A couple of things stand out.

Undefeated or not - Florida State has zero Top 25 wins and really no potential for any more.

I would rank Oregon #1 and Alabama #2 in front of them. Florida State #3. TCU/Mississippi State is a more interesting argument now than most figure. Baylor could drop a couple more down the stretch, and if MSU beats Ole Miss, they will have the same number of quality wins. Could come down to quality of loss between TCU and MSU.

Baylor can probably pass TCU if they beat Kansas State.

Ohio State is just sitting there - going to slip up in this thing.

Ole Miss is probably the best 2 loss team, but Michigan State makes an interesting comparison with their two losses being Top 7.

Florida State needs to be in the top four. They're undefeated.

I'd put them at 4, and AS SOON as they lose, they'd be gone. I would very grudgingly have them there. Now, for TCU and Baylor. Baylor is better, and TCU struggled with freaking Kansas. If either falter at all, Ohio State goes up.

Its just interesting to look at it in chart form. I'm an MSU fan - I think we should be in, but TCU has an argument to be 4 over us.

A&M and LSU losing last night really hurt MSU. Going to be interesting.

If LSU isn't a quality win for Alabama, then how is it a quality loss for Ole Miss? As well as WVU being a quality loss for Baylor

I am ok with Baylor at 4 and MSU at 5, but if MSU wins out, including a win over Ole Miss, then I would place them at 4 ahead of Baylor.

Based upon your chart, my ranking (for this week) would be:

1. Oregon
2. Alabama
3. Florida State
4. Baylor
5. Mississippi State
6. TCU
7. Ohio State
8. Tie between Ole Miss and Georgia

Michigan State should receive no consideration

They are losses. Black and white denotes a loss to a team that is unranked.

1. Oregon
2. Florida St.
3. Baylor
4. TCU

It doesn't say quality loss. Just loss. B/W logo means unranked team. I learned how to read a chart in 2nd grade.

Interesting - of the two loss teams - they definitely have the "best" losses. Georgia lost to two unranked and Ole Miss has one of each.

I'd put the two loss teams like this:

1. Ole Miss (best win)
2. Michigan State (best losses)
3. UCLA (2nd best losses)
4. Georgia (worst best win and worst losses)

Baylor? and TCU almost lost to Kansas.

1. Alabama
2. Oregon
3. Mississippi State
4. FSU
5. Ohio State
6. Baylor
7. Ole Miss
8. Georgia
9. Michigan State
10. Arizona

TCU does not deserve to be a top 10 team almost losing to Kansas and giving up the amount of points they have. Should have lost to WVU.

1. Alabama
2. Oregon
3. FSU
4. State
5. TCU
6. Baylor
7. OSU
8. Ole Miss
9. Michigan St
10. UGA

Miss St ought to lose comparison against either Baylor or TCU. If FSU finally plays a team that goes at them in the second half, I really wonder who the committee would give the spot to- 2 spots for 4 teams, Baylor, TCU, Miss St, and Ohio St. I hope it sorts itself out. I don't trust the committee at all.

Looks good but switch TCU and Baylor. The Gophers lost and TCU lost its quality victory. Baylor has the tiebreaker over them.

Surely an Alabama fan is not going think its a good idea to punish teams for losses they should have had...

I understand your post, but don't think we should count almost losses either for or against anyone. Using your argument, Alabama could have lost to Arkansas and LSU.

I have Baylor at #4 for now based on its win against TCU. My rankings should have Ohio State one spot higher up in the list.

I don't want to come across as hating on MSU, but they have not impressive their last three games. Honestly, although they only lost by 5 to Alabama, I was disappointed in their performance. If Alabama had not played LSU the week before, I think on Saturday they beat MSU by double digits.

My bold prediction is UCLA is above UGA in the committee's rankings.

1. Oregon
2. Alabama
3. Florida State
4. Mississippi State

This allows for a natural Oregon/MSU Rose Bowl and Bama/FSU Sugar Bowl.

5. TCU
6. Baylor

If Baylor beats K-State, that will be enough to flip flop them.

7. Ohio State
8. Ole Miss
9. Michigan State
10. UCLA

We're looking at this for the other four New Years Six Games:

Orange Bowl: Ole Miss vs. Georgia Tech
Fiesta Bowl: Baylor vs, UCLA
Peach Bowl: Michigan State vs. Colorado State
Cotton Bowl: TCU vs. Ohio State
