Charge on!
1. Florida State
2. Auburn
3. Notre Dame
4. Mississippi State
5. Ole Miss
6. Baylor
7. Alabama
8. Michigan State
9. Georgia
10. TCU
Hon. Mention: Arizona
The last 4 make me just want to throw my hands up. I think Alabama is a top 10 team based on the eyeball test, but no great wins thus far (though UF looks better). Michigan State lost to Oregon, who Arizona beat, but MSU has a decent win against Nebraska. UGA's loss to Carolina keeps looking worse, but they beat a Clemson team I think will win out this year. And Arizona has look horribly unimpressive otherwise. TCU at least played one good non-conf opponent in Minnesota, and then they beat Oklahoma. So I'm not convinced TCU is a Top 10 team, but I'm moving them in slightly ahead of Arizona for better performance all year. If Arizona keeps winning against the PAC-12, I'll jump them over the 1-loss teams.

Again.
1. Auburn
Don't feel strongly about anything else.
The Miss schools will both lose at least 2, likely 3 each. Book it.
Flazzu and Notre Dame face each other soon.
Baylor gon Baylor. Ask Mak.
I doubt we have an undefeated team this year outside of the winner of Flazzu and ND finishing off their pee-wee league schedule.
I think the Big XII champ will have one loss and get in (still Baylor and Oklahoma).
One of Flazzu and ND because winner of that game will be allowed to lose one.
SEC champ.
I think the Pac-12 is out because no one should have fewer than 2 losses. Oregon is the only real possibility since Furd is out and they beat MSU. They'd have to run the table which is very, very unlikely.
Same with BIG. Michigan State runs the table and they're in. Maybe tOSU? Maybe.
I would say second SEC team but the East is out IMO. Georgia should lose. Miss schools aren't sustaining. We could see both Bama and Auburn.
Or everybody could keep losing and it is even more of a complete clusterfuck.
All you mongs are going to be mocking the selection committee and pushing for MOAR TEAMS, I'm sure.

1. Auburn - this has more to do with FSU not looking as sharp than Auburn looking dominant. Though they only struggled with KSU iirc.
2. FSU
3. Miss State - I'm pretty impressed with them.
4. Baylor - defense is still looking better.
5. Michigan State
6. Ole Miss
7. TCU - was my Big 12 sleeper pick. Not surprised at all at how well they're doing.
8. Alabama
9. Notre Dame
10. OU
Next 5:
UGA, Oregon, Oklahoma State, KSU, ECU
2. FSU

I agree, but which of those teams have a legitimate chance to do so? There is one undefeated team left in league play, Arizona, and it took a hail mary for them to do be so. Conference play has just barely started. It's an absolute mess.

Back to the drawing board
1. Florida State
2. Auburn
3. Baylor
4. Mississippi State
5. Ole Miss
6. Notre Dame
7. Arizona
8. Georgia Tech
9. TCU
10. Marshall
Those are the 10 undefeated teams, and that's the order I rate them in. FSU is gonna be #1 as long as they don't lose a game. Auburn as defending SEC champ gets the benefit of the doubt for 2. Baylor as defending Big 12 champ gets the nod for 3. I like the fighting Dan Mullen's 2 conference wins better then Ole Miss' conference wins. I think ND has played a tougher schedule then Arizona, but its debatable, and Arizona has a better win so they could flip flop going forward. GT and TCU get in as undefeateds, and Marshall rounds out the group even tho objectively they don't deserve it and won't play a team to get them into the mix, I think the deserve one of the access bowl spots if they go undefeated.

ECU isn't going to finish with 1 loss.
Who are they going to lose to? The only possible loss I see is @Cincy and they just got curb stomped by Memphis.
Rutgers Mike
Dr. Sad
Just thinking no one is gonna finish with 1 loss anywhere. Except Marshall, since they play no one with a pulse and Florida State, cuz ACC sucks.
Rutgers Mike
Dr. Sad
Also, Marshall pushed their shit in last year, and they lost to Tulane. No one thought Louisville was gonna lose to Connecticut 2 years ago.
Renegade
Charge on!
ECU's toughest remaining games is UCF in Greenville and at Cincy. Cincy looks like garbage, but ECU struggles with teams that play disciplined defense like UCF and Cincy both typically do. We'll see, but if they win out, they should be in over Marshall easily. Hell, given that ECU plays maybe 3 games equivalent to Marshall's entire schedule of suck, I'm ok with ECU getting in for two good wins even if they drop a game to UCF or Cincy. Marshall is barely playing more than a 1-AA schedule.
I think Marshall loses @ Southern Miss or @ UAB though.

Fair. Either way, my poll was the 10 remaining undefeated teams because I'm lazy.
Where is Rutgers? 5-1!
Rutgers Mike
Dr. Sad
I post my top 25 on FOFC. Probably like 23 or 24 if I continue the poll the way I started here. I'm not sure how many power 5 teams have 1 loss to be honest. I know I'd have them behind MSU, tOSU, TTFP and Nebraska amongst the B1G one loss teams.
Rutgers Mike
Dr. Sad
Ok, so there are 25 one loss teams in cartel conferences, plus BYU and ECU that I would consider for a poll. Rutgers is probably around 23 or 24 of that group. So overall, probably about 34 or so right now.

Don't put BYU in there, they are done for the season. They will probably find a way to win 8+ games, but losing Hill for the season was losing the season.
Rutgers Mike
Dr. Sad
Ok, but that doesn't change where I'd have Rutgers amongst the 1 loss teams. Bottom 20% of that group. Doesn't matter cause we're gonna lose the next 2 anyway.

- FSU is the only undefeated team in the playoff.
- Baylor will get their shit pushed in by OU. I can't see Baylor making the playoff with 1 loss, but OU can.
- Taking the over of 5.5 loses for Ole Miss/Miss State/A&M going forward.
- Cant wait when two 2 loss SEC teams make the playoff.
