My thoughts. 

1-Oregon should be ahead of Bama. (AP got it correct)
2-Oklahoma should not be ranked (AP got it correct). 
3-Auburn is ranked entirely too high. If not for some major luck they would have lost to Ole Miss. Auburn should be around 13 or 14, not 9.

Auburn should have lost to Kansas State by two touchdowns. They've been over ranked for quite some time.

They should have also lost to Ole Miss if not for a freak injury to Treadwell at the end of the game too.

Polls, like recruiting stars, are speculation and good for entertainment, but are not worth a lot. What happens on the playing field is what is important. But since everyone doesn't play, I guess it is all we have. Even if everyone played one another, there are a lot of teams that are close to one another, and either could beat the other on any given day.

Wonder when Texas will make it back into the rankings? Sometime next year?

Which is why my totally copyrighted playoff system would be awesome.

But it's copyrighted so you can't see it until my book "Death to the College Football Playoffs" comes out.   :D

 
I think Bama should be ranked behind both Oregon and Baylor. I think Baylor beats Bama by two TDs.

IMO, you could put any team in the top 10 against FSU in the title game, and FSU loses.

Explain to me how Bama isn't ranked BEHIND TCU? Telling me Bama beating the #19 team in overtime is a better win than TCU beating number 7? Ridiculousness...

Agree, I should have added TCU into that mix ahead of Bama, too.

 
Actually agree that Oregon and TCU should be ahead of Bama at this point. Bama has beaten 1 opponent still remaining in the polls at this point (3 loss LSU). They will have a chance to move up in these last weeks with contests against Miss. State and Auburn and actually control their own destiny at this point. What will be interesting is if Baylor wins the Big 12. Based off of resumes, TCU has a much better one at this point but their one loss happens to be the team at the top. Baylor needs to win these last games and convince the pollsters that they are legit against KSU. It is pretty much a guarantee at this point that a one-loss Pac 12 team and the SEC champ (if only 1 loss or less) are in if that is the way it plays out. Florida State controls its own destiny and will be in if they win out. Last spot will be up for grabs between Ohio State or a one-loss Big 12 champ if it all ended today.

 
Baylor is not doing itself any favors, in terms of perception, with this OOC future schedule
