You didn't even put up a list of your own first off, and second - I'm not going to carbon copy the same list eveyone else has. I'm not an expert, but the teams that I have seen that looked the best to me are on my list. Your objection is duly noted.

Close loss on the road. Their performance against USC, also on the road, was light years better than Oregon's performance against USC, which was at home.

I'm interested how both you and the other poster can leave Fresno totally off your list.

There is a huge difference there. When two teams are RIGHT next to each other, and one beat the other head-to-head, I'm likely to switch them. But you can't ALWAYS have a head-to-head matchup correcting everything without screwing everything up. But that screws up nothing.

The reason I don't have Fresno on the list is I have little respect for Oregon. With Fresno, you can really only look at 2 games to judge how good they are, which are both losses. Oregon has snuck by some of the crappiest teams in the Pac-10. So perhaps they would be 11? Or bump off Auburn?

Tough call.

Was running out of teams. I'm pretty confident in my top 6, beyond that, a little shaky.

I think you vastly overrate Miami if this is what you really think.

Re: You rate your top 10 NCAA Teams
 

They have lost 2 games to decent (not great) teams. They have played well against some very good teams. They'd eat Fresno alive.

Re: You rate your top 10 NCAA Teams
 

Oregon has lost only one game, and has been playing for almost half the year without their starting QB. They deserve some respect . Sadly, I think they're going to get a lot more attention next year due to the media jumping all over Ryan Leaf's little brother.

I don't want to put words in wingo's mouth, but... Their loss to Florida was w/o Shockley, and their loss to Auburn was total B.S. They outplayed Auburn.

Georgia is the best 2-loss team in the country.

7-10 looks like a gigantic clusterfuck to me, and I can't make heads or tails of anything. I think ...

Miami
Auburn
Virginia Tech
Alabama

... are the nest best four, but I have nothing on which to back that up, so don't ask.

I still can't figure out why everyone is on ND's nuts. They played a close game against USC. So did ASU? Should they be #4?

It might have something to do with the fact that they have a competent offense, unlike a fair number of the other teams on these lists.

Perhaps I am (I think most of us are to some extent, without meaning to be). I think any one of those teams in my top ten (eleven) would beat Oregon on a neutral field if they played them (including Fresno State if they played again). That is how I measure top teams. FWIW, Oregon would be 12th.

Re: You rate your top 10 NCAA Teams
 

Just so Clark's head doesn't blow up, I will point out that I'd have Fresno State #11. (And Michigan #12.)

Come on. It's obviously NOT absurd that everyone has USC.

Oregon is at least debatable. I had trouble with # through #11. I just don't think Fresno State is better than Oregon, though I think it's close. I don't know what else to tell you. For the record, I think that compared to most people, I care a lot more about margin of victory and trust certain computer rankings more.

If I had to group the twelve teams I've mentioned so far, I'd group them thusly.

1 2
3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10 11
12

Then how do you like Oregon more than Fresno when Oregon got massacred at home by USC, while Fresno nearly beat them on the road?
