Another week, another number one team. I never had Oklahoma anywhere near number one, I just didn't think they were that good this year, and Missouri showed why. Missouri, on the other hand, is looking pretty dang good. Good offense, really good defense. If they can get by Nebraska on Saturday, they should run the table. Overall, I don't think there are anything near the top is clear cut, there are question marks with all the teams.
1. Oregon
2. Boise State
3. TCU
4. Auburn
5. Alabama
6. Missouri
7. Michigan State
8. Utah
9. Wisconsin
10. Stanford
11. Ohio State
12. Nebraska
13. Arizona
14. Iowa
15. LSU
16. South Carolina
17. Oklahoma
18. Virginia Tech
19. Arkansas
20. USC
21. Florida State
22. Oklahoma State
23. Miami (FL)
24. Mississippi State
25. Nevada
Heisman Top 5:
1. Cam Newton
2. LaMichael James
3. Andrew Luck
4. Denard Robinson
5. Justin Blackmon
How I arrive at my top 25 results:
I analyze the season results of each team under top 25 consideration each week, and start to rank teams without looking at any other polls, including mine from the previous week (although I do look at mine and the AP/Coaches before finishing to see if I forgot anything). For example if I have team A ranked at 15, team B at 20, and team B beat team A by 20 points a couple weeks before, I re-evaluate things. Then I simply check to see if it all makes sense based on head-to-heads, common opponents, etc.
The bottom line, though, is this: Who do I think would win in a neutral site match-up between teams? If I think one team would beat another, the team I think will win will be higher in my rankings. You won't find that in most polls.
