My full poll is after the jump, it's especially messy this week. Please leave your opinions, thoughts and suggestions in the comments and I'll adjust as necessary.
- Alabama - How far should they drop? As of this morning, I can't get the memory of that struggling offense and all those special teams gaffes out of my head. At some point I need to remember they mauled Arkansas and won at State College. Also, no team has a better loss.
- Arkansas - South Carolina has been overvalued all season, but that was a nice win for the Pigs. They have the best quarterback in the SEC and a nice resume too.
- The Big Ten - Without a dominant team contending for a national championship the Big Ten looks a lot like the ACC. On the right day anyone can, and will, beat anyone else. It's going to be all sorts of fun to see who comes out on top.
- Kansas State - They started 7-0, they'll finish 1-4.

Bama should be 4
I understand that Bama's offense looked terrible last night, but it was against the best defense in college football. They have to be at worst the best one-loss team in the country. I would put them above Boise, because beating Arkansas and winning at Penn State are a lot better than beating Georgia and Air Force. Everything else looks good. I might put Oregon above Arkansas, but next week will show if that is true. Maybe USC above Penn State because of the Stanford game.
I actually like the list
If you can't score a touchdown at home you don't deserve to be in the top five. Period. Every team LSU has played thus far this season has scored at least one touchdown on them with the exceptions of Mississipi State and Northwestern State. With all the hype that was surrounding Trent Richardson, they should have at least been able to manage to get into the endzone once. In my opinion the game was absolutely terrible on the offensive side of the ball, and I dont care if you can hold every team into the country to under 10 points, if you cant put up more than that you aren't one o the best in the country. Alabama just falls into the Same catagory as Oregon at this point, where special teams and offensive deficiency costed the team the ball game, irregardless of the final score.
Other than that, I like the list. Although I would move GT above Wisconsin and Cincinnati, due to the fact that Georgia tech has proven that when they show up, they can play some football against quality teams.
OK
I got an overwhelming response to push Alabama up, as high as second, I moved them to fourth.
