That is what I do not get about these AP polls. Notre Dame got exposed for what they were last night. They were over ranked and over matched.

I saw that too....what a crock! There are 6 SEC teams (Bama, LSU, A&M, Florida, South Carolina, Georgia) that would have gone undefeated as well if they played Notre Dame's schedule, and probably Ohio State's as well! I guess last night lesson in soft schedules, being overrated and beating someone like a red-headed step child didn't sink in deep enough!

Northern writers are a majority in the AP voting. And they are heavily biased in favor of many teams in their region. Before the BCS poll started in 98, it was VERY frustrating to see teams such as Notre Dame, Michigan, OH State, and Penn St being pushed up the polls (and into better bowl games) by the AP voters.

I guess no one noticed the DORES got into the rankings at 23rd! Go DORES!! Can't wait to see if they can do anything next year.

I would venture to say that Stanford and MAYBE FL State would be the only 2 on that list that ND might could beat.

I agree with both of you.

I did.
And where were the Vols???? Sucking the sweat out of the jocks of Bama after the game I guess.

The polls still have too much weight in the BCS system; until they change that, don't expect the polls or the BCS to reflect reality.
Personally, I'd rate Oregon and A&M both over Alabama.

florida shouldnt be there either as they we exposed as a weak sec team by the big east Lee Corso....... Not so fast.....  The Gators beat 3 of those teams in the the top 10...... Texas A&M, S.C., & FL St. No other team did that in the top 10..... FL didn't show up to play in the bowl game and they got spanked.... 
Corso looked like an idiot dressed up in the green suit, then again him picking the Irish to win was idiotic in its self
