What's your Top 6 after this weekend's mix up?

1. Alabama
2. Oklahoma
3. Clemson
4. Wisconsin
5. Miami
6. Auburn

Currently, I think this is the best rankings. It gives Miami and Auburn both the opportunity to replace Alabama and Clemson with their upcoming games. It also keeps Alabama and Georgia in the hunt should one stumble (ex: Auburn in the SEC Champ, Wisconsin against Michigan or the B1G Championship, Oklahoma against West Virginia, and so on.)

Miami absolutely needs to be ahead of Wisconsin at this point.

Do they? Wisconsin is that methodical, boring style of football that the average fan doesn't like. They aren't wearing the turnover chain, engaging in flashy celebrating, and whatnot. They play sound defense (Northwestern is the only team to have scored more than 20 on them), run the ball extremely well, and don't beat themselves. I think they are a lot better than what the average fan gives them credit for.

Looking at the season as a whole, Wisconsin has been more impressive than Miami. Miami has been hot for two games (Virginia Tech and Notre Dame). Now, they've been extremely impressive in those two, but their total body of work isn't that much better, if any, than Wisconsin's imo.

Eh... Don't think you'll find anyone that agrees with you, including myself.

Wisconsin has two wins over current CFP Top-25 teams, though Iowa is likely to drop, courtesy of Wisconsin.

Miami also has two convincing wins over current CFP Top-25 teams, both of which were in the Top-15 with one of those being inside the Top-5.

I legitimately think they'd beat them in a head to head. I don't think Miami matches up well with Wisconsin.

If the reasoning for putting Georgia #1 over Alabama was the win over Notre Dame then they’ll look like a bunch of hypocrites if Miami isn’t #1 Tuesday.

First, the committee won't out them ahead of Miami. No way.

Second, have you seen Hornibrook play QB? He's not good. At all. Like, he's bad. That Wisky defense is elite though.

Iowa is likely to drop because they have a 6-4 peasant record, dumbass

the spin you goons put on your team to appear better is beyond embarrassing

I'd be surprised if Auburn comes in ahead of UGA. They both throttled Mississippi State at home. UGA beat ND on the road. Auburn crushed UGA, but they also have two losses, albeit both on the road.

UGA is ahead of Auburn in all five BCS computer rankings that have been released this week, for example.

To be fair, hoopsgalore is more rational than most of the Big 10 guys around here.
