Mike, here is my top 4 who I think are playing the best and how they should be ranked till this point.
1. Oklahoma
2. Bama
3. Clemson
4. Iowa
Damn guys just having fun and keeping this boring thread fun.
Man you guys take shit way to serious except for J. He gets it.

Here's a scenario:
#1 - Oklahoma
#2 - Michigan State
#3 - North Carolina
#4 - Ohio State
Now hear me out cause I don't see this happening, just throwing out a "worst case" scenario. Florida beats Bama (won't happen, but could) and no way the committee takes a 2 loss team. Although, I could still see them taking Florida due to the SEC bias that clearly exists. The Tar Heels beat Clemson and all of a sudden, you have a host of quality one loss teams to choose from. No one travels like Ohio State and with their only loss being to the Big10 champ, they look better than Clemson.
That said, here's what I see happening...
#1 - Clemson
#2 - Bama
#3 - Michigan State
#4 - Oklahoma

1. Oklahoma
2. Alabama
3. Clemson
4. Michigan State.
If Alabama doesn't fix the glaring holes in their defensive line against the run they won't be much of a match for Michigan state and certainly not Oklahoma. Auburn ran the ball down their throat last weekend and auburn couldn't run from a poodle. Combine that with their failure to capitalize on the red zone leaves tons of room for concern.
I look for Oklahoma to be the champs. That team is clicking on both the rush and pass and playing solid textbook football. Even their D is a solid force to be reckoned with.
Outside of the Xs and Os they're a team. They interact well, motivate their teammates, and operate as a team. They have the team spirit and drive to go all the way. In my opinion that is the number one strength when it comes to winning ball games. You can take a bunch of half ass talent (of which they're not) and win it all if the team unity is there.

Or in OSU's case, take tons of unbelievable talent and NOT have the team spirit. . . Then you don't make the playoffs. Sad to watch as a Buckeye fan. It is college football. Anything can happen. Good luck to all. Should be some exciting games to watch no matter who is playing. I don't see one clearly dominant team anywhere this year.
I think if Clemson, OU, or bama lose a conference game, OSU is in there. It's not good when you have to hope on a team or 2 t lose to get in. But hey, we'll take it! That UM game really helped us alot, and it's I can seriously see Clemson losing to UNC. Only time will tell.

Oklahoma looks like the best team in the country. I don't think Clemson or Bama will lose. Florida is over-rated.
You guys give MSU too much credit. They lost to Nebraska, michigan shit down their leg, and OSU, well, I'm still not sure how they gave that game away. Any team with a pulse of a passing game will destroy MSU's secondary. I still see Iowa beating them
OKlahoma's defense is Hot Garbage. The best team in the country is Ohio State. They just fucked around all year and gave it away against MSU.
