Memo to AP, Harris and USA Today voters: excuse me? Florida escapes two weeks in a row with help from the officials and stays No.1? Alabama almost loses to a team UCLA (0-4 in the Pac-10) defeated and stays No.2. And Texas finally plays like No. 1 but stays at No. 3? You should all have your medical marijuana cards revoked.
Rankman loves the SEC as much as anyone (cough), but this blatant display of affection is tough to take (Did that come out the way you asked for it, Mack?”)
