The SEC bias is still alive and strong as already pointed out. Ole Miss at #12 at 3-2. You also had Tennessee with all their narrow/lucky wins (even over not good opponents like Appy State) not dropping after finally losing.

Where do you guys have the other unbeatens?

Boise St? I'd throw them about #13...just behind 2 loss Wisconsin and 1 loss FSU and probably 1 loss Houston

WVU...#14 for me

Western Michigan....#20

WVU at 14 is a little too high for me. They've played absolutely no one. That being siad, they have a good shot at going undefeated. They get Oklahoma and Baylor at home.

WMU is good, but 20 is about as high as they should go.

Baylor will be in the top 10, but who have they beat? No one. And they finish the season @ texas, @ Oklahoma, @ WVU. Yikes

Those teams from 11-20 are tough to distinguish between. I have Utah in the high teens and FSU in low teens but couldn't tell you which is better. Houston struggling. How good is Navy? I think Arkansas and Ole Miss are dead even just depends on who plays at home. I feel they are both around #15 as far as best team....but Ole Miss 3 losses puts them right around the 25 cutoff.

I think I have Wisconsin at #10 (other losses by Mich or OSU obviously would hurt their ranking a bit)

I do not believe Nebraska is top 12 but would rank them 8th do far

West Virginia can actually play defense this year so I'm not sure why you aren't high on them.

Also EC bias is on full display with Washington not being third right now. They are just murdering teams at the moment

I like Washington but you're fucking high if you want them and their 0 quality wins over Michigan and Clemson.

How is Ole Miss still ranked? They don't have a quality win and are 3-3.

Had Bama beat but blew it losing by 5...Bama is clearly the #1 team. They were 15th and lost a tough one on road at Arkansas....they and Arkansas are basically the same.

I think they are definitely a top 25 team (15th-20th) but don't really like them not having to get back into the rankings without falling out with no good wins and 3-3.

I just watched a replay of the end of last year's Michigan/Michigan state game. (Blocked punt for a td)

Someone in the comments said Northwestern put 54 up on Michigan state this year. How many points do you think Michigan will score?

I'm not sure, but I think it will be a lot...

Some 19 schools made their case to be a part of the Big12. The cost of the presentations and preparations ranged from $11-$15 thousand per school. That's a quarter of a million dollars down the drain. Lol

I'm missing the boat here...but can someone explain what the Big12 is doing? They asked if people wanted to join...and turned down everyone?

The Big 12 is dumb (I get it was all about money but come on). I hope they start being kept out of playoffs for not having a championship game.

They were bribing their network partners to give them more money and it worked.

They won't be a conference within the next 5 years is my bet. They were REALLY close a few years ago to folding up shop

I think they need to go to 4 16 team mega conferences anyway. Have 2 8 team divisions in each conference. The conference championship games then become your national quarter finals. The 4 conference Champs make the playoff.
