I have always paid more attention to the AP poll but recently I have noticed that more people are going by the USA Today Poll. The AP poll has LSU as number 1 and the USA poll has USC still at number 1. So I know that ESPN and Yahoo go by the AP poll but CBS and ABC use the USA today poll.
so when you watch college football on ESPN they are using a differnt ranking structure than when you watch football on ABC or CBS.
So which one is the most accurate? Who is number 1?

By the way, I don't agre with the polling anyway. The way that they choose who should be what is completely biased. All the top 10 teams that lost yesterday where replaced based completely on bias. 7 Texas went to 19 while many other teams with the exception of west virginia only lost about 5 places. They all lost to unranked teams but they remain in the top ten while other teams that lose to someone ranked get completely taken out of the poll.

Note: By the way (I'm talking about the people who have already said USC), the question was not who YOU think is the best, but which poll is more accurate. So by saying, "USC is the best! Number 1 for 5 weeks!" is not a viable answer to this question and you prove that you can't read. So I hope you are not representing USC on their education stats.

Thanks guys you are really helping a lot! I always enjoy it when I ask a question and no one pays any attention what-so-ever to what is really being asked. Thanks if I could vote you would all get negatives.

Neither poll is actually correct. The only one that matters is the BCS rankings and they are not out yet. But I do believe that more weight is given to the AP poll over the USA poll, which is why ESPN uses the AP UNTIL the BCS comes out.
And in my opinion they finally got it correct by placing LSU in the number 1 spot.

LSU is the better team, and deserves the #1 spot. They could beat USC, and Cal will beat the Trojans in November. If LSU were to lose, Cal would rightfully move into first posistion. Their explosive offense could beat any BCS team, but their just one meltdown away from blowing it all.

Notre Dame...just kidding...USC is #1 right now but I feel they will lose a game either to Cal or Oregon. LSU is a really great team and I have them playing in the bowl game already. But yes USC is #1.
