Has Florida State even played a Top Ten team this year? How do they stay plugged in at #2?

either MSU or Ole Miss would demolish FSU in a boat race. the Ole Miss defense will decide their ultimate fate this season; MSU keeps rolling as long as Dak stays healthy.

LSU and Auburn are Ole Miss's biggest challenges until the Egg Bowl; MSU has to travel to bammer. Either one could fall in a trap game.

But really, do they have to ring those cowbells during the other teams plays? Dont they know that all that clang clang clang can seriously damage someone's hearing?
Where is OSHA on that one?

Fla St will drop rapidly when they lose their QB to the pending Gang Rape charge that is being investigated by the Tallahassee US Attorney ... as part of his investigation of the Tallahassee PD and the University campus police for covering up the rape charge ...

give it up. she did.

The reason that they ring the cow bell while the other team has the ball is to disrupt them. They are trying to gain a competitive advantage

Thanks Einstein at 6:44. You are clearly Mensa level. DUH.

With all due respect to both our teams, FSU is the reigning champ and they have won 22 straight games. Even though we have some impressive wins, until FSU loses they should be number one. If Notre Dame wins next week, then State or Ole Miss should move up. I believe everyone thought Auburn was going to beat them last year. Didn't work out so well did it?

With no respect offered 8:34 PM FSU would struggle to be a .500 team in the SEC. Just sayin'. You're clueless.

It's a violation to ring during play and there's very little of it. Quit bitching. However, the same Dak shows up every Saturday. If the wrong Bo shows up, it's lights out on Hugh's parade.

With all due respect 8:34, they didn't inherit the position just from last year and if they get the votes at the beginning of the year, they have to preform to keep it. Beating patsy opponents with mediocre performances isn't the way to get the votes to maintain a position. FSU hasn't played a top ten team. MSU has defeated three ranked #6 or higher over the past three weeks. OM has defeated the #1 team and the #14 (A&M) who would have been ranked in the top five if they hadn't lost to State the week before.

No - you don't get to keep a position until you lose. There is much more involved than the final scores. But thanks for playing.

Shut up being jealous of our cowbells! We are not in an identity crisis like Rebels, Bears or sharks.... Justvsayin!

Ok, then who had Auburn beaten this year to warrant a number 2 ranking before State? A clearly over hyped LSU? 0 -3 SEC Arkansas? I guess they didn't inherit any goodwill from last year either? By your logic clearly Baylor should be number one if you could look past your maroon tinted sunglasses and cowbell addled brain.

And, when Bama beats A&M and Ole Miss beats LSU both will be unranked. So, did State beat two top ten teams or two of the most overrated teams in SEC west? How did either of those teams get such a high rating so early if not for consideration of their body of work last year? Thanks for playing, I understand you are in uncharted waters having never been ranked so high.

blah blah blah MSU is still #1 in spite of the above blah blah blah...who's yo daddy? bawhahahahahaha!

Oh dear! I knew the mutual admiration would end the minute the poll came out!

Both teams are great and I'm hoping it's the Egg Bowl that settles which is best!

Agree 7:11. This is really, REALLY cool. I am a State guy, but hope the Rebels win out, we do the same, and one versus two in the Egg Bowl. HUGE!!

Yeah, 7:41 am and I'd love for Mississippians to seize this opportunity to show the rest of the country that we can be classy!

Shame on any Mississippian who has not enjoyed the magic of the last two saturdays for BOTH our teams.

Hey 9:56 why don't you learn the origin of the Landshark, THEN you can talk. Clearly you have no clue.

And don't forget the only way to go once you reach the top is DOWN.

Hotty Damn Toddy.

Shame on any Mississippian who thinks they need to shame Mississippians.

Im just wondering when Ole Miss fans started thinking the Egg Bowl mattered? The last few years, all you heard was Ole Miss fans stating that LSU was thier "real rival". Funny how things change.

8:28 for God's sake calm down. his is a great thing for both schools. If y'all drub TN this w/e, and FSU loses, or it is close, UM will be two and maybe one. If we both win out, the numbers the evening of the Egg bowl will be irrelevant, as who is number one will be decided on the field. Now THAT is cool.

All you kumbaya's in here seem to be overlooking when Papelbon stated he would have to be 6 feet under to pick Ole Miss for anything the crowd went nuts, and how the State crowd booed when they started to pick the Ole Miss A&M game. Seriously, get real. Guess you couldn't really hear since the cowbells ruined Game Day.

"Cobell's ruined Game Day"...HA!

Comment nomination for moral victory of the season?

Well, Kingfish said the other day he congratulated Ole Miss when they beat the number one team and when State beats the number one team he will congratulate them. How is that gonna work out now, Kingfish?

Point 10:37?? Stay classy.

Both teams playing great. Probably impossible to pull for each other since doing well helps recruiting and seeing the other fail helps recruiting. Still, congrats to both for making Mississippi proud.

I am convinced that those cowbells will harm young children's hearing. I would not take a youngster to a game without hearing protection.

@252- The volume is nothing worse than standing in the midst of a mob of fans screaming at the top of their lungs for 3 hours....and yes, you shouldn't attend any game or rock concert without adequate hearing protection.

There a reason Drew Bree's kept his toddler in hearing protection after the saints won the Super Bowl.....

These weekly polls mean nothing this year.
The post season playoffs will decide the top team.

Origins of "the Landshark"? Well that would be the Miami Dolphins, who were doing it the season before Ole Miss originated it. Just like everything they copy from other schools and 'press release' it as their own.

Before you start talking about how LSU, Auburn, A&M, etc. are not really that good and "what did ____ do to get ranked so high?" consider this: All of the losses suffered by SEC West teams came from other SEC West teams. Every single team in the SEC West (even Arkansas) is undefeated outside of the SEC West.

Also, ND is going to beat FSU and the biggest water cooler argument about football, nationwide, is going to be "Who's the real number one team in the nation? MSU or Ole Miss?"

I just hope the apocalypse doesn't start until after the Egg Bowl.

Bulldogs (alone) on cover of SI again this issue.
