If for nothing else, they play in a conference that if you are good it should be pretty easy to go undefeated. But even though neither my Nittany Lions or Michigan are any good this year, they play both on the road...they will lose one of them.

That conference didn't help them much when they were getting embarrassed last year

In reality LSU and Oklahoma are the only teams that have beaten competition worth a damn.

But Ohio St. and USC look very solid all the way through. Ohio State has a very good defense so they can stay with anyone just like LSU, even on a bad day.

We shall see. Injuries, offensive lines getting into a groove could change everything quickly.

Who has Oklahoma beaten that Florida hasnt beaten? Tennesee is better than Miami this year.

Florida is right up there with any team and they are the defending champs. No florida fan but give respect.

I do think LSU and USC will be the two teams when the smoke clears.

South Florida wasn't even in the polls till what, three weeks ago or so? Now they are the #5 team in the country? I don't buy that. I know how the rankings go when a team loses, they move down and all another team has to do is not lose, no matter who they are playing. But there is just no way in the world that I'll believe South Florida is the fifth best team in the nation right now. They'd be huge underdogs playing Oklahoma, USC, or Florida. Again, understanding how rankings go, sometimes, common sense has to come into play. Florida, yeah they lost but come on. They lost AT LSU, in the final minutes of the game. A quality loss like that shouldn't move a team down. If they hold LSU on one of those fourth down plays, right now Cal is #1 and Florida would be ahead of LSU. Am I to believe that one play is the difference between LSU being 12 spots ahead of Florida and Florida being ahead of LSU? USC, if that receiver doesn't make that great catch for Stanford in the end zone, is still ranked in the top three but one play dropped them down to #10.

Wink Too early and until bcs is gone it is bs!

LSU in my opinion is the best but anyone can get beat on any certain saturday. How can penn state be number 10! They lost to michigan again you can like ohio state but don't count out wisconsin. winner of wisc-osu game in my opinion will win big ten. Unfortunately the bcs screws us of a real champion. You people in florida can say your champ from last year, but really the only undefeated team was boise state and they should have played ohio state not florida. The bcs is a joke and should be called bs. The little guy doesn't get a chance and that is why the march madness is the best!

I would put Ohio State at #2 and South Florida switched with BC.
The rest is very hard to sort.

when was the time the top 25 looked that ugly? there should be no polls until the first weekend in oct.
Fla. should be out of the top 15, uga should out of the top 25.
