Others Receiving Votes: Northwestern No. 26; Oregon No. 27.

Of course, two 3-loss SEC teams, Florida and South Carolina, are ranked.

After a bad showing against UNC, Miami remains AP No. 1.

I predict the PO Committee will rank Georgia No. 1.

Of note yesterday. In the last minute of regulation time, the Minnesota kicker and the Indiana kicker both made 60-yard FGs to send the game into OT.

Another close-call win for the Hoosiers with an invigorated USC coming to town on 11/14.

College Football Rankings: AP Poll Top 25 after Week 9 re...

The latest AP Poll Top 25 rankings are here following a solid Week 9 of college football. Things cooled down a bit compared to the chaos of the last two

OK, a couple of thoughts: No. 18 USC 6-2 is ranked behind five 2-loss SEC teams, behind 2-loss Houston, and 2-loss No. 11 Ohio State, which the Trojans defeated 30-18.

5-3 South Carolina No. 23 and 5-3 Florida No. 25 are ranked. 2-loss Northwestern and 2-loss SMU lost competitive games on the road and are not ranked.

Ten SEC teams are ranked. 10! In-conference losses are minimized, and in-conference wins are magnified. Will the PO Committee follow suit?

No. 18 and No. 21 Iowa return to the top 25, which they should have not have left.

Northwestern, with competitive road losses at No. 6 Indiana and No. 27 Oregon, drops out of the Poll in favor of two 3-loss SEC teams? 🤬🤬🤬

Honestly where would you even rank the Ducks? Are they the horrible team just begging to lose to Illinois? Are they the team that lit up USC? Are they the team that made Northwestern look bad? Are they the team that looked bad against Northwestern?

How can a team be ranked higher than a team they lost to?!

Do head-to-head matchups only matter in the playoffs?

Why do we bother to play the games each week?!

Great take, KK.

I was not happy to see 2-loss NW at 26, but happy to see 3-loss OBD at 27. And I was not happy to see 2-loss Ohio State ranked No. 11 and not happy to see 2-loss SC ranked No. 18, but I was happy to see this considering next week's game in Columbus.

Week 10 is loaded with great matchups.

If ten SEC teams are in the committee's top 25, DUCK!

Using the AP Poll, nine SEC teams, 56.25% of the conference, would be in a 24-team PO field; five Big Ten teams.
