October 11, 201511 yr Looking at just this season's performances who would be your top 5 teams in college football. I was watching a college football program this morning and each panelist gave their top 4 and it was surprising as to who was and wasn't included... Current undefeated teams Clemson Florida St Baylor TCU Oklahoma St Michigan St Ohio St Iowa Toledo Utah Florida LSU Texas A&M Temple Memphis Houston Top 1 Loss Teams Duke Oklahoma Michigan Northwestern Boise St Notre Dame Stanford Cal Alabama Ole Miss So if you had been on Mars with Mark Watney and knew nothing about last year or preseason ranking and all you knew about college football was what you had seen this year...who would be your top 5 teams right now?
October 11, 201511 yr Author Baylor - scoring 60 points a game Utah - one of just 2 teams with a 2-0 record against ranked opponents this season Michigan - only given up 38 pts this season, only loss is to a ranked team 1st game of the season LSU - 2 words Leonard Fournette
October 11, 201511 yr Utah Baylor Ohio State LSU Michigan Ohio State may not have been the most impressive every week, but I think they'd still be worthy of a top 5 ranking. Utah has the best resume of any team. Michigan's loss to them doesn't look bad now and I'm not convinced Michigan might not be playing better ball than any team right now.

Although I could be talked into TCU over Michigan or Ohio State. I think Utah, Baylor and LSU are locks for Top 5 status as of today.
October 12, 201511 yr 1. LSU 2. Utah 3. Baylor 4. TCU 5. Michigan (bit of a homer pick, but they're just throttling everyone right now) Ohio State, Alabama, and Clemson on the outside looking in.
October 12, 201511 yr Sounds like the same OSU as last year at this point, weird. Yep, They will be fine. Both qb's looked good. Jones was hitting his receivers better, in stride and not under throwing. Barrett, I was glad that he got in and talk about contributing .....3 rush td's, ran the team excellent in the red zone. Personally, I think that Urban will work him in other areas as well. Zeek with another 100+ yds., it's has become automatic.
October 12, 201511 yr My top 5 "right now" ....... 1. Clemson (solid in every facet of the game) 2. Ohio State (looked much better offensively, imo about to put it all together) 3. Baylor (they score 2 td's in the coin flip before k/o!!) 4. Alabama (best defense in the country, imo) 5. LSU (solid in all areas, best rb in ncaa) (1 and 2 interchangeable) Next 5, in no certain order - Florida, TCU, Utah, Michigan, Michigan St. (team to watch - OK. State)
October 12, 201511 yr I will go with this, and mine is based on both right now and how I think it ends Clemson-Dabo Sweeney can still blow it Ohio State Alabama Baylor LSU/Florida Winner this weekend gets the 5 spot. LSU has played nobody, their QB is awful and it will eventually cost them IMO. When they play a team that can physically match up, going to have to do something other than hand it to 7. Same thing with Michigan. Cmon, they beat Northwestern in the first meaningful game in the big house since Carr left. Still have an anemic offense, take away their TE dump off and you eliminate their passing game. Hesitant to put Baylor up there, but TCU seems to be struggling.
October 12, 201511 yr Now with Grier out for Florida, I think Florida will be taken out of my top 5. Lol
October 13, 201511 yr Still blows me away that Duke is relevant in college football. Are they, or are they just a bi-product of a really bad ACC? I'm not sure, but I guess having a shot at playing in ACC champ game does make you somewhat relevant
