8 of those in the top 10 still look pretty good. Pull in 11 and 12, and it looks really good.

Look how many of them aren't even ranked though. I count 11 of 25.

They shouldn't even come out with polls until after game 6. Then again, they are in the entertainment business, so fat chance of that happening.

Yeah, but who could have guessed Georgia and Va Tech would have been such major disappointments? It's been a strange season.

Right now Oregon and OU are giving them the O face and it's deserved IMO.

Exactly which is why I tend to not believe these guys about 100% of the time :)
