1. Ohio State (11-1) - Only in a season like this could a team that hasn't played a game for two straight weeks, catapult up 5 space to number 1 and a National Title game.
2. Virginia Tech Hokies (11-2) - They were #4 on my list last week, and the won the ACC title game. Right now I believe they should get the title shot.
3. Georgia Bulldogs (10-2) - Playing as well as anyone in the nation right now. Unfortunately, without winning their conference division, they cannot be allowed to play for the national title.
4. LSU Tigers (11-2) - It has taken 6 overtimes for this team to amass its two losses. Looks like the BCS will put LSU in the title game.
5. Oklahoma Sooners (11-2) - Stoops squad proved itself again by completely dominating the former #1 Mizzou Tigers. Will also get title game consideration as they won a very tough Big 12 this year.
6. USC Trojans (10-2) - Like the Dawgs, this team is red hot. Despite this I still cannot forget the beating the Pac 10 champs took at the hands of lowly Stanford. National Champs? Not in my book.
7. Missouri Tigers (11-2) - Last night they were a win away from a national title shot. Now, will be competing for a BCS at large bid. Still have to rank them ahead of Kansas because of the head to head only 1 week ago.
8. Kansas Jayhawks (11-1) - I know the faithful will agre about the team having only 1 loss, but was there anyone in the country who left last weeks game thinking Kansas was better than Mizzou? With Mizzou falling to 7, Kansas belongs at 8.
9. Florida Gators (9-3) - One of the big things I look at in my rankings is who do I feel would win a head to head battle. I think the Gators can beat almost anyone on any given Saturday.
10. Hawaii Warriors (12-0) - I know they are undefeated, but some of their wins were much closer than should have been for a top 10 team. Still, a win is a win... right?
11. Arizona State Sun Devils (10-2) - Erickson has done a great job with these kids. Can't wait to see what they do next season.
12. West Virginia Mountaineers (10-2) - A ten spot drop? Yup. They were drudged by a Pittsburgh team who wasn't even top 5 in the conference. This team does not win under pressure. Period.
13. Illinois Fighting Illini (9-3) - They have three losses, but they have made some great noise all year long. The beat up the Buckeyes and have stayed near the top of the Big 10 throughout.
14. Texas Longhorns (9-3) - They move up two spots as the Eagles and Vols show they were not as good as advertised.
15. Clemson Tigers (9-3) - They have only three losses in a conference that features LSU, Georgia, Tennessee and Florida. They can flat out play.
16. Boston College (10-3) - I said I though this team was overrated. They played their hearts out against the Hokies. By the way, 10 wins is still impressive.
17. Virginia Cavaliers (9-3) - This team has had a great year. Senior Chris Long has been the man. Plus head to head against the Vols, I'd choose the Cavs.
18. South Florida Bulls (9-4) - Former #2 is still a very young team. Keep your eyes on this emerging program. Plus, just like the Cavs, I'd take them head to head over the Vols.
19. Tennessee Vols (9-4) - In my opinion they are the 5th best team in the SEC. That being said the SEC is super strong, and the Vols still belong in the top 20.
20. BYU Cougars (10-2) - I have a hard time arguing against a 10 win team. Having said that, they were 10 wins against a very weak schedule.
21. Connecticut Huskies (9-3) - Just like their conference mate Bulls, this young team is ready for national attention. Hurting in the AP because of the timing of their third loss.
22. Wisconsin Badgers (9-3) - Tough Big 10 schedule. Left it out on the field each and every week.
23. Cincinnati Bearcats (9-3) - Another player in the Big East mix. Now a national player too.
24. Boise State Broncos (10-2) - How would this team fare if they played in a real football conference?
25. Auburn Tigers (8-4) - This team does have 4 losses, but they play in one of the two best conferences in college football, and only lost to other top teams.
