Has any team truly separated themselves this year?

ACC:

-Clemson hasn't played anyone and barely beat a bad Louisville team
-Florida State's offense is mediocre at best
-Georgia Tech was exposed against a Notre Dame team without its starting QB, RB, or TE

Big 10:

-Ohio State created an unnecessary quarterback controversy and it's starting to affect them
-Michigan State may be legit, but they haven't truly put anyone away (beat WMU by 13, Oregon by 3, AF by 14)
-Northwestern is slowly creeping up on everyone else

Big 12:

-TCU's defense has left a lot to be desired. They look to be the Baylor of 2015
-Baylor has taken a step back both offensively and defensively. Not to mention they haven't played anyone
-Oklahoma has shown that they can score, but their defense still lets people hang around

PAC 12:

-Not a single team in the north is undefeated after week 3. Oregon has taken a significant step back
-Utah, Arizona, and UCLA may be contenders, but all have pretty substantial flaws
-USC was exposed badly yesterday at home
-Arizona State was a preseason contender who got depantsed by A&M in Houston

SEC:

-Georgia has been pretty consistent, but their competition hasn't provided a worthy challenge
-LSU looks salty, but do we really know how good Mississippi State is? We know Auburn is bad this year
-A&M still has a lot of flaws on the left side of the offensive line and the interior of the defense, and has virtually no running back depth. Can that be fixed in the next few weeks?
-Was Ole Miss that good or has Alabama taken a significant step back?

No because it's only week 3 and 1/3, 2/3, or 3/3 of the teams teams have played have been cupcakes

when you look at the close games of the top 25 the first blush answer is no, no one has separated themselves.

You do see teams with large upsides:
ND (yuck)
Georgia
Mich State
LSU
Ole Miss

I saw part of the SMU/TCU game and I'm just not sold on TCU. They were in a dogfight well into the 4th with SMU.
