They are not sure ASU has what it takes to be #1 after after 55-6 loss to USC.

"This game really wasn't as bad as the score looked. It wasn't good, but it wasn't 49-point loss. I'm not saying that means Arkansas State will get out of these rankings any time soon, I'm just saying I'm skeptical that this is a Bottom 25 title contender."

They need to focus, and put their worse foot forward this weekend to move up next week, or at least move ahead of Texas.

Noticed that this poll (which only includes FBS programs people across the country know something about and not a FBS like GaSt), like all the national  made note of the fact that  A-State played better against USC than the score indicated, something obvious to those that watched the game.

Why have they done this?

Probably has something to do with sports betting, which is changing how the national media covers sports.
