Wait, there are coaches that voted for Clemson after that debacle? Or did Tommy vote his own team 21st?

AND WHY THE HELL IS IOWA RANKED ANYTHING?

[JaxHawk06]

Remember they were 12. Very unlikely, no matter who you lose to (especially a Pac-10 team, will you drop more than 13 spots

[qcomdrj]

I'm just not seeing it. If they play up then I will say they deserve that ranking. But there are better teams that aren't ranked right now, that's all I'm saying. This is why I don't like preseason rankings. ND wasn't ranked, and is 2-1 after losing their first game, but beating a top 10 team. Iowa was ranked, and still is after losing their last game, and hasn't beaten a top 10 team. See?

[YbrikTCU]

Good to see the coaches at least gave Texas Tech some respect for creaming us.

[CincyBuck32]

Can't arguw with Ohio State's spot. If they continue to win, they will be in the national championship game. I know its a big if, but I like where they are so far. The offense and the defense have shown flashes of being great. If the young guys can become consistent, this team has the look of '02.

[JaxHawk06]

Yeah, but look how that top 10 team did, they won by 3 against SDSU (I think). It doesn't matter if you lose by 1 or 100 a loss is a loss and that's all that matters
