I'm too into Season 1 of Lost to write out complete commentary, but I'd be more than happy to answer anyone's questions on the rankings. Feel free to comment in any way manner you wish.

Ohio St. should not be in the top 10 at 3-2. And yes I know those 2 losses were to unbeaten Texas and Penn St. and both were close. That said, they haven't beaten anyone notable.

[Guest I miss Test.]

Ohio St. is way too high. Cal should probably drop some. I don't care about the rest. This is a boring college season as all the mid-majors already have no shot of being ranked.

Yeah, I don't like having Oio State that high either. The problem is that there's really no one else to put above them.

 

UCLA's beaten one team of note, and they probably wouldn't have even won if they were playing on the road. Michigan State really hasn't done much either with a loss to Michigan that looks even worse now, and only one real win to show for their season. Florida lost their last real game by 30, and didn't exactly look sharp this week either.

 

In principle, I'd certainly like to drop Ohio State more, but with Wisconsin, Tennessee, and Michigan all losing below them, I just don't see anyone else that belongs in the Top Ten.

 

As for Cal, the game against UCLA was extremely well-played, and again they probably could have beaten them if they were playing at home. I still think they're better than Oregon, and I'm not going to reward Texas Tech over them for that debacle at Nebraska where they would have lost if that Husker LB would have just fell down after intercepting the ball.
