Bama should be #1. Top 10 looks fair. Still don't see how Oklahoma is ranked and Ohio State should be about 7 spots lower. They are not a top 20 team.

Oklahoma still being ranked is a **** joke. You're just .500, you are NOT a top 25 team.

I would swap Miami and GT, other than that the top 11 is good.
Agree that Oklahoma shouldn't be ranked. Just because they have 13 future NFL players starting for them apparently does not make them a good college team.
The Ohio State team that was in Purdue definitely doesn't deserve to be ranked, but the 3 weeks prior they might have been a Top 5 team. Methinks if they benched Pryor and put in an actual QB they would have smoked Purdue and would beat any team in the country on a neutral site. But they can't, and won't.
WVU and Pitt are both a lot better than anyone thought. The Big East overall is underappreciated. Pitt belongs in the 12-15 range.

I agree with you on Pryor. He is not a good college QB. Problem is, like you said, Tressel won't bench his precious recruit.
In regards to Pitt, I see a lot of them. I live in Pittsburgh so I'm able to watch their games every week. They have a very good team but I wouldn't put them in the top 12-15. I'd say they fall between 20-25. Stull is prone to make big mistakes. Their O-Coordinator is a lot better with play calling this season then Cavanaugh was while he was the O-Coordinator. Now, if they win out, then I will change the way I think of them. Dion Lewis is a stud though. The kid can run the ball.

i'm surprised iowa is that high, considering the unimpressiveness of their wins

They're undefeated and I think they've had the 3rd strongest schedule this year.

How can a .500 team playing in MAYBE the 3rd best conference be ranked is beyond me.

I bet Iowa gets beat this week.
They've had a nice start but i doubt they'll maintain it.

I'm leaning that way too. I'll be there watching Bulaga, Moeaka, Greg Jones, and a couple of others.

Iowa game is very interesting and I cannot wait to see what happens.
Iowa is favored to win by 1 point. 69% of the public has the spread and 44% have the ML.

is that a requirement? or would that be like watching saw1, saw2, saw3, saw4, saw5 etc...
in other words, isnt an awesome big10 defense this year, the same version as the last 5?
just curious, in case there was something new that i missed this year.
