SB Nation BlogPoll College Football Top 25 Rankings »
Quickly, the reason I kept Alabama at No. 2 ...
Simply put, I think they're better than everyone ranked below them. To me, the standard has always been "Who would win on a neutral field?" In this case, Alabama gets the nod because I'm certain that Boise State, Oklahoma State, and Stanford would come up short on a neutral field. I don't care that Alabama lost to LSU, because that simply means LSU is better. Doesn't mean unbeaten teams that I don't think are as good are automatically better than Alabama.
Elsewhere, a very "meh" weekend. Nothing of real note in the poll.
The Big Ten still stinks.
