Texas Tech and Alabama sure aren’t getting the love, are they? And LSU, which seemed underrated by Vegas earlier in the season, now seems to be locked into the #12 slot no matter how many interceptions Jarrett Lee may throw. They like their Gamecocks, too.
Alabama is starting to get a “borrowed time” stench about them. You look at UF/LSU, UGA/LSU, Bama/LSU, and one of these things is not like the others…

Hey D.N. Nation. Look at UF/UM and Bama/UM.
Like you said one of those is not like the other.

And one more thing. Penn State losses to Iowa and is still ranked ahead of Alabama. This poll is a freaking joke.
