We are going to do our best to rank what we see as the top 20 teams out there right now. There is sure to be plenty of debate, which is what we want (and expect) between college football fans. We tried to recognize teams that have surprised us and not put too much weight on national reputation. We also won't be afraid to make drastic moves week to week, to reflect what's really happening on the field.
Additionally, a lot has been said about the top ranked team in our poles, the Florida Gators, after their less than impressive win over Tennessee. While I agree there are some potential vulnerabilities on offense, take a second to remember that Jeff Demps and Aaron Hernandez were isolated with flu symptoms all week and Demps played with a 101 fever, receiver Deonte Thompson didn't play because of a hamstring injury and receiver Riley Cooper had a pinched nerve. Did Florida make mistakes, sure. Does this game mean they are not the number one team...only if you are an Alabama fan. I think we need to see a few more games to determine if Florida is the team we thought, or if the offensive woes will ruin their bid for a third national championship in four years.
With that, here are our Top 20 lists.

Mr. Robinson,
I'm not sure I agree with your ranking of Ole Miss (as well as the national polls' ranking). They haven't played anyone yet; hell, they haven't even played three games yet. While I'm not saying they don't have potential, and while they did score a lot of points in the two games they did play, I think it will be interesting to see how long they're in the Top 10 once their SEC schedule starts. I think Mr. Roof's ranking of #9 is more reasonable.
Dont forget Spikes didnt play the second half due to tendinitis in his achilles.
Also, Clemson sucks. Just kidding, Trip.
