Yeah I agree. Texas should be at 5.

My top 5 would be:

1. Bama
2. Penn St.
3. Texas Tech
4. Florida
5. Texas

then OU and USC.

Can someone explain to me how UGA is behind tOSU and Missouri? That is a travesty. UGA has proven way more than both of those teams.

You are worried about nothing. OU plays TT. If TT wins, OU falls below Texas. If OU wins, they stay above because they are peaking (beating a team late in the season that Texas just lost too.

Still lots of games. In trhe end, Penn State (regretably) vs. Florida. Big 12 will keep knocking each other off, and Florida is rolling.

USC is anchored. They only way they move up is if everyone ahead of them starts losing. Won't happen.

Prediction: UF vs. PSU.
If UF or PSU stumble, Oklahoma will be in.

cornholio can, this is his opinion on those who think UF is the best team.

Have you taken an IQ test lately? You probably shouldn't. You would make yourself look really bad.

Looks like Penn St. and Florida in the BCS.

Texas Tech is not going to beat Oklahoma St., Oklahoma, and Missouri for the Big-12 Championship.

If Oklahoma doesn't make it to the Big-12 C.G., they will drop below Florida--the SEC Champion and Texas--the Big-12 Champion.

Bama loses to LSU or Florida in the SEC C.G.

Florida and the SEC will embarrass the Big-10 for the 3rd. year in a row.

If Texas and Oklahoma go the rest of the season with no more losses, Texas goes to the Big-12 C.G.

The choice would be between the Big-12 Champion Texas and the SEC Champion Florida or Bama.

Without a Conference championship, Oklahoma is this year's Georgia.

What's crazy right now is if Texas Tech loses to OSU this weekend and @OU the 22nd. We may have another LSU jumping UGA for the NC situation, but this time with Texas jumping both OU and OSU.

1. Bama loses to LSU
2. Texas Tech loses to OSU and OU
3. Florida loses vs. USC, @FSU, or SECCG
4. USC gets jumped by a deserving one loss Big 12 champion, Texas

This could happen if Texas Tech only loses to OSU as well.

The difference is that Texas actually BEAT these 2 teams this year. LSU and UGA did not play.

And TigerTerror, we'll see. I don't really get caught up in all of how that may play out. It wastes brain energy.

I would put Texas at 4. They had a gauntlet of OU, Missouri, Ok State, and TT. And They had all of them won until 1 second left.

I think Texas' body of work is better than even Florida...but that trio of 1-loss teams Texas, OU, and Florida are all very good

Texas will annihilate the rest of their opponents. Will probably jump SC one of these weeks.

USC will do the same but the voters will look at the down Pac10. If Oregon State loses more games the loss looks even worse.

TT will beat OSU but lose to OU causing a clusterfcuk in the big12 south

Mizzou can throw a monkey wrench into all this by beating the Big12 south team in the CG.
