Michigan was #8 in the country, and they have lost two games - crushed by Bama, a one score loss to Notre Dame. They have crushed everyone since then. But since you don't want to accept rankings as indicative of strength, we can't use Michigan.
Arkansas was ranked top ten, and we beat them when they were ranked top 15, iirc. They have been playing well the last two games, after falling apart. But since we can't use rankings to determine strength, they are a nobody. Alabama beat them 52-0.
Florida, on the other hand, beat an LSU team that we all just KNOW is great. They are ranked #6, which PROVES they must be elite, so Florida is obviously strong and should be ranked #1.
Ok.

Lol. Do you really not think there is a different between preseason rankings, and the first BCS standings? LSU isn't a more quality win than Michigan or Arkansas(speaking of Arkansas, did you see what Johnny Football did to them? He broke Archie Manning's 50 year old record for total offense. Wait. Weren't you saying Aggies aren't allowed to use the Arkansas win as evidence of anything?) I'm not saying Alabama shouldn't be ranked number one, I was simply discounting the previous assumption Alabama deserves it simply on their body of work. Calm down, bro. Your team is number one. You're falling in to the Skip Bayless territory of sports reasoning.
