445
20. Utah 3-0 428
21. West Virginia 1-1 179
22. Illinois 2-1 163
23. Clemson 2-1 160
24. Florida State 2-0 146
25. Fresno State 1-1 121

Week 3, Coaches Poll:
1. USC (57) 2-0 1,518
2. Oklahoma (1) 3-0 1,423
3. Georgia (2) 3-0 1,393
4. Florida (1) 2-0 1,335
5. Missouri 3-0 1,294
6. LSU 2-0 1,233
7. Texas 2-0 1,128
8. Wisconsin 3-0 1,027
9. Auburn 3-0 955
10. Texas Tech 3-0 887
11. Brigham Young 3-0 846
12. Oregon 3-0 783
13. Alabama 3-0 771
14. Ohio State 2-1 736
15. Penn State 3-0 724
16. South Florida 3-0 685
17. East Carolina 3-0 508
18. Wake Forest 2-0 498
19. Kansas 2-1 416
20. Utah 3-0 400
21. Clemson 2-1 233
22. West Virginia 1-1 159
23. Illinois 2-1 127
24. Arizona State 2-1 113
25. Florida State 2-0 110

Georgia drops down after a lackluster finish against South Carolina (keep in mind Spurrier always gives Georgia hell, it's a remnant from his days at Florida) and USC knocks the shit out of Ohio State to secure their spot at #1. Georgia still has the toughest schedule in the league with their regular SEC schedule: Florida, LSU, Auburn, and Alabama. Four top ten teams coming up soon, with Alabama being their first coming up in just two weeks. At this point, the championship could easily be played between USC and an undefeated SEC team.

    Why? All it takes is for them to beat each other and have two decent teams in crap conferences go undefeated.

    True enough. The biggest obstacle the SEC has to a championship is the SEC :P

    Troy University. If you don't know where that is, don't worry, you're not the only one. Anyway, we play both Ohio State and LSU this year (on the road of course) and while we probably don't have a chance of winning anything it would be so awesome if the Trojans somehow pull it off. Seriously, we'll probably burn the meal hall to the ground or something.

    Edit: Oh, and we're playing Oklahoma State on the road as well. That's gonna be fun.

    No but it is a good setup for one.

    What it really is is 19 years of hardwired Penn State Pride. I would say 21, but since I left for 2 years...

    We may not have the best team always, but dammit our stadium fucking kicks ass and dammit we can fucking yell. I have seen many occasions where the crowd at a PSU game forced a timeout from the other team because they can't hear the play being called. It's always beautiful.
