After the Saturday that was, we knew that there was going to be a significant shakeup in the SEC. That much appeared obvious.

That’s a given when unranked SEC teams upset top-25 teams. The question was how big of a shakeup it was going to be. It was pretty significant, but in my opinion, it wasn’t as significant as it should’ve been.

Here are my three takeaway points from this week’s poll:

1. Vanderbilt got hosed

Yes, the Commodores absolutely should’ve earned a spot in the top 25. After they beat No. 18 Kansas State, I would’ve had them in instead of the likes of Florida, Louisville, LSU and Utah. After all, the Commodores beat a ranked foe, they have a win in a true road game, and most importantly, they’re 3-0.

The Commodores would’ve passed all the blind résumé tests. You’re crazy if you don’t think that brand recognizability matters in the AP poll. That would explain why a team like Notre Dame (coming off a four-win season) needed just one home win vs. Temple to earn a top-25 spot.

It’s already going to be a huge week with Vanderbilt set to host Alabama. It should’ve been an even bigger week for a squad that hasn’t had an in-season top-25 ranking since 2008.

2. Still too much love for Auburn, LSU

Sorry, but Auburn and LSU are perfect reasons why preseason rankings are silly. If we were just ranking top-25 teams for the first time with a clean slate, Auburn and LSU wouldn’t be ranked No. 15 and No. 25, respectively.

Auburn has two wins in which it didn’t look all that sharp, and Clemson man-handled the Tigers. The fact that Auburn stood pat after looking that weak against Mercer was odd.

And while LSU looked significantly better in its first two matchups, those were both against significantly lesser foes. In the Tigers’ first true road game, they were destroyed at Mississippi State. Nobody watched that game and thought LSU was a top-25 team. And if they did, they probably assumed MSU was No. 1.

I was sort of half-expecting MSU and LSU to be within a couple spots of each other. Why? It had nothing to do with where they should’ve been ranked (No. 17 was fair for MSU). I just didn’t trust voters to recognize Saturday night’s blowout for what it was — a loud statement that right now, the Bulldogs are the far-superior team.

3. Alabama holds off Clemson … but setting the stage?

Again, based on a blind résumé, Clemson deserves the No. 1 spot. All the reigning national champs have done is look extremely solid in consecutive victories against ranked teams.

I was a bit surprised that Alabama still got 45 first-place votes compared to Clemson’s 15. There’s nothing wrong with admitting that Alabama’s 2017 track record isn’t as impressive as Clemson’s. Even with Alabama’s Florida State win, Clemson has the upper hand.

But honestly, it doesn’t really matter. If both of these teams win their respective leagues and avoid having multiple losses, they should be in line for another rematch.

The fact that it took just three weeks for these teams to be No. 1 and No. 2 again — considering all the talent both teams lost — is nothing short of incredible.
