College Football Rankings, Week 8: AP And Coaches Polls Selling Auburn And LSU Short

The first two batches of college football polls are out, and the SEC is getting overlooked here. LSU and Auburn have the best resumes of any two teams in the nation. Their matchup next week should determine the nation's No. 1 team, but it won't because of the media's west coast bias. Wait, what?

Three southern teams make the top ten, with Florida State, South Carolina, Arkansas, Virginia Tech (?!?), Mississippi State, and Miami appearing later.

The first BCS rankings come out tonight. Stay tuned.
