    Florida plays only two ranked teams all year, gets totally pwned by one of them and you only drop them three spots?

    This is a power ranking. I believe that FLorida would still beat the teams below it despite losing to my No. 1 team.

    UF would easily beat UT under your standard.

    Florida stinks and is overrated as is LSU of SEC….Oregon easily puts up 50 on Florida. Ducks are underrated.

    Cincinnati is also overrated. They might be number 20 if that.

    Oh yeah…GERHART earned the Heisman

    ABC for Heisman – Anyone But Colt – He didn’t even realize time was close to expiring on that last pass play…can you imagine 1 second away from being the goat of the year – he just got lucky there was still a second left at the end of the play. Worst of all, he will probably win the Heisman when Ingram had his best game in Alabama’s biggest game of the year (Colt had one of his worst).

    What a disappointing final ranking. It just goes to show you how we all have such short memories.

    Alabama needs the refs to beat LSU, and needs to block 2 field goals to beat Tennessee! They are lucky to be in the NC game instead of Cincinnati or TCU because they should have at least one loss.

    And Florida needs the refs to beat Arkansas, so they really should have 2 losses. Yet you have them ranked #4?

    Pure SEC bigotry – I get it, everyone hates Texas and doesn’t think they deserve to be in this spot. Just like last year when they got screwed by some arcane Big 12 rule, and Colt McCoy, who wiped his ass with Sam Bradford, comes in second place in the Heisman balloting.

    NC game should be a Texas event – TCU vs. UT. Horned Frogs vs. Longhorns.

    Go Texas.

    After leaving GT out last week you jump them to #8. I think this is where they belong but make up your mind.

    TCU in front of Texas? Clearly you’re an idiot.

    Big Tex?
    Colt needed those same Ref’s…
    TCU may be better than TEXAS, I don’t care who BAMA plays…BAMA is the best I’ve seen this season.

    GT and gimmick offense edges out OSU and their great defense??????? I don’t think there are enough question marks in the world for that one.
