College Football Rankings 11-11
1. Oregon (8-1) - Idle Oregon team moves to number 1. In my mind the obvious #1.
2. LSU (9-1) - Beat Louisiana Tech. Despite numerous close calls, they have played an impressive schedule and the drubbing of Virginia Tech is one of the best non-conference wins of the year.
2. Oklahoma (9-1) - Beat Baylor. A tie for #2 might seem a coup out, but I can't really separate them. My gut says LSU would win if they played, but my rankings ae mostly based on past results, not future prediction. Oklahoma hasn't played as tough a schedule, but they've largely taken care of business better than LSU has. LSU's defense performance is an issue, but Oklahoma has shown very little on the road.
4. Ohio St (10-1) - Loss to Illinois. It's a better loss than Oklahoma's and probably LSU's. But their wins against Penn St and Wisconsin don't match Oklahoma's over Missouri and Texas, or LSU's list.
5. Missouri (9-1) - Beat Texas A+M. Loss at OU and which they played fairly well is one of the best losses of the season, but Illinois is the only good team they've beaten.
6. Arizona St (8-1) - Beat a UCLA team that often plays up to their competition. Idle, than a showdown with USC.
7. West Virginia (8-1) - Lackluster win against Louisville.
8. USC (8-2) - Beat California. Would be ranked #2 if we could pretend that Stanford game didn't happen.
9. Kansas (10-0) - Beat Oklahoma St. I'm getting a strong Boston College vibe here, but they can stay here for now.
10. Georgia (8-2) - Wore black jerseys. Beat Auburn. Had a blackout. Did I mention they wore black jerseys? The announcers only did 6761570 times (that's an estimate - but I probably only watched half of it with the channel flipping).
10. Virginia Tech (8-2) - Beat Florida St. A tie for the 10th spot is a tricky way to actually rank 11 teams. I've been slow to recognize them, but overall body of work is pretty good, got stomped by LSU, other loss was against Boston College, a game they should have won. Can't anyone cover onside kicks anymore? And how ridiculous was it that an on-side kick recovery made Boston College's QB the leading Heisman candidate for a week?

Kansas deserves more respect... 10-0 is 10-0. And beating up on a much improved Oklahoma State on national TV Saturday night at Stillwater was impressive. Hopefully they will take care of Mizzou and give us one great Big 12 championship game against the Sooners.
The problem is they haven't played a single good team. They haven't played Missouri yet, and their schedule against the Southern Division was as easy as possible.
They got Baylor, A+M, and OSU instead of OU, Texas, and Tech.
The only teams they've played with winning records is 6-5 A+M (who is at best an average big school) and 6-4 C. Michigan.
The only things Kansas has going for them is their consistency, and a schedule that is tougher than Hawaii's.
If Kansas finishes by beating Missouri and Oklahoma I'll have them #1, but now their grade is basically an incomplete.
And Oregon goes down... ah yeah, here comes OU. Take care of business, and it will be LSU-Oklahoma after all, the matchup everyone wanted from the beginning.
