Looking at the two polls, looks like some extreme differences. Everyone has their own opinions but I expect to see some big shake-ups in the next couple weeks.

Ohio State has been winning pretty strongly. The defense is still suspect. But they look like the team to beat.

The Michigan/ OSU should drop out of national title contention b/c other one loss teams should have stronger strength of schedules. Michigan had some bad performances against teams like Vanderbilt, PSU and Northwestern. I expect Michigan to get handled and drop out of national title contention.

The Louisville/West Virginia loser drops out of contention. The winner doesn't make the championship game because their strength of schedule sucks. Rutgers would be a nice upset special, they are a good feel story but not that good.

USC and Texas both look very suspect. Their competetion continues to be sub par and they barely squeak out games. USC had this catch up to them FINALLY...to an off the radar Oregon State team. It will happen to Texas too. I expect USC to lose at least one game to either Cal or Notre Dame. And I also expect Texas to lose another one in the Big 12 Championship...maybe Nebraska, Missouri?

Whoever wins the SEC Championship possibly..Tennessee, Florida, Auburn or Arkansas will have a chance for the National Championship Game. All have one loss. And God do I hope it is Florida. Just get your offense together!
