I'm overlooking Michigan's first week loss to ND, and I think Michigan is much better now than they were. |

LSU Tigers

I don't think LSU was overrated, I think Alabama is just very good.  It is hard for me to put Georgia ahead of LSU at this point.  I am not convinced the beat down was merely the result of death valley, but I will revisit the issue after the Georgia/Auburn result. |

Georgia Bulldogs
|
|
| 9 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
I wouldn't be surprised if they lost to Michigan State.  I also wouldn't be surprised if they won out and played in the playoff.  I thought Nebraska was going to be a closer game than people expected, the the results don't really give me as much cause for concern. |
| 10 |
Texas Longhorns
|
I admit I am quick to dismiss Texas's loss to Maryland at the beginning of the season.  They beat Oklahoma, though, and they barely lost to West Virginia.  I think Texas is a lot better than people give them credit for, and if West Virginia beats Oklahoma, I could see Texas playing in the Big12 Title and beating WVU. |

I think every team I put ahead of UCF would beat them on a neutral field. |
