After the game of the Century last week we have Oregon Stanford to tell us more about the top ten this week and Oklahoma-Oklahoma State still on tap for December 3rd. So on to the rankings... (Sorry for the delay.)
AP Top 5: LSU, Oklahoma State, Stanford, Alabama, Boise State
Coaches' Top 5: LSU, Stanford, Oklahoma State, Alabama, Boise State
Harris Top 5: LSU, Oklahoma State, Stanford, Alabama, Boise State
BCS Top 5: LSU, Oklahoma State, Alabama, Stanford, Boise State
My Top 5: LSU, Boise State, Oklahoma State, Stanford, Alabama
AP 6-10: Oregon, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Clemson, Virginia Tech
Coaches' 6-10: Oregon, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Virginia Tech, Clemson
Harris 6-10: Oregon, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Clemson, Virginia Tech
BCS 6-10: Oklahoma, Oregon, Arkansas, Clemson, Virginia Tech
My 6-10: Oregon, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Virginia Tech, Houston
The top fives and top tens don't have much disagreement except for what order to put certain teams in, I prefer Oklahoma to Oregon even though Oregon has the better loss and I prefer Houston and Virginia Tech over Clemson at this point in the season. To me the best argument can be had about Boise State, I think they are a top 3 team in the country and I have most of the season with Alabama's loss I think that they have the best defense behind Alabama out of the top 5.
AP 11-15: Houston, Penn State, Michigan State, Georgia, South Carolina
Coaches' 11-15: Houston, Penn State, Michigan State, Wisconsin, South Carolina
Harris 11-15: Houston, Penn State, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Georgia
BCS 11-15: Houston, Penn State, South Carolina, Kansas State, Georgia
My 11-15: Clemson, Penn State, Michigan State, Wisconsin, South Carolina
This section could easily fit up top with the top 10 because their isn't much argument who belongs here right now except for the BCS computer do not like the Big Ten teams. The combination of weak non-conference schedules and down year for close to elite teams this conference is taking a hit in the polls. Georgia to me is the only quibble and it's a small one I just don't think they have made it back to the top 15 yet but if they continue to win they will continue to climb slowly but surely.
AP 16-20: Wisconsin, Kansas State, USC, Nebraska Georgia Tech
Coaches' 16-20: Georgia, Nebraska, Cincinnati, Georgia Tech, Texas
Harris 16-20: South Carolina, Nebraska, Kansas State, Georgia Tech, Texas
BCS 16-20: Texas, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Auburn
My 16-20: Southern Miss, Georgia, Nebraska, Kansas State, Texas
AP 21-25: Texas, Michigan, Cincinnati, Auburn, Southern Miss
Coaches' 21-25: Michigan, Kansas State, Southern Miss, TCU, Auburn
Harris, 21-25: Michigan, Cincinnati, Southern Miss, Auburn, TCU
BCS 21-25: Georgia Tech, Southern Miss, Cincinnati, Michigan, Baylor
My 21-25: Cincinnati, Ohio State, Michigan, USC, TCU
The absence of USC in the Coaches', Harris and BCS leaves room for teams like Auburn and Baylor to sneak into the top 25 despite what they have done this year or the make up of their teams. I think Georgia Tech resides all too high in all of the polls, losing to two mediocre to bad teams in Virginia and Miami is not made up for by beating Clemson.
