The GMs NCAA FB Top 10

There is a lot of debate right now about whether a one loss SEC or Big 12 team should jump Penn State and play for the national championship. There is even a poll on ESPN asking everyone to vote. Right now it is 63-37 against a one loss team in the Championship over an undefeated team. And the only places where it is opposite....Big 12 and SEC states.

Two things here:

Don't punish Penn State for Ohio State's shortcomings. And don't give me that who did they play because the non con schedule is pretty much the same (maybe better) than any Big 12 team except maybe Oklahoma and definitely any SEC team.
Does this really matter? Do you really think Alabama and/or Texas Tech will go undefeated? Alabama may get by LSU but what are the chances they beat Florida in the SEC title game? Not good. And TT is probably going to lose this week at home to Okie State.

So really the question should be:

Does a 1 loss USC team deserve a National Championship slot more than a 1 loss Big 12 or SEC team?

Cause that is going to be the debate forthcoming!


On to the top 10:

1. Alabama (2) 9-0 - They handled a Sunbelt team this weekend which is exactly what they should do. Texas losses than the #2 team jumps up. This week @ LSU is huge for them.
2. Penn State (3) 9-0 - The only reason they are ahead of Texas Tech is because Tech needed a last second play to win at home AND because believe it or not....their non con schedule is better.
3. Texas Tech (5) 9-0 - A very good team that has played a soft schedule to date. Okie State and Oklahoma await. If they win out...they will be #1 or #2.
4. Florida (6) 7-1 - A great win against an over rated Georgia team. They are possibly the best team in the country but they will need help to get the the title game.
5. Texas (1) 8-1 - It took a last second prayer to beat them on the road. A very good team with a slightly below average defense. Still have a chance but now they need help.
6. Oklahoma (4) 8-1 - They really only fall because the rest of the teams were more impressive. They still have the chance to prove themselves but they are not really in the title talk anymore.
7. Oklahoma St (8) 8-1 - A good team that took Texas too its limits a couple weeks ago. They get another shot at an undefeated team this week in Lubbock.
8. USC (9) 7-1 - They beat up on a bad Washington team....so? They are still a huge question in my eyes. Their offense isn't very good and the defense looks good against a BAD conference.
9. Boise St. (-) 8-0 - They are only ahead of TCU based on their win @ Oregon and that they are undefeated. But I think TCU is the better team.
10. TCU (10) 9-1 - Huge game this Thursday against Utah that will either decide the conference or will make things even more complicated.

Almost There:

Utah 9-0 - A good team that has yet to beat a good team. See TCU for this week's importance. They get to prove themselves 2 more times this season....they need to show me something.
Missouri 7-2 - It will take a lot for them to get back into the top 10 but they could do it. They also need to keep winning and get to the Big 12 title game.

Gone:

Georgia - BAD performance on Saturday. It was like they forgot to show up. It didn't surprise me but it did some people. They have failed to show up in two games against two good teams now.
