    LSU would not make my top 15. LSU has one victory over a Div 1A team with a winning record - a terribly mediocre South Carolina team.

    Yeah LSU at #15 is a little homer-esque at this point. If we beat Bama, okay, but playing the way we've been playing doesn't warrant a #15 ranking.

    Isl, perhaps you should make a note at the top that you are ranking them based on how they would play on a neutral field at this current time, not how the current poll system ranks teams.

    Somebody tell Bengal Buddy that Tulsa lost.

    There is no one to put at #15. Everybody lost that was just behind us in the polls.

    LSU should be your 15th ranked team.

    Yeah, and thus the thread title "MY" top 15.

    Florida is the best team in the country. Bring on allcomers.

    Well, everyone's poll tomorrow will be "their" top 25, but it will not be ranked the same way. ;)

    I followed, yet it seems to have caused confusion. I do agree with your #1.

    I wish voters would think outside the box.

    For instance, if you look suspect in beating a mediocre team, maybe you should drop. A dominating win over a very good/great team, maybe you should jump teams with the same number of losses.

    I wouldn't mind seeing TTech pass Penn State. That would make me proud. That would show me the voters are starting to "get it".

    Bama climbed the rankings way too fast, and thus should not be nearly as high as they are. They have no really great win as Clemson and Georgia don't look so good.

    The polls come out too early, that is the problem and it is what causes this mess, obviously.

    This I definitely agree with.

    Let the polls come out the same week as the BCS.

    I sincerely believe Florida will win the MNC this year. I predicted 48 points against Georgia - missed by one point. No team could beat Florida at this point. BTW, this is how I see it. It in no way changes the fact that CUM is is about a likeable as a frieghtened skunk.

    Florida should be sitting top 3. I can see Florida and Penn State making it to the title game, and Florida putting up 50+ on them.
