You would think the ESPN scoreboard would have some logic. If it’s truncated I’d assume it was be based on the polls and top 10 games. Yet they they cherry picked all SEC and two ACC games. Not a BIG game listed.
My guess:
Rank Team (Last week)
Pretty big fall for South Carolina and Clemson, but I don’t know how you keep them in the top 25 after the beginning of the seasons they’ve had.

I think the Illini will be either 8 or 9. The Illini will pass ND, but there is a chance A&M passes us with their road win in South Bend. Either way, we will be top 10 going to Bloomington!
A&M isn’t going to pass us since we won by 5+ TD’s. If it was closer than there may have been a chance.

Not saying they will, but early season polls tend to be highly volatile. I feel fairly confident Illini will be 8, but I would not be totally surprised if they remain 9.

No, but FSU did.
They really took Bye Week to the woodshed yesterday.
Wow.... FSU, on a bye week, jumps 3 spots...

FSU does have that big win vs East Texas A&M, which while a real school sounds like a directional school you would make up as a joke.
Not that the voters actually watch the games, but the Illini have looked unimpressive in the first halves of the past two games. The real tests come in the next two games.
Winless Notre Dame staying in the rankings over a number of decent 3-0 squads is ridiculous.

Yeah, when does losing count? Ranked 21st in coaches, almost in the top 20, without a win yet.

Brand Recognition over Objectivity
With the AP writers, it's ALWAYS about the Blue Bloods. The historically good 'Brands'... Changing perceptions of these guys takes generations, not just a few games over a couple of seasons...

The argument which I completely disagree with will be Alabama has looked great in the 2 weeks since; therefore the win against Alabama is looking even better…
We just gotta handle the next 2 weeks and we will be in a great spot - our path is pretty simple
Duke losing to Tulane took a little luster off that win...
