    I wouldn't sleep on Michigan jus yet , Favorable schedule , they might upset Wisconsin in the Championship game ...:shock: Also , that doesn't suprise me that Big 12 is #1 . Oklahoma and Oklahoma state a have natinal title shot (depending they stay undefeated) . Baylor , Kansas State , Texas A&M , Mizzou , and Texas Tech could make a quality bowl and has a shot of winning them . Texas has improved but there season will depend if after this week aginst okie state ,(okie St. is shooting for 60 points to respond to OU's 55) , if the team gives up like last year and go 6-6 are if they rebound with a possible 8-4 , 9-3 season .

    Michigan is one of the most one-dimensional teams I've ever seen. Take the quarterback away and they're toast.

    They have the ACC ranked 5th. Oddly, in the AP rank, the PAC-12 is 4th, but in the computer rankings, the Big East is 4th.

    Each year that LSU has been at the top of the SEC, the media has claimed that the SEC has slipped. Its like they can't acknowledge that LSU is better... instead their competition is worse.

    Lsu, bama and on a good day the piggies will beat any team in the country. Auburn can hang with most top ten teams. I don't think any team from the sec east can win aginst a top ten team right now. Wisconsin,ou or ou state would beat every team in the east. I think the ducks would probably too. I feel outside of lsu and bama, Wisconsin is the third best team in the country.

    Bama & LSU should play in the BCSCG, regardless of the Nov 5 elimination game.

    I agree. I think Wisconsin is actually a legitimate NC contender. Solid lines on both sides and a very talented QB, they take the Big 10/11/12 easily.

    You just have to roll your eyes and/or laugh when you see this because it's like the talking heads never learn. The Big 12 has OU and Ok St, which are both offensive juggernaunts; when playing lesser teams. But, history has REPEATEDLY shown that, when match against SEC defenses, these offenses are rather pedestrian. They're still good and can still score, but they're always held to significantly less points and yardage.
