1 Oregon Ducks Oregon is my #1 team. They are undefeated at 11-0 and have some very nice wins including over Ohio State (10-1) and Boise State (10-1). Also have wins over Illinois (8-3) and Michigan (6-5)
2 Ohio State Buckeyes Ohio State really looked good this weekend. They are 10-1 with a very close loss to Oregon. They have really impressive wins over Penn State (10-1) and Indiana (10-1). Also have wins over Iowa (7-4) and Nebraska (6-5)
3 Georgia Bulldogs Georgia is 9-2 and has nice wins over Texas (10-1), Tennessee (9-2), and Clemson (9-2). Also have a win over Florida (6-5).

12 BYU Cougars BYU is 9-2 and has a very nice win over SMU (10-1). Also has wins over Kansas State (8-3) and Baylor (7-4). They're a weird team. They have a really nice resume but they are in a spiral and seem like they could lose to anyone right now.
