Pump out those headlines SEC so no one notices Mizzou losing to Indiana (who lost to BGSU) and SCar escaping powerhouse Vandy.

Duke is the defending division champ. They are undefeated. Blown out each opponent. And NOT in top 25. That's downright disrespectful.

Danny Kanell @dannykanell · Sep 21

BYU has faced 2 of exact same Power 5 opponents as UCLA (UVA/Texas) and has beaten both more impressively. Ranked 9 spots behind #Dispectful

Danny Kanell @dannykanell · Sep 21

So much of top 25 ranking is based on perception/reputation/conference affiliation and not on merit. It's laughable.

Danny Kanell @dannykanell · Sep 21

There is zero doubt if Duke had an SEC logo with exact same schedule and wins thus far they would be ranked top 10 or top 5.

Since the point last year when Kliff Kingsbeury had Texas Tech 7-0 and ranked #10 getting many to rave about how fast he turned the program around and pointing to him as what can happen if you get a new coach, Texas Tech is 3-7 with two of those wins over Central Arkansas and UTEP and the last six losses are by an average of 21 points.

On the Duke comment...you have to look no further than the Mississippi schools every year for that truth. Ole Miss and Mississippi State are usually absolute crap, but get through their first three non-conference powderpuffs and find themselves ranked in the teens or better.

It's early. They haven't played anyone, and LSU might be the worst team in the SEC west. It'll all shake out, whether or not you believe in the SEC media conspiracy.

This is why I love the idea of the playoff committee not coming out with rankings until late October. It will show a greater body of work to prove why one team is ranked above another.

Yep. Flavor of the week nothing more. Nascar version of Brady Hoke.

This is an excellent point. You can't stop the media and coaches from voting, but the "official" ranking waiting til October is good.
