1- Florida- Really not impressed here. I mean they have prov-en to be less than impressive against average teams. Sure they have won twenty in a row but with no Harvin the Tide will handle them in the SEC Championship.
2- BAMA- Look great at times and OMG seriously? At times as well. They do have an awesome defense and a great running game which I think will end Fla’s win streak.
3- Texas- Obviously benefiting from light competition inside their division. Most teams get to schedule one or two cupcakes but they were blessed with the Big 12.
4- TCU- I believe these guys to be for real. I know, I know the MWC, but have you watched these guys. After watching them against UTAH who oh by the way handle Bama last year. I am looking at this team and trying to figure out if Fla or Bama could handle them. I think they would handle Texas pretty easily.
5- Cincy- defense is questionable but you cannot deny this offenses production. I really like this team as well. Watching the WV game they have shown when they are backed into a corner they will fight.
6- Boise St.- I am not sure what to make of these guys. All I know is if you want to see speed watch them play if you can. Lightning on blue turf is all I can say and I believe they can hang with a couple of the big boys above them.
7- Georgia Tech- Are we talking about an option team from a division that is not quite back to it’s old self? Really I think every defense above them and probably three to four below them in the rankings will shut them down and their defense is hit or miss. I know they only have one loss but that was to a Miami team that is reeling to finish in the top 25.
8- LSU- I would definitely have them at seven. There two loses were close hard fought battles against number one and number two. These guys are much better than GT so give them the credit they deserve. Who is in charge of these computers anyway?
9- Pitt- This one I like. I could take them or Ohio State here. Pitt hasn’t really played the best of their schedule yet but if they win out by beating a decent WV and Cincy there is no reason they should not be talked about at the top of the Chart.
10- Ohio State- Wait until next year. This team has already got me worried. I believe Jim will have another National Title next year. These guys are young and with another year under their belt on the offensive side, watch out. I think them being ranked here or at nine is right. The Big Ten is not what it used to be so to be ranked number ten is not bad for this team.
All in all it is still another sad year without a playoff. I know it is like beating a dead cow (everyone says horse, be different) but seriously no matter how it shakes up and pans out we college football fans are being ripped off. However the players are the real losers here. I mean they train and play this game their whole life. At every level their fate has always been decided on the field and now it is decided by a computer. Undefeated or not who is the real champion? Did you play the best week in and week out? Imagine being undefeated and Ranked number three with no shot to prove that you are the better football team. I know that the polls have a little influence but seriously we are all human and who out there can pick who would win every single game? If your that good, go to Vegas.

NCAA needs playoffs badly. Or they at least need to re-order divisions every so often that way teams like Boise State and TCU can play worth while opponents.
I believe you’re selling Florida short, like the ESPN crowd. You mention Bama’s defense but say nothing about Florida’s defense. Florida’s offense has not been as overpowering this season but their defense has literally won all the big games for them. This is the sign of a great team. To say Bama will take them is awfully brave being that Florida’s defense comes up big in the important games, like they did last year against Bama and Oklahoma. (Like they did this year against LSU in Baton Rouge.) Bama has struggled to win this year just as much as Florida and has also won some very tight games. At any rate, it should be one fun game to watch.
JJ,
I agree that Florida’s defense is one of the best in the Country but can they continue because of their speed but I question the toughness but I hope Bama’s offense wears face shields (sorry had to get that in there). Have they faced a team that can run the ball as well in the fourth quarter as Bama? It will be a low scoring game but in the end I think this defense has been asked to answer the call far too many times this season. I just don’t see Tebow running over MT. Cody as he has the middle of other defenses. I am looking forward to seeing the SEC title game and expect a good one. All in all I am on the TCU band wagon lol.
