Here was my top 10 from this morning. There's also a line about how they can improve. It's probably different now, though if USC comes back to win this game, they deserve to be where they at.
1. Oklahoma-um...give up less points? Tough to find anything yet...but they haven't played anybody either.
2. USC-join the Mountain West, improve the SOS.
3. Florida-offense, offense, offense: isn't that supposed to Urban Meyer's specialty? It hasn't looked like it so far.
4. Georgia-pass defense looks a little suspect. Good thing they play in the SEC and won't have to worry about it, EVER.
5. LSU-must repeat that 4th quarter performance from the Auburn game AT Florida a few games from now.
6. Missouri-play somebody! An overrated Big 10 team doesn't count. Defense hasn't looked great against sub-par competition (55th in scoring defense).
7. Alabama-punch it in in the red zone. Way too many field goals inside the 20, especially given the level of competition.
8. Texas-the game starts at the opening kickoff, don't wait until the second quarter to show up. That won't work in Norman, not even at Colorado or at Tech.
9. BYU-play half as well on the road as they do at home. They must dominate the next 2 games; win the games you are supposed to win, and win them big. USC, remember that next time.
10. Boise State-this may be too high for them, HOWEVER, look at the resume, RIGHT NOW. They have beaten a ranked team on the road. Very few teams can say that, in fact, Wake Forest is the only nationally ranked team not in my top 10 who can. Yes, they played a FCS team, but so did most other teams in the top 25.
After taking a good look at these teams, I think Florida has a real good shot at the national title, they will only play two more ranked teams (yes, in that powerful SEC, only two more, Vandy won't be ranked by the time they host Florida), one at home, one on the road. I would have said 2 hours ago that USC was a shoe-in too, but maybe not. Their conference isn't helping them out with their weak out of conference performance. However, if they drive down 98 yards in 3 minutes, and then win in OT, they will back to shoe-in status. Oklahoma gets their first test this weekend, maybe...
