[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 973388, member: 2426"] How far they should drop and how far they will drop should be similar, but unfortunately they will probably be pretty far off. The mutt's first game against a currently ranked opponent was last weekend, and the stats in that game are roughly equal. They were 8-0 because they played a cupcake schedule. Games 9-10-11 are the ones that will tell us where they actually are. The problem is that pollsters decided long before the season started that the mutts are a dominant team again, and going 8-0 has enforced that idea with the public and pollsters. The way polls work, and have always worked is that a decision is made pre-season then the teams at the top have to prove that they don't deserve to be there. A team that starts unranked and proves on the field that they are very good can't jump over the top pre-season teams until the pre-season favorites actually lose. The mutts are a good team, but I don't think there are any teams this year that are far dominant above and beyond others. It would be a horrible year for a BCS championship ranking. [/QUOTE]
