I think Washington should be in. Simply because they are 8-0… don't think TAMU is better than Ohio state or Louisville

. @kirbyhocutt said there was a lot of discussion about Clemson and Michigan, but in end Clemson's 3 wins vs. Aub, FSU and Lou had edge

As Coach Swinney has said, the only poll that matters is the final one.

Two SEC teams in the top four … but don't forget, Washington hasn't won a league title yet. Will that change their minds?
