Ok- let's actually put together a legitimate Top 5......

1. Bama
2. Florida
3. LSU
4. Utah
5. Sparty

Florida over us? are you serious? They were ranked 25th.

They did pile drive the team that beat us. So it makes since they are ranked ahead of us.

They're 5-0 and have a 'bigger' win than we do.

That's debatable on bigger win. Bama went to Athens

not tcu, just the idiots that keep hyping them. baylor beat tcu last year (head to head), yet every idiot that a voice wanted to put tcu in over baylor, i had an issue with that...and this year tcu has been very unimpressive, and again everyone wants to reward them...why? if ALABAMA were baylor last year, every BAMA fan would be ....ed about the national perception, and im sure they'd want coach saban to say something (like briles did). patterson is a dog, and is very sneaky in his attacks. yeah, i hate tcu!!!

YES! Baylor has proven they can stay atop the B12 (sustain) while TCU hasn't proven anything. TCU may well stomp Baylor this year but they'll have to actually do it before I anoint them. They are not in my top 6.

Baylor needs to start scheduling better. Until then, they get no respect from me. They did blowout a decent Texas Tech team, but they have yet to play a really good team.

Pre-season rankings should mean nothing when ranking teams at this point. Florida's defense looked really good yesterday. They have corners that can really cover. Coach Mac has obviously made a huge difference there.

more than what tcu has done to deserve that ranking

TCU beat Texas Tech on an absolute fluke play. I don't think they're even good, much less top 5.
Right now, I'd go

1. Ohio State
2. Utah
3. Baylor
4. A&M
5. Bama

We've played three top 20 teams. That has to count for something.

OK, they beat a team with a better resume - can you agree with that?

I will give you ole miss's luckfest against us is better than UGA's victory over usce, but I don't really think it warrants Florida jumping 20 teams in one week for beating a team that everyone deep down knows should be sitting with 2 losses.

Ole Sissy jumped like 12 teams, just goes to show people need to be careful with their 'Knee-Jerk' reactions!

Yeah their DB's have come a long way since trying to cover 'AC' last year!

One team that deserves more credit than they are getting is Northwestern. They have the best resume through five weeks of all the Big Ten teams. They already have wins over Stanford, Duke and Minnesota.

I put them there based on what they've done this year. Previous rankings are irrelevant to me, otherwise I'd still have a very average OSU and MSU in there. One change I might make is to swap out TCU for A&M (I keep forgetting about them).

Utah is looking less impressive every time Oregon plays

Utah also beat Michigan, who is looking more and more impressive as the season moves along.

1. Baylor
2. Ohio State
3. LSU
4. Michigan State
5. Utah

Bama, TCU, and Utah are in the mix

I want Florida, LSWho, and Tex A&M ranked ahead of us! (now) Cause they on the schedule (or possibly in the SEC Championship). I do not want to be ranked 4th towards the end with an undefeated Ohio State behind us. I've seen how that can turn out.

One game at a time and RTR!!!

Agree with this; each is undefeated and in particular we're next on TAMU's schedule with a bye next week and they're still smarting from the 59-0 smackdown last year and we travel to Kyle Field for that one.

Can't see any PAC-12 team in top 5 as of yet, not even sure about top 10...Utah win vs Michigan looking better and better...
I'll go with:
1.-Bears (ummm which one)
2.-Utes (there's only one of them)
3.-A&M (There is more than one of these)
4.-OSU (there's also more than one of these)
5.-Bama (only one of these guys & gal's - Roll Tide)
6.-LSU (they did beat hail-state, but so did A&M)
7.-MSU (there's more than one of these also, but I'll go with sparty!)
8.-Gayturs (the UT win don't look all that great now, and just how good is that ole sissy win?)

In other words pick who you like, 'cause it just don't matter for now! How good is our win vs. Wisky now?
Just how good are any of these teams wins?

I had completely forgotten about that.

They also decimated the team that beat us so add this to their 5-0 record. So you're right about them being ranked ahead of us right now. That may not be the case, say, in week 8 or 10 as the season progresses for both teams. Rankings are fluid. This was one thing that was missed by most fan bases in the first year of the 4 team playoff. The discussion we were having in weeks 4, 5, 6 turned out to be different than the outcome of the 4 teams. Very few, this time last year, would've had OSU making the playoffs much less winning it all.
