Kind of crazy that Bama's defense is so good it's worth 62 first place votes by itself. Because the offense doesn't deserve any.

If Shane Buechele keeps this shit up, he's gonna sneak into you-know-what territory. Going back to the spring game now (where he lead 2nd string offense against 1st string defense, in a game that was closed out after 1 1/2 quarters because of rain), he's averaging 270 yards passing and 50 yards rushing a game now, and completing 76% of his passes. In real game situation, those totals only dip a little, ~250 yards passing, ~40 yards rushing, ~72% completion percentages. He's thrown 8 times as many TDs as ints.

San Diego State has the second longest winning streak in all of college football. So there's that, or something.
Ain't no shame in that loss. Although with all the SDSU penalties and all the missed opportunities for the Bears the game was Cal's to win.

AP seems to be doing a better job of punishing teams that underperform. Not sure why Michigan state is #8 after a lackluster win against Furman

Derrick Henry stuffed on third and 1, bet that didn't happen to him much at Bama.

Look at all of those mediocre back-end SEC teams being propped up by Alabama. B)

Happens every year. Then, even when Bama pounds them, the pollsters refuse to punish them despite losses to mid-majors, each other, P5, and G5 teams. Just ridiculous. Bama is obviously head and shoulders above the rest of the SEC it isn't even funny.
There aren't going to be many teams that can score 20+ on that defense.

If not for the turnover and subsequent garbage time short field TD, we could say Bama's defense alone had outscored its opponents.

Only 1 SEC team in the top 14? Associated Press is Liberal left wing media

Bayless and Pawl must be shitting themselves.
Shitting themselves at the massive ratings they'll get out of it, maybe.
Probably for the same reason Clemson dropped. They struggled against really weak competition.

Oklahoma opening at 1 point favorite over Ohio State

Houston only a TD favorite over Cinnci.
Michigan almost a 3 TD favorite over Colorado.
Oregon only a 1 point favorite over Nebraska!
UCLA only a 1 point favorite over BYU. (Can't trust the line on this game though, because its a team from SoCal and a team from Utah)
Texas by 4 over Cal seems insanely low.
OU gonna get smoked

Irish by 6.
I dont know we have seen this happen to OU before where they lose early then crush everyone until their big bowl game and lay an egg.
But I bet they lose as well. Big 12 is sucking this year hard.

Alabama has more wins at AT&T stadium since the start of the 2015 season than the Dallas Cowboys do.

GO BLUE.
@ Oklahoma right? That'll be a great game. If OSU starts off slowly again, it could be more interesting than it should be.
This fact was going around last year, and it's crazy how it's still the case now.
I was pretty close, LOU was 1 spot off, and I overestimated the Tennesee hype
