Toop 25 and like the old BCS show, they will adjust every week. Of course, the big debate right now is the top 4.
Long ways to go but this is a great way for ESPN to draw out the ratings...
Lots of ball to play

If the goal was to make sure the chair didn't have to recuse himself during any part of the discussion, they definitely got the right man.
