Mizzou drops 12 places for losing to a ranked team, while Bama drops 6 spots for being dominated by, and losing to, an UNRANKED team in the AP Poll.

.......scUM is the only ranked 2-loss team (who easily could have 3-losses without the aid of the Referines) in the AP.... The AP Poll is such a joke - a severely biased piece of media-hack trash.

There's just something to be said for a name and tradition.

Who knew Vandy has beaten the Tide so many times over the years, although they hadn't since 1984?

Perhaps we've seen a potential candidate for Franklin's replacement when he accepts the Florida job?

Cheer up everybody. Why is everyone so cynical and negative? This is the best time of the year!

Michigan has a loss to Texas which most voters flat out ignore
Common opponents mean nothing or you could never rank teams
Would Michigan be expected to beat Wazzu--yes--it's not hard to comprehend why they're ranked higher
Wazzu just lost by 21 to Boise State after needing 2 OTs to beat San Jose State--of course they aren't ranked. Big picture. You can't cherry pick "how'd they do against Washington" and rank them lol

But team is currently better than all but 3 or 4 depending on which poll you prefer
That doesn't alter a 2 loss Big Ten defending national champion being rated higher than Wazzu isn't a complicated thing to figure out.
