|---|---|---|

Clemson Tigers

| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes

Putting OSU here because Bama just looked outclassed last night. If it had been another Bama-Clemson down to the wire type game I'd probably have put Bama here. But in the end I don't think it will matter too much. Both will probably be in most people's top 3 or 4. |
| 3 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
|
| 4 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
|
| 5 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|

| 6 |
Florida Gators

Going to be real honest. I wasn't sure how to handle these next four. There's a circle of transitivity here. I think they're all top 10 teams. But I'm struggling with who should be ahead of who. In the end I kind of just went with the "what have you done lately" approach. |

They played a hell of a game. I'm not going to punish them too hard for losing. |
