What is your personal new top 10 in NCAA Football and why?

Just for note.... if you live under a rock. Clemson and Kansas State both suffered blow out losses. Stanford escaped USC in triple OT, a bit of a controversy has arose due to the ref bumbling the video replay in the last second which would have given USC a field goal chance. Arkansas to rally past VANDERBILT in the 4th quarter to win by 3 points. Wisconsin lost in the last minute to Ohio State. Nebraska ran over Michigan State. Virginia Tech barely got by Duke with a 4 point win. South Carolina had a one score win over Tennessee. Texas Tech (yes the Tech team that knocked off Oklahoma on the road) was destroyed by Iowa State. Houston was losing 17-7 to Rice before they stromed back for a blow out win (thursday).

Good luck everybody because I bet everybody's 5-10 is completely different while the top 5 should be all the same teams in different order.

Update:

Additional info for the guy who bashed Boise State's schedule. I realize that by the end of the season the SOS index for Boise State will be horrible but as it stands going into this weekend Sagarin rankings (the ones ABC/ESPN use) said Boise had played the 3rd hardest schedule so far of undefeated teams. So yes you can bash the schedule at the end of the year but as it stands the SOS index they have justifies a top 5 ranking.

    1a. LSU- If they beat Bama, they will win the National Championship

    1b. Alabama- If they beat LSU, they will win the National Championship

    3. Oklahoma State- The only tough team they'll really play this year is Oklahoma, and both teams could score 50 points

    4. Boise State- I realize they appearently don't have the SOS of the teams, but according the a graphic ABC showed during Stanford/USC last night they actually had a tougher schedule than all but 2 of the undefeateds, even over Alabama and Stanford. They're also a team that just wins and is very consistent

    5. Oklahoma- Went on the road and SLAUGHTERED a previously unbeaten Kansas State team a week after losing to T.Tech

    6. Stanford- I wasn't that impressed with them last night. Yea they won at USC, but USC isn't that great a team and USC almost beat them. I think their defense was exposed last night.

    7. Oregon- They took a while, but they eventually started up against Washington State and won pretty easily. Their defense wasn't too impressive either.

    8. Arkansas- They were pretty lucky to leave Vandy with a win since their kicker pulled a Brotzman, I'm not too sure they deserve to be this high but there aren't any better suitors.

    9. Nebraska- Ever since the Wisconsin game and most of the Ohio State game, they haven't looked too bad. I think they're legitimate contenders in the Big 10

    10. Clemson- They played a good Georgia Tech team on the road, but they failed to stop their ground game, which is the only part of their offense. I still believe they'll win the ACC

    1. LSU - argubably the best team, who has beaten the highest ranked team (Oregon)

    2. Alabama - arguably the 2nd best team, who is getting a little help from the fact that they gave the defensively challenged Arkansas their only loss, as well as the offensively challenged Penn State their only loss.

    3. Oklahoma State - right now is cruising through the toughest conference in the country (Big 12).

    4. Stanford - great game last night against a USC team, who if they were allowed to be in the Coaches Poll, probably would have been a top 12 team.

    5. Boise State - still good, schedule kind of hurts, but they will continue to move up with undefeateds continue to lose.

    6. Oregon - Seem to be improving, but Darren Thomas may cost them another game with bad turnovers.

    7. Oklahoma - goes on the road and beats the 8th ranked team, in a game that wasn't close after halftime.

    8. Nebraksa - they jump high by beating a ranked opponent, and are helped by very lackluster performances by teams ahead of them.

    9. Arkansas - good offensive team, but are living on borrowed time if they continue with the slow starts. Thankfully for them, they are in the SEC, where they only have 2 tough games.

    10. Clemson - tough loss, that eveyone knew was coming at some point. Still a good team that will probably win the ACC.

    Boise State is unquestionably on the school soccer map, yet i don't evaluate them a very good ten group. specific, they could beat each group interior the WAC by utilising 50, yet placed them interior the SEC, and that they might not stand a huge gamble. look at who Auburn had to play this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. Bama, Arkansas, LSU, South Carolina, Mississippi State, Georgia. and that they beat all of them. Who did Boise could play? Virginia Tech (lost to James Madison) and Nevada (ooh, now it somewhat is a school soccer powerhouse if I ever heard of one.) specific interior the WAC taking part in sub par communities each week, they could have the skill to dominate. provide them good notch opposition each week, they could have the skill to sneak into the best 25. i'm not asserting that Boise can't beat a very good enormous convention group or TCU for that count number in a one-game scenario (because of the fact i've got seen them do it). I do exactly not think of they could do it on a familiar foundation.
