PrintWhat are your thoughts on Utah? The Utes sit at 7-0 and have their best win at an average Pitt squad. If we're talking top mid-majors, they are distant third for sure but do they deserve to be a top-10 squad? Also, Virginia Tech seems to have righted their ship and is playing like the team we all expected them to be, so I slotted them in at #20...

not sure how a one loss Oklahoma drops that far. But with the Utah delima They are a very solid team. If they are able to beat my Horned Frogs in 2 weeks then they are a top 5 team. But for right now I’d say between 7-10 is a fair spot for them
Still amazed Auburn is able to keep winning. Cam Newton is a physical specimen but jeez. Guy cant pass. Single coverage and load the box. Should not give up 300+ yards rushing to that team. If he passes for 300 tip your hat say good game and move on. But please dont just let them run all day.
Now I have to pray for a one loss LSU to beat Bama and a two loss Bama to beat Auburn.
I mean, in my opinion
Oklahoma is still overranked. They’re a pretty overrated team as a whole. And I hate them.
Looks about right, once again
I might have LSU a little higher. Oklahoma should be higher also. It certainly makes since for Utah to be in the top 10.
I still wonder what we would think of Auburn if Clemson had not thrown the game away to them. I wonder if we would even be talking about Auburn if their schedule had them in Death Valley and in Baton Rouge, not to mention at South Carolina. They even get Georgia at home this year. As it is their difficult road games were Kentucky and Mississippi State. The Alabama game is looking like their only loss this year.

I wonder if...
I wonder if AU will ever get the credit it deserves? First, they don’t beat anybody. When they do it’s because they play at home. Oh, and AU only wins because they have Cameron Newton.
Name a team that doesn’t have marquis players? I’ll admit that Newton is a once in a generation player (like a Calvin Johnson). Also,name me a team that does well that doesn’t have a favorable schedule? Alabama had a VERY similar SEC schedule as AU last year (played MSU and Ole Miss away, rest at home). Didn’t hear too many moans then.
I would think GT fans would understand lack of due respect. I’m not saying that AU will win out, but their body of work deserves respect to this point. 8-0 is 8-0.
Auburn has already gotten the credit it deserves
The point is we are all just guessing right now about the relative strengths of different teams. Auburn is getting more credit than Utah for instance because some people obviously think Auburn is a stronger team. We won’t know until the end of the season whether Utah or Auburn is actually stronger and we may not know even then. Same goes for every other team though certain teams clearly are catching our eye right now, Oregon being exhibit A.

Total winFAIL guys
They fell because I accidentally left them off the ballot. Consider the rankings fixed and adjusted. :-(

Since only #1 vs. #2 matters
because the BCS is EVERYTHING, how about just ranking the two teams you most want to see play for all the marbles?
War Eagles vs. Ducks? Ducks are the Loyola Marymount of CFB, no D, but can outscore anybody.
Utah vs. Boise? FAIL
TCU vs. Tide? Intriguing.

I like your idea
Match ups I would like to see include but are not limited to:
Alabama versus Oregon
Boise State versus Auburn
Ohio State versus TCU

Alabama-Oregon
would be unbelievably ridiculous. They’re the complete antithesis of each other. Oregon runs minimally and throws often in their circus of an offense and rarely doesn’t break 50 points. Alabama runs, runs, runs some more, and rarely attempts to do anything but a) punch you in the mouth, b) punch you in the mouth again, or c) completely shut down your offense.
Alabama will lose another
Bama goes down to LSU in BR. Call it a hunch!
exactly
it would be the ultimate match-up between two diametrically opposed football philosophies. Of course, having said that, the last time anything remotely like this happened Utah ran all over Alabama.
