I honestly cannot remember; but, I'm almost certain that it's occurred in the last couple of years.

No. No offense to USC, but the media is so in love with them no way they move from #1 unless they lose. And, maybe they shouldn't...if you are #1, go undefeated, why should you go down? Because the preseason rankings are bullshit. If you are the preseason #1, why shouldn't you get jumped if another team looks better.

I think it'd take a lot for people to see USC as bullshit, no?

Has anyone thought what it would be like if VT goes into Death Valley and wins?

I used to think differently b/c I enjoyed the preseason polls, magazines, and arguments it gave, but I think for the best of the game polls should be put off into the first 4th of the season. Only makes sense.
OOC games would be MUCH better when everyone is forced to start on a hypothetical even playing field. IE: playing nobody gets you ranked as such. The problem is that the same teams will still get the benefit of the doubt no matter WHEN you start polls. The traditional heavyweights will be ranked higher. I still think it gives a better guage. I think a lot though. Like defending champ Florida should be #1 until otherwise knocked off. I don't care how many starters they have to replace.
I believe w/in the next 10 years though, a push for this to happen will begin.

I say it won;t happen BUT I could see LSU garnering a few more points, maybe even an additional #1 vote or two and tightening the gap by doing so but an actual leap frog, don't see it happening

Won't happen. It will just prove what everyone thought last week. VT is not a very good football team. Geaux

I don't think everyone thought VT wasn't a good football team last week. Harsh, ya think? I think their offense is pedestrian and Glennon needs a good kick in the cooter, but that doesn't mean they're a shitty team.

Hi geaux4it......... While I am realistic about VT's chance of winning this game, there is still always a chance. And VT is a good football team. That is an indisputable fact.

Has anyone thought what it would be like if VT goes into Death Valley and wins? Sure I have - VT moves up in the rankings and LSU goes down - The good news is that if it happens in week two - you can overcome -
