Alabama is the #1 team in the nation. It is official. There is no debate. Until they lose or start looking pathetic winning football games then I have no right to keep them behind OSU. As evidenced yesterday, and for the first time all season long, the Crimson Tide are the superior team.
There was quite a shake up in the polls for me yesterday, with Florida, Stanford and Wisconsin all losing. To replace them, Auburn, Arizona and LSU move into the top ten.
The top seven is pretty fairly ranked in my opinion. Boise State may not be the #4 ranked team in the nation (according to my rankings) but they certainly have two wins that are worth noting...to an extent. Whatever, I don't really know how to justify ranking them that high, nor do I even want to have them there in the first place. It is just something that I am going to do for now until a team below them proves to be vastly superior.
I want to talk about LSU for a moment here, because I haven't felt as if they are top ten worthy since the beginning of the season. As of now they are in my top ten due to the team that they have beaten, however that can all change in a heart beat. I am not sold on the Tigers and need to see that offense prove a lot to me. The defense is good, but not great; all great defenses earn my respect, and they don't have it quite yet from me. Let's see what happens when LSU visits the Gators. A win in the Swamp would justify a few things for me, but let's not get too excited over a team that will certainly not be in the championship race.
