77 votes behind West Virginia in the Coaches so a little ways off according to the coaches. Only 24 votes behind TCU in the AP. At this point we won't make a big move until we get to Auburn.
Only moves up over the next few weeks will come from losses in front of us.

I was hoping we'd make a big jump after beating FL, but it looks like you're correct and FL won't help us. We're gonna have to wait until we beat AU now...

16th is too low.
We are way better than that

I don't give a 17 till we play AU. people seem to forget we went from unranked to a 5 week no 1 run by winning big games. As of now, polls and national public perception mean absolute dick.

It’s still a month and half before the real rankings come out but Clemson and Oklahoma have already clinched two of the four spots.

What do you think about the argument for shitcanning polls til October? I understand the arguments against it, but kinda lean towards not having them til later, because outside of that 3 game stretch in '14 we had its kinda hard to move up quickly when they start you out so low. With preseason rankings laying your foundation for future rankings if you don't play great teams early you get screwed. I did hear them advocating for moving ATM up for playing Clemson close, but most teams wouldn't benefit from it if they're ranked too low to begin with, and they may not have idk.

Which is absurd & the number one reason we need an expanded playoff

I'm not so certain. Clemson will not play a ranked team this year. Right now, Oklahoma may play 2 (TCU and WVA). If some crazy stuff happens like last year in the SEC - you could have an undefeated SEC Champ and 2 1 loss SEC teams make the playoffs due to strength of schedule.

You are speaking too much logic here. Too much $ at stake for the pre-season mags and T.V. to go with this. Obviously good for ED bitch clicks as well.

After that A&M game last night, I would hate to see Clemson go undefeated while not playing a ranked team all year. Not their fault Fl State & Miami suck this year though. UNC blows ass too it would appear. The ACC looks to be a damned joke this year.

the North Avenue Trade School got blown up by USF, and UVA embarrassed by Indiana. Clemson and VT are the only quality teams in that league. I look for VT to knock Notre Dame out on 10/6 then knock Clemson out in the ACC title game.

Well ... Peter Burns has an SEC bias. Can't argue with Gibson just yet. Doesn't matter now tho. Next few weeks will tell. I actually prefer to be underhyped ... it's a competitive advantage.

Reputation quote says all you need to know about bullshit artists who pretend to know what they're talking about. We finished off last year using our back up QB getting his first start defeating Heisman dude. We defied the spread and the experts yesterday on the road where it's supposed to be next to impossible to win and those facts have dick to do with reputation.

I'm Saban's alter ego. ALways gotta get better. Nuthin ever good enough till we win Natty. Before that it's all rat poison.
Besides needing to get better on the field, we gotta get our network better and make sure refs are well compensated too.
