For all of you Alabama fans that are putting Ohio State #1, do you really think they are better than us right now? Ie, should they be favored over us if we played this week?
I don't understand why some many people are "resume is the only thing that matters" these days. If you think one team is better than the other, rank them that way.
I think they are the best team in the country right now, so yes, I guess that means I think they are better. Their defense is playing very well. Ours is not, even against bad offenses. I think our offense is a lot better than theirs though. In a hypothetical match up today, I think its a toss up.
I think LSU's offense is right with ours, though they haven't played a defense yet (that will obviously change next weekend). Our offense has a history going beyond this year, so I'm confident ours is better, but you can't ignore what they've done so far. LSU's defense is a huge unknown. They've played horrible some weeks, and good some others. But to me they are solidly in the top 4 right now.
It gets murky for me after that. I'm not sold on Georgia. Something is off with that team and I think it's going to bite them sooner or later. I think Oklahoma, with the Jalen factor, would beat Georgia right now. So I rank them 4th.
Florida has proven more to me than Clemson or Wisconsin, so they get the nod over those two. Were I to rank Wisconsin and Clemson, I'd have the Badgers 7 and Clemson at 8. A good team would destroy Clemson right now. They just look like a team that is fat, happy, and satisfied.
