Once again, it's bloody impossible to work out what's going to happen atop the BCS/AP/BSC standings.

We've still got SEVEN unbeatens, which is almost unheard of going into the final games of the season.

The good news is that one of those unbeatens will definitely be knocked off by season's end; the Florida vs Alabama SEC Championship Game is looming large (although 'Bama still have to play LSU (so let's not count 'em in just yet)), but that still leaves six.

Here are our rankings so far.

 

1) Florida

Survived against Arkansas and Mississippi State, and then hammered the non-tackling school known as Georgia.

 

2) Texas

The form team of October, Texas looks unbeatable in the Big XII, which isn't that hard if you consider what that conference is like now (especially the Big XII North, which truly sucks).

 

3) Alabama

The offense is sputtering. The defense is fantastic. Stop Mark Ingram and you give yourselves a chance, Tide opponents. Look for LSU to allow him three TDs and 700 yards, then.

 

4) Boise State

They've beaten Oregon, who've beaten USC and Cal.

 

5) Iowa

Heart attack central every week, but it's a lot of fun. The heart attacks may turn to despair against Ohio State, though. But then again, didn't we say that about the trip to Happy Valley?

 

6) Cincinnati

It doesn't matter what QB the Bearcats have, they can put up points.

 

7) TCU

The road victories at Clemson, BYU, and Virginia are beginning to look less and less impressive. But don't get us wrong...these Frogs are GOOD.

 

Who's Going to Lose First?

Half of me thinks Alabama could lose first this weekend in their monster rivalry game at home to LSU, while the other half thinks Iowa will walk into The Horseshoe and lose.

We'll go with Iowa, simply because we flipped a coin and it came out that way.

But if you aren't keyed up for Alabama and LSU's get-together after this video, you don't have a heart beat.
