Default Top 10
This is a crazy college season so far. Just curious to see how others would vote if they had one for the current top 10 teams. Mine would be:

1. Texas
2. Florida
3. Alabama
4. Oklahoma
5. Va. Tech
6. Houston
7. USC
8. Oregon
9. LSU
10. Miami

Before anyone laughs or riducules this, try your own and see how hard it is. First thing I'm sure people will wonder is how Oregon is ahead of Boise St.? Try your own.

You've got Notre Dame too low. They clearly are #2 behind Florida.

And Temple 7th? They just smoked SUNY Buffalo. That has to be good for top 5, at least.

I'm biased against ND. Temple's non conference schedule is too SEC-like. Army is a sleeper. Beware the Wishbone.

I'm okay with this. I could see Iowa going far. And Cinci is a good team.

They will beat Michigan. Michigan State really isnt all that good. WI and OSU will be tough. I think thier only loss will be OSU.

Va Tech, Boise and Cincy did not look like top 10 teams this week. If Cincy's QB is out you can replace them now.

I base my picks solely on what they've accomplished this year and not what I think they will do from now on. For the record, Georgia Tech would be #11 on my list so I don't think a road loss to them is anything to be embarrassed about.

I cannot see any reason to go top 10. I don't think there are 10 good teams. This year is horrible.

1. Alabama
2. Texas
3. Miami
4. USC
5. Florida
6. Oregon
7. Oklahoma
8. Georgia Tech
9. Virginia Tech
10. TCU

I know, crazy for having Oklahoma that high but they've lost three really tough games to good teams and haven't been close to full strength. I really think that they are a good team and with a healthy Bradford, they are one of the best teams. I think they'd probably be #1 or #2 right now and undefeated if he doesn't get hurt.

If they are #11 and beat Va Tech (and they did beat them pretty good) why wouldnt they be reversed?
