Deadspin Is Cleary The Superior Of All Polls

They're not counted in the BCS are they? Who do we see about trying to get that changed?

1. Auburn (1-0) Last week: 1

Pity the souls in the AP poll who knocked the reigning BCS title team out of the rankings entirely, just because the Tigers needed a last-minute scoring flurry to rally past Utah State at home. (Also: Remember this the next time someone complains about someone running up the score—the AP punished the undefeated defending national champions for not humiliating their foe.)

Where the AP drones blame Auburn for struggling to win a game that should have been easy, we praise Auburn for showing the heart of a champion—a champion that hasn't lost a game since November 2009. Till they do lose one, we're going to keep celebrating their grit and resilience.

21. Alabama (1-0) Last week: 20

Beat Kent State, which is not Auburn, 48-7. There's either one touchdown too few on the left side or one too many on the right side for that to be an impressive big-time blowout.
