College Football's Top 4 Teams
- Thread starter Blue_Chip
- Start date
If not Florida, then who? Also, I am not doubting USC, but voters should not be afraid to change their rankings early in the season, and thus far, USC has shown only a 38-10 win against Idaho. USC has a ton of talent, but I can see them having trouble getting it to work as a unit on the field.

Quick thoughts..
USC - I don't read anything into the Idaho game. Neb game will be telling.
LSU - Just barely behind USC for me. Definitely a gap between 2 and 3.
OU - Impressive to say the least, but want to see them on the road
FLA - If WVU could play D, then they would be here instead of Gators

I see USC, LSU and OU as a distinct top 3. I don't think anyone else belongs close to those teams.

3. OU
4. WVU
5. Florida
6. Rutgers
7. Texas
8. Cal
9. Penn State
10. Oregon
USC is only this high really on reputation and expectations. I did not see much at all against Idaho and we will really see how good they are against Nebraska this week.
My national championship matchup right now is LSU v. OU, but that assumes LSU escapes the SEC undefeated. As we all know, no matter how good a team is that SEC schedule can crush all hopes and all teams seem to have a great deal of parity.
I actually made Rutgers my #5 team before making some adjustments. I am very impressed by the speed on both sides of the ball and Teel has improved so much (at least against bad pass defenses of Buffalo and Navy). But due to Big East reputation and conference strengths, I downgraded them.
Cal, Texas, Rutgers, and Florida are all about the same, but I'll give a slight edge to Florida and Rutgers. Texas needs to show me a good 60 minutes of football to climb. Rutgers needs to play a good opponent (although Navy is close). Florida and Cal both have relied on their offense to win games so far and the defenses are suspect. We'll see if Florida's young D can handle Tennessee this week (I think they can).

The more I look at it, the more I agree with you. After LSU, USC, and OU, there is a gap in talent & performance.

Pretty much a regular
LSU
USC
OU
UF
PSU
And PSU is clinging to coat tails there. There is so much talent on the LSU, USC, Oklahoma and UF squads, it's not even funny.
