Comments:
- Being on the road, I didn't have access to my normal resources. If something looks seriously out of whack, please let me know.
- So it looks to me like it will be Notre Dame and the winner of the SEC championship game between Alabama and Georgia in the BCS championship game. I think Florida's path to the championship was foreclosed by Notre Dame beating USC this weekend.
- Can you believe there are 3 sets of "Aggies" in this top 25? Has that ever happened before?
- Has Kent St. ever been ranked inside the top 20? More importantly, how many 11-1 teams have a loss to a 2-11 team (Kentucky) as the only blemish on their record?
- How tough is the SEC? Half the top ten are occupied by SEC teams, and you can make a strong case for a sixth.
- I know I didn't move up Ohio St. even after their big victory over Michigan. That's because they aren't bowl-eligible, and I capped their rise at #6. A team on probation does not deserve a top five ranking.
- How satisfying is it to see Louisville unranked? Soft schedule = upsets by inferior teams.
That's what I have. Your comments and suggested corrections are most welcome.
