Pick your Top 10

"Idk if competition level is down, but its up, every team seams to be competitive this year, except for florida state.... " I was thinking more of the sloppy play by some of the top teams. It could be because they stated in September this year instead of August. Doesn't matter the better teams usually get it together in October.  

Even more truer to the point is, if you're GONNA LOSE, within the 1st four weeks is the best time too.

 Very true Masher! VT could be a beneficiary of just that.

They are a well rounded team and will rebound easily.

That used to be a lot more important than it is now.

2007  -  LSU lost to Arkansas on it's last game and then went on to win the SEC Championship and play in the NC game.

2003  -  Oklahoma lost to Kansas St. In the Big 12 championship game and went on to play in a NC game

2001 - Nebraska got crushed by Colorado in their last game and went on to play in the NC game.

 There are probably some examples of teams losing late and not making it to the NC. Penn State last year. 1 regular season loss.

The single most important thing is to be a media darling so that you will start ranked high, fall only a short distance when you lose, and rise like a p0rnstar through the ranks back into the top 10.

See OU, USC, OSU.

Which is why the rankings are a joke to begin with.

[alskahawk]

 Rankings at best are good guesses by supposed experts. However, since most of these experts IE; college coaches (and others) often delegate the responsibility of ranking the teams to an underling we end up with a very subjective ranking.  Media hype, school name and too many things that have very little to do with prowness on the field end up dictating the ranking system. This is a long winded way of saying; Rankings are a joke. But fun for us college football fanatics to look and and discuss.
