This is from USA Today......
Sept. 21

Rank Team (first-place votes) Record Points Last Week
1. Oklahoma (51) 4-0 1,557 1
2. Miami (Fla.) (6) 4-0 1,503 2

6. Florida State 4-0 1,251 9
7. LSU 4-0 1,206 10
8. Tennessee 3-0 1,139 12
9. Iowa 4-0 964 14
10. Michigan 3-1 870 5

23. Missouri 4-0 164 NR
24. Arizona State 2-1 157 16
25. Florida 2-2 133 17

Explain this to me....

Why is Texas ranked above Arkansas?
Why is Michigan above Oregon?
Why is Florida even in the top 25?
Why did Michigan only drop 5 places and K-State drop 10 places?
How can someone honestly give Ohio State first place votes?

I am just posing some questions that I think show that the polls really are not that accurate. What are your thoughts and comments?
