November 7, 20169 yr I would hope so. :lol2: 3 top 15 teams on their schedule thus far....Who below them should be ahead of them?
November 7, 20169 yr Won every game they've played, and have three victories over top 15 teams. And who are the three? Edit: I assume you mean Colorado at 16, didn't see them.
November 7, 20169 yr Espn strength of record on the college football page has been a good indicator of who the top 4 are. This week they have Alabama Michigan Clemson Washington
November 7, 20169 yr Full disclosure of the top six.... Michigan's opponents: 42-40 Louisville's opponents: 38-43 Alabama's opponents: 49-32 Clemson's opponents: 45-28 Washington's opponents: 33-37 Ohio State's opponents: 47-34
November 7, 20169 yr Wouldn't OSU be the highest rated 1 loss team in that scenario? You are right. >Head to head is huge and OSU gets nod there. >MI loss at OSU is certainly a better loss than OSU loss at Penn St. Edge MI >Rutgers, MD, Mich. St., IU, WI all cancel out. Neutral >Northwestern & NE for OSU and IA & IL for MI are the different B1G opponents. Advantage OSU (but NE likely crumbles down the stretch and makes that closer call.) >2 cream puffs each (HI & UCF for MI and Bowling Green & Tulsa for OSU) and the out of conference difference comes down to @ OU for OSU and v. Colorado for MI. Adv. OSU >B1G Champ win. Adv. OSU Overall advantage, OSU by a wide margin.

Bama will skew even higher in this VERY imprecise measure (as if they needed the help) with 8-1 Chattanooga upcoming after 4-5 Miss. St.
November 7, 20169 yr I still don't understand Penn State. I understand Ohio State is a great win, but they weren't even ranked when they played that game. They were throttled by the only other decent team they played and lost to an average if we're being generous Pitt. The night they beat OSU it was a bad loss for OSU, but because they beat OSU it became a good loss and a good win for Michigan.

November 8, 20169 yr How I would rank them: 1. Alabama 2. Louisville 3. Michigan 4. Washington 5. Clemson 6. OSU This is strictly based on how good I think each team is and not taking into account record. From a fan of the game stand point I would love to Bama and Louisville play, just think that would be a fun game to watch. Bama has struggled in the past with athletic QB's so I think Lamar versus that D would be fun.
