SB Nation BlogPoll College Football Top 25 Rankings "
Keeping West Virginia relatively high will draw scrutiny, but it's not exactly fair to penalize them for being crushed by a top five team. For all we know, LSU would similarly steamroll most of the ranked teams. FSU is tougher...no one quite knows how good Clemson is. FSU didn't have E.J. Manuel last week, but Manuel still hasn't really proven himself either. PSU went from unranked to #13 with the Temple win suddenly looking far more impressive. Illinois didn't look so hot over the weekend, but for the time being they still have a win over Arizona State. Does anything else seem that off?
