Ohio State is No. 1 and Michigan State is No. 2 in The Associated Press college football poll, giving the Big Ten the top two teams in the rankings for the first time since 2006.The Buckeyes received 40 first-place votes after a lackluster victory against Northern Illinois on Saturday. Michigan State has seven first-place votes. The last time the Big Ten held the top two spots in the AP poll was November 2006 when Ohio State and Michigan went into their annual rivalry game Nos. 1 and 2, respectively.No. 3 Mississippi made a big jump from 15after winning at Alabama. The Tide dropped from No. 2 to No. 12. The Rebels received 11 first-place votes.TCU is tied for third with Ole Miss and Baylor is No. 5.Notre Dame is sixth, followed by LSU, Georgia, UCLA and Florida State. The Tigers receive one first-place vote.So much for SEC dominance.
The season ain’t over yet. Let’ see how many SEC teams rank at the end. ________________

Re: Oregon
Oregon isn’t supposed to be too bad and MSU whipped them handily. MSU is real deal.OSU will play no one – and has looked poorly doing it.Florida last chance at win for a while is this week with Tennessee.Then LSU – then Ole Miss. Yikes! I don’t think we are back far enough yet – but might run the table if we had OSUs schedule – even though we would actually still be average at best________________
