I don't get rankings. Last week, Northwestern was unranked in the AP and Coach's poll, but then during the game I saw everyone said they were ranked 21 by the Committee. So the Committee rankings, which don't get put out until week 9, all of a sudden supersede all of the the other polls and Northwestern was a "ranked team?"

None of the rankings from any poll matter except what the committee decides. The first 8 weeks or whatever are just to build up hype and give people poo poo to argue about

The committee ranking is the only one that matters, so yes.

It was the same thing when the BCS rankings first came out mid-season.

It's amazing how bald-face the copying of the CFP poll the coaches poll is.

The continued high rank of Stanford is hilarious. Also love how everyone thinks TCU was overrated so we drop them a lot but the team that beat this overrated team jumps 5 spots.

Yes. Same thing happened last year. The sports media considers (rightfully, I think) the committee's rankings to be more important than the AP poll since the committee's rankings actually matter for playoff placement.

So who do you guys think will be #4 on Tuesday? One of the ESPN "experts" thinks it will be Oklahoma State but I'm not convinced the committee will jump someone 10 spots.

I doubt they'll be in the top 4 yet, but at least theoretically they wouldn't be jumping 10 spots since the committee claims they start fresh with each ranking.

...and then held on to win by only 3 points at home against a mediocre Cincinnati team. Performances fluctuate from week to week due to injury, motivation, etc. Look at Houston's powder puff schedule and you'll understand why the Vanderbilt game was one they probably had circled on their calendar. I think Houston's a good team but you shouldn't make too much out of one game, especially when it's Vanderbilt.

Cinci is better than their record suggests. Their losses are to Houston, BYU, Memphis and Temple, and they beat Miami (FL) as well.

Not overly impressed but it's not all on him, the defense seems to suffer from the offense when they shut it down and try to run out the clock after halftime. The front 7 has played well early before fading terribly as the game goes on, which is more of a depth issue, but the secondary hasn't been nearly good enough and that appears to me to be because of scheme. He definitely doesn't bring anything to the table that Chavis didn't, but I need to watch last night's game again to really see what went wrong on that side of the ball.

Baylor or something I guess?

I would like to see the committee continue trolling Baylor by putting Oklahoma State at #4.

I mean, ideally Iowa would be #4, but that's not going to happen.

Notre Dame will probably end up at 4 this week. Their resume is starting to look better and better each week. They are Navy and Temple's only loss, Pitt has only lost to undefeated or one-loss teams, and USC is still considered a quality win by many. At this point in time, I don't think Baylor has a better resume than Notre Dame, but that could all change in the upcoming weeks.

I could live a hundred lifetimes and never, ever understand why Les Miles was so loyal to starting Jordan Jefferson. But you're right, with the sole exception of Mettenberger and all the talent those two years, I never thought about the 2008 pick-six madness as such a turning point.

And you're right about next year. Pretty much the entire LSU offense will be back next year, yet I really don't see a reason to be overly optimistic unless Miles decides to ride off into the sunset and a new staff comes in and shakes it up. Otherwise, we already know it's going to be 3-yards and a cloud of dust, pound the rock, etc... as you described.

Also, what are your thoughts on Kevin Steele as defensive coordinator so far?

The only thing I can figure is that Miles is determined to do things his way and he decided that Jefferson was his way to victory so he had to stick with it. I thought Jefferson looked alright until he got the majority of the coaching focus. You would think it would raise some flags that he got worse the more coaching he got, but here we are.

As for Steele, for whatever reason Les has been hiring guys who are more recruiters than coaches. Coach O is really the only guy they have brought on that can do both.

And I know it seems silly to hear LSU fans complain about Miles considering his record, but I think his stubbornness has cost them a fair amount of game and has probably tanked a bunch of careers along the way.

Better hope for a Notre Dame loss in that scenario. In that situation, Oklahoma and Notre Dame would both have 1 loss, with Notre Dame's loss to Clemson and Oklahoma's loss to Texas, who Notre Dame killed.
