1/2 in Tier Cb: Similar quality losses as Alabama has. However, they have beaten 3 teams (Iowa, Michigan, Indiana) that are ranked ahead of Alabama's best win (Texas A&M) according to my computer
(Computer #10: Auburn) Didn't really impress anyone with the Rutgers game, but still won by 3 scores. 10-2 and an outside shot at the Rose Bowl though I don't think they should get it regardless.
Early-season Penn State makes an appearance! Lions messed around with a bad Rutgers team before turning on the jets. Ultimate fate probably depends on Wisconsin.
10 - 2. Have looked good but not great on both offense and defense all season. Wins over Michigan and Iowa. Losses against Ohio State on the road and Minnesota on the road. Good but not great team worthy of a mid-ranking. Ranked just behind Minnesota as a result of their head-to-head.
