Georgia got whipped to death by Auburn. It wasn't even close. I think Georgia should be removed from the conversation after that thrashing.
Alabama was tied late in the 4th against Miss. State - a decent team, but not phenomenal. I get they were down at LB, and some of those guys might return by playoff time.
Wisconsin is a solid team top to bottom, but a soft schedule and questionable passing attack.
I think the most balanced teams are probably Auburn, Miami, and Oklahoma. Don't forget, once (or if) OU gets done with Big 12 play and enters the playoffs, their defense stacks up much better against more traditional offenses. They have proven this against 3 SEC teams in recent years, plus Ohio State this year.
Having said that, I don't know if OU can whip WVU and beat TCU again for the Big 12.

Yes we did and no, it wasn't.

And I think Oklahoma should be removed for getting beat by Iowa State. At least we got beat to death by a good team. You have a bad game against Iowa Stete, you get beat. You have a bad game against Auburn you get beat to death.
So, since we are now out of it, and Oklahoma is now out of it, who do you think is the best team? After all if your opinion carries enough weight to eliminate Georgia, then mine should be enough to eliminate Oklahoma.

Fair enough.

Wait. Oklahoma beat a very bad Bayllor team by 8 points. If we are not letting Alabama in based upon their game with MState, why does Oklahoma get in the conversation after Baylor? For that matter you only beat Kansas State by 7 points! Oklahoma definitely gets eliminated for the best team conversation.

You have to play defense to be balanced.

Penalizes Bama for winning a close game over a ranked team on the road

Doesn't penalize OU or AU for actually losing games
