i don't think iowa should be so high, considering the game yesterday-as well as a few others they've struggled in this year.
lsu impressed last night, i think they should be included in the top ten.

So conference play and winning on the road does not count? You should win no matter what? I don't care if your #1 or #200, its always tough to win on the road. Just ask USC. Especially when they LOSE NEXT WEEK at Oregon!!

I think my entire top 10 won yesterday. Probably don't need to change it until teams start losing which they will. (Alabama will eventually make it to number 2 coach, don't worry....unfortunately Boise isn't losing until after New Years Day!) (I pretty much correctly had USC nowhere remotely close to my top 10 didn't I KG!...they might be better than UC next year.)

It's ridiculous to have Iowa at #3. That is my only complaint about your top 10.

Their quarterback threw 4 picks in the 3rd quarter. Do that against any team that doesn't travel to away games in a fleet of short buses and they lose by 14 or more.

Perhaps. But I am a big 10 sycophant and enjoy their irrelevance. If they lose to OSU, they'll of course drop. Mid season rankings are also irrelevant on all counts. Despite the irrelevance of everything involved, myself included, winning road games against PSU, Wisconsin, and Ohio State in the same season would be very significant if they pull it off. As bad as the big 10 perhaps is, that is still impressive in that bad conference. They are a big 10 team that also routinely beats the SEC second tier routinely in New Year's Day bowl games. That tier that the top SEC tier gets oh so much credit for beating in the regular season. Stanzi is the Otto Graham of modern football. W-L.

Your top 10 is a joke. Texas would absolutely pummel Iowa, even if it was in corn country.

Of course it is. It's mid season. Time will drop Iowa if they aren't that good. Texas would pummel Iowa because they blew out an Ok State team without their superstar that lost to Houston on the same field? The same Houston that gave up 600 plus yards to southern Miss yesterday? Iowa reminds me of the bad OSU team that won the national championship several years ago that stunk every week but won nonetheless and beat Miami...bad interference call notwithstanding.

I rank the 7 unbeaten teams in the top 7. The order is irrelevant. I honestly don't care that Iowa was lucky to beat Northern Iowa. I like their road wins even if it is a bad conference. I am one who thinks the big 12 is just as bad if not worse than the big 10. Did you see the big 12 perform in bowl games last year?? Horrendous. In all honesty, Florida and Alabama should probably be 1-2 in any poll that exists, but I just can't do it. I can't get over the fact that Boise held that Oregon team we saw yesterday without a first down in an entire half.
