10. Texas Longhorns

Texas may be one of the most over ranked teams in the nation. They are unbeaten, but they have not played anyone of any merit either. The Big XII season will expose Texas’s suspect secondary and an interception prone Colt McCoy.

 

11. Georgia Bulldogs

Unlike the Trojans, Georgia and Florida are pretty much eliminated from national title contention. First they must play each other and a two loss team will most likely not make a title game. Also Georgia must play at Auburn and LSU and will probably lose at least one of those games.

 

12. Florida Gators

A loss at home one of the worst teams in the SEC (Ole Miss) has killed the Gator’s title hopes. However, they are still a top team with elite talent and that is why they hang on in the top 15.

 

13. Boise State Broncos

Can two non-BCS schools crash the BCS party. With the strength of the Mountain West and Boise finaly beating a BCS school on the road with their victor against Oregon, the Broncos schedule sets up for another Fiesta Bowl appearance. The Broncos only remaining challenge is a home game against Fresno State which has not won on the blue turf this millennium.

 

14. Utah Utes

The Holy War looks like a playoff for a BCS bowl (or even national title) berth. However, USC killing Oregon State is coming to Utah on Saturday which may be a challenge for the Utes.

 

15. Ohio State Buckeyes

Beanie Wells came back on Saturday to aid Ohio State’s victory against Minnesota. Terrel Pryor’s composure ultimately will determine Ohio State’s standing in the Big Ten.

 

16. Auburn Tigers

Auburn continues to look unimpressive after three lackluster games (3-2 over MSU, losing to LSU, and scraping by a 1-3 Tennessee team), while continuing to struggle on offense. Auburn is on its way to its first Iron Bowl loss since 2001.

 

17. Oregon Ducks

The Ducks are down to their third string quarterback but have still persevered to a 4-1 record this season. Watch out for the Ducks when Justin Roper returns from injury.

 

18. Wisconsin Badgers

A disappointing loss to a down Michigan team has cost Wisconsin a national title chance.

 

19. Fresno State Bulldogs

The Bulldogs tie Utah with the most BCS wins for a non-BCS team since 2000 with a win at UCLA. The Bulldogs should cruise through the WAC until a big game against Boise State at the blue turf.

 

20. Kansas Jayhawks

Kansas has performed as expected so far this season. The Big XII season will prove Kansas’ viability.
