Actually, Florida remains at #7 and Iowa drops to #10 in the poll that matters
USA Today Poll).
Yet again, Iowa wins impressively and still drops. This means that if any two of the following teams go undefeated and Iowa goes undefeated Iowa will not play for the national championship because these teams will have beaten teams in their own conferences that are ranked ahead of Iowa:
Alabama, Florida, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas.
Alabama I get.
Florida lost perhaps the most dynamic player in CFB history and has a first-year starter at QB and struggled against Miami(OH) and early on against South Florida.
Oklahoma was nearly beaten by non-BCS AQ Utah State at home in week 1, oh, and they didn't go to a BCS game or win one last year.
Texas forgot to show up for the game against Wyoming until the second half and gave up 17 points to Rice. Both non-BCS AQ teams.
Nebraska has beaten up two non-BCS AQ schools. At home. Also did not play in nor win a BCS bowl last year. Also has a first-year starter at QB.
Don't even get me started on Oregon.
Seriously??? 1. I don't understand how Nebraska could be ranked higher than Iowa to start the season, other than by name recognition. 2. Iowa won a BCS bowl game against an opponent that was ranked higher than Iowa going into the game, and returned the majority of the starters from that team and has had both games in hand by the middle of the second quarter.
I could understand moving VT out of the rankings and bumping everyone up a slot, but how do you logically DROP a team like Iowa?
Don't tell me to take it game-by-game either. I'm a fan and not a player and speculation is part of the fun.
