    This is my list.

    1. Undefeated Alabama
    2. Undefeated FSU
    3. Undefeated Baylor
    4. 1 loss Alabama (i.e., specifically a close loss to LSU)
    5. Undefeated Ohio State
    6. 1 loss Stanford
    7. 1 loss Auburn
    8. 1 loss Missouri
    9. 1 loss Oregon
    10. 1 loss Miami
    11. 1 loss FSU
    12. 1 loss Clemson
    13. 1 loss Oklahoma State
    14. Undefeated Fresno State

    I am certain of #3. Positions 4 through 7 are murky, to say the least.

    I'm still not buying Baylor. I guess there's no use denying an undefeated Ohio State anymore, ugh,.. but do you really think Auburn and Missouri are top teams?

    Switch 10 and 11. FSU beat Miami (badly) head-to-head.

    I think it's spot on with the correction that @ehusson80 made.

    But if you have a one loss FSU and a one loss Miami it will only happen if Miami beats an undefeated FSU in the ACC Championship.

    What would suck is if we beat Alabama and those bastards still get in.

    Don't worry, Auburn is going to give them a second loss.

    That one was hard to figure since the only way Miami wins out is beating FSU. So if that's their only losses and Miami wins the ACC because of it, I can't see how FSU stays ahead of Miami in the human polls. In fact, they definitely would not.

    I'm buying Baylor because they showed me last night they have a legit top 10 defense. They also showed depth, when their premier RB went down and the 3rd stringer stepped in and ran for almost 200 yards. Another sign that this team is more than capable of going 12-0.

    The Big 12 is down this year and Baylor needs to take advantage of it. They are heads above the rest of this conference. They need to lay a whipping on each and every one of their remaining opponents. I think they will except for Oklahoma State. That's the one that could get them.
