Penn State should be ranked #2 IMO. That team has just dominated there opponents this year.

USC in the top 5 is a joke as always.
a 1 loss UGA team losing to a top 5 Bama team is barely in the top 10.
and FLA is ahead of UGA after losing to Ole Miss

these polls are popularity contest and nothing more.
