These polls are so strange. Bama got a 1st place vote from Clemson? Ohio State is now 10th? How? If they thought they were 2nd preseason, why would they drop to 10th already? Even if they aren't playing until late October, how do you justify them at 10th or 2nd or 25th at this point? I don't get it. What a WEIRD time to follow college football.
