It’s BYU. Agree, they are good but not top 8 good.

Btw, I have watched some Notre Dame football. Don’t think they are top 4 but they are actually pretty good this year. Much better than I expected. Your thoughts? (Deff better than BYU).

Missouri was impressive when they played that kind of a schedule when Heupel was the OC and Odom the HC but when it came to the SEC and top teams and they get blown out big time!

I would put them Cincinnati at #5 and BYU at #6 respectively. I haven't been impressed with Texas A&M when I've watched them play and Florida's defense is awful. At the very least, BYU should have been ranked ahead of Georgia, OU, Indiana, and Iowa State.

BYU's opponents are currently ranked #41, #50, #82, #92, #96, #98, #107, #108, and #113 according to ESPN's FPI ratings... plus they played FCS North Alabama.

Now ask yourself: How many teams in all of college football would also be 10-0 had they played that schedule?

I'm going to guess around 30.

Why should we pretend BYU is good if they haven't played anyone?

The same exercise could be done for Cincy but for some reason the Committee decided they wanted to pretend their schedule was somehow much tougher.

Cincy has no business being ranked ahead of Northwestern. None.

I would put them in the top 8, but not top 4.
1. Alabama
2. Notre Dame
3. Ohio State
4. Clemson
5. Texas A&M
6. Florida
7. BYU
8. Cincinnati

But that’s just me.

I’d probably have them a spot or two higher. Way off suggests what? Where would you put them?
