This is becoming a mess but lots of football to be played. I will make an odd placement in the top of the list, as well as some sharing ranks. Feel free to throw in your opinions if you like.
#2. Oklahoma This could be the best team in the country right now. Fact: OU will play 4 more ranked opponents including Okie-St and A&M. They will be favored in all of them. Fact: One of LSU and Bama has to lose. And whoever will that be will not be "better" than OU.
#1/#3. LSU / Alabama Since we know one of them has to lose, I will put OU as a "sandwhich" between these top teams. For the moment I will give the edge to LSU, Alabama and OU would share the #2 spot.
#4. Stanford I still believe Stanford is the most complete team in the country. They will probably take at least the #3 spot depending on the margin of victory in the LSU/Alabama game, and definitely a NC contender especially if they beat Oregon.
#5. Wisconsin
#6/#7.Boise State /Oklahoma State I am finally convinced Boise State deserves to be ahead of Oregon. They actually have a real defense. But then look what the Pokes' defense did today. Since A&M barely beat Texas Tech, even on the road, that actually takes away some from OSU. Boise can't do much more about their weak opponent than win 57-7 on the road.
#8/#9. Clemson /Oregon Oregon's loss to LSU was a lot closer than Akry's loss to Alabama. Clemson continues to impress but can we really put them above Oregon? A tie for now but with if James doesn't play, I doubt the Ducks can stay on this list.
#10. Arkansas Sadly, beating Auburn isn't that big of a feat. But with LaMicheal James questionable. Even a close win by Oregon next week can move Arkansas up.
#11. Michigan With Texas out of the picture, the door step is all Michigan's for now.
