There is some rational behind it.

1. I think Florida is gonna kick the every livin' ever lovin' shit out of the ol' Tide.
2. I have been more impressed by UF's play of late. Yeah, they have one loss, but I think they are the second best team in the country and the best team in the SEC right now.
Alabama has won, but not so convincingly.
Auburn, UGA and LSU aren't so tough. LSU's QB being its fatal flaw. and UGA, being, .. well UGA. Auburn ... 'Bama has struggled, see UK as well.
Top to bottom, inside and out I think the Gators are the superior team right now.

i disagree with your rationale for no. 1 ... i don't believe you can leap a team because you think it will beat the undefeated team to a pulp. that's not a reason to shake things up.

right now, alabama, from the same conference, is undefeated and didn't lose at home to a 4-loss team.

Agree. You have to base it on results and what HAS happened on the field. Not what you think will happen.

But ultimately, including now, I beleive UF to be the better team.
I jumped TT up after they won the last two weeks? That was justified just because they were also unbeaten?
So what, UF lost a game - a hiccup. They lost it early enough in the season - another flaw of the system - to recover and make a charge a No. 1.
They are playing really, really well.
If TT loses I f have no problem giving the Gators a No. 1 vote.

How is Texas ranked below Florida? Both losses came in the final seconds but Texas' was on the road against a Top 2 team. Can someone explain that one to me?

I know Florida is playing really, really well, but Texas ain't exactly stinking it up.

If you think a team is the best team in the country, you vote them No. 1. Period. Full stop.

If the NFL lived and died with a Top 25 poll, would you vote the Titans ahead of the Giants right now?

so then, if florida's loss is a hiccup, you'd agree usc's road loss is just a hiccup, as they have devastated people since then, too.

(i think i knoow what your response will be).

I agree. But I think UF is better the USC.

If we are bound to rank unbeaten teams over one-loss teams, somebody better start showing Utah, Boise State and Ball State some love.
