We had a huge slate of games in College Football this weekend. None bigger then the Alabama vs Georgia game in the SEC, the LSU/Ole Miss Game, and the Ducks getting a huge with in Happy Valley during a white out game against Penn St. How much should we be trusting the AP poll at this point, and how much weight should it cary for the CFP Poll.
