LSU moved up one in the AP and still 10 in the Coaches'. Surprised no one has posted it yet but here's the AP: RK TEAM RECORD PTS PVS 1 Alabama (39) 7-0 1447 2 2 Florida (20) 6-0 1434 1 3 Texas 6-0 1365 3 4 USC 5-1 1213 6 5 Cincinnati 6-0 1163 8 6 Boise State 6-0 1156 5 7 Iowa 7-0 1092 11 8 Miami (FL) 5-1 1056 9 9 LSU 5-1 1014 10 10 TCU 6-0 1001 12 11 Georgia Tech 6-1 861 19 12 Oregon 5-1 849 13 13 Penn State 6-1 753 14 14 Oklahoma State 5-1 690 16 15 Virginia Tech 5-2 684 4 16 Brigham Young 6-1 601 18 17 Houston 5-1 478 23 18 Ohio State 5-2 373 7 19 Utah 5-1 350 24 20 Pittsburgh 6-1 330 NR 21 Texas Tech 5-2 286 NR 22 West Virginia 5-1 205 NR 23 South Carolina 5-2 159 22 24 Kansas 5-1 120 17 25 Oklahoma 3-3 117 20
Look up at the rankings thread... AP should get no mention in this thread because it is a meaningless poll.
Meaningless? Hardly, where you start out has a lot to do with your chances of getting into the NC Game as far as perspective is concerned. At least that's what I hear all the time.
The AP was taken out of the BCS formula years ago. Has nothing to do with anything. The coaches poll, the subject of this thread, is weighted in the BCS.
This is what happens when you have a bye week and two other teams around your ranking play and win. Ever notice until the BCS poll comes out, we're always ranked higher in the coaches then the AP... now that the BCS is out and the AP isn't apart of that... we're ranked higher in the AP then the Coaches... i'd like just a little balance every now and then.
