Week Six Polls and The Weekend in Review

Alabama still owns the polls, while Auburn's misery is the source of much of our pleasure this week.

This week's SB Nation BlogPoll gets a bit more interesting with several teams outside of Alabama earning number one votes. Yes, the Tide are clearly the consensus number one team with 64 top votes, but six other teams split up 23 first place votes with the Florida Gators, interestingly enough, receiving the lion's share of those votes.

And the others receiving votes list is just silly. UAB? San Jose State? C'mon, y'all. I know teams which have won a lot deserve recognition and all, but to say they're on of the top teams in the country is a bit much.

Or, hell, maybe I'm the crazy one. Whatever, on to the poll.
