As a starting point, here's how it looks right now
1. Ohio State
2. Notre Dame
3. Auburn
4. USC
5. West Virginia
6. LSU
7. Florida
8. Texas
9. Florida State
10. Georgia
11. Michigan
12. Louisville
13. Tennessee
14. Virginia Tech
15. Oklahoma
16. Iowa
17. Miami (FL)
18. Oregon
19. Nebraska
20. TCU
21. California
22. Arizona State
23. Boston College
24. Texas Tech
25. Penn State

Person who gets the most right, wins

Shouldn't we wait for all the games to finish first? :confused:

With that, here's my guess:

1. Ohio State
2. Auburn
3. USC
4. West Virginia
5. Florida
6. Texas
7. Michigan
8. Louisville
9. Georgia
10. LSU
11. Notre Dame
12. Virginia Tech
13. Iowa
14. Oregon
15. Florida State
16. Tennessee
17. TCU
18. California
19. Arizona State
20. Boston College
21. Clemson
22. Oklahoma
23. Miami (FL)
24. Penn State
25. Alabama

Edit: I would like to put Alabama somewhere, but I don't think defeating Louisiana-Monroe is good enough to pop into the Top 25.

Edit2: Nevermind, Nebraska should be out; they should drop out of the Top 25 even if they lost to USC. USC didn't even play that well. Bama goes back to my Top 25 list. :p

Not sure what it'll look like... I just wish we (michigan state university) would be ranked... after our win at pitt tonight... but it'll have to wait until Notre Dame sucks it up next weekend here in East Lansing.

other than the USC media bandwagon starting up, that doesn't make much sense. Auburn beat a much better team than USC did this week, and Auburn was ranked higher already (albeit by only one point)


edit: i think i'm underestimating the USC media bandwagon. they need a bandwagon team since ND has lost and i don't think they'll go to ohio state. after watching gameday final or sportscenter or whatever it is and how kirk and the coach are both putting USC number 2, i'm going to have to move them ahead of auburn.

The USC offense was lackluster tonight. I'm going to say they will be #3.

lou holtz is all over USC for #2.


i think far too many people are going to look at that 7-3 and think auburn isn't as good as USC.

Auburn and LSU basically stood in the ring and slugged it out like two heavyweights trading punches. I think either one of those teams could put a hurt on USC. Yeah, USC dominated a weak Arkansas (not exactly a good team at all) and Nebraska (the Big 12 is a big joke).

The media is doing the same thing they did in 2004.
"If Auburn beats LSU, we'll believe" Well we did and it's not good enough (like 2004)

Next the media will be talking "If Auburn beats Florida, then we'll believe". When Auburn beats Florida the cycle will start with Georgia.

Florida State, Miami, Nebraska , and Texas Tech should not be in the Top 25.

I kind of agree on florida state. Maybe if they finish outside of the 25 there'll be no choice but to fire the idiot bowden son.

Go Cards! Payback for last year vs. Miami.

Sucks that they lost Brian Brohm for a few games though. Curious to see how that will affect the ratings.

Auburn will not lose to Florida at Jordan-Hare. After the defensive display put on by LSU and Auburn in last night's game, I'd be worried if I were a UF player. I hope Tebow is ready to see some action because Leak will not make it through both LSU and Auburn unscathed.
