Just to show you how fucked up some of the voting can be in these polls, one person voted Florida #1, over Bama, PSU, and TTU. Does any reasonable person think TCU would be favored in a matchup with Ohio State, Mizzou, Georgia, or LSU? Louisville somehow got 8 points (good for 33rd most), despite losing to Syracuse.

More shenanigans: Oklahoma received a first place vote. Oklahoma is also 3 higher than the one team that beat them, Texas. Texas lost an extremely close road game to what is now the 3rd best team in the country, yet they are below USC, who lost to an unranked team. Texas also beat the #4, #8, and #13 teams. So why are they behind USC? Because USC lost a few weeks ago, Texas lost last night. Plain and simple.
