Okay you sound like you're just trolling the board and are biased but I'll answer legitimately.
LSU has been more impressive and may be better, but most writers (in the AP Poll) either don't watch football games and just vote on whether a team won or lost, or don't have guts to move teams down that win. A better indicator of this is Wisconsin. They are 3-0 with 3 close wins against 3 mediocre to subpar teams. Had they played that way against a decent schedule theyd be 1-2 right now, yet they are in the top 10. Why, because they started off high. If the first poll didn't come out til now, theyd be probably 20.
Now they very easily could turn it around run the table and it won't matter; but thats beside the point, the point is in the early part of the season more writers need to be flezible with the polls.
I won't even touch the coaches poll cause thats just a foolish antiquated idea. Mostly its GA's who vote, head coaches are busy scouting opponents and watching their own game film to watch, judge, and place well informed votes in a poll

In my opinion Florida should be #1. They finished last season #1, and they havent lost, so why should the top ranking be taken from them? In my opinion the national champion from the year before should be #1 coming into the next year regardless of the players they lost. Let them lose it, dont take it from them.
By the way...LSU is better than USC. USC is just the golden boy of the country.

if LSU is clearly the better team, then the sportwriters in the AP poll and the coaches who vote would have put LSU as #1. some of them did, but since the majority of the pollsters think USC is #1, then LSU is clearly NOT the better team.

Im happy LSU not ranked number ONE so that when they meet up LSU would be the underdog and show them who really is #1.

Time...just give it time. As the season progresses LSU will gain the #1 spot because USC will lose. Then we will have to hear about how tough their schedule is. Wah!!!!!

False premise, as LSU is not clearly the better team.
