Looking forward to Ohio St v. IU B1G Championship game.

There doesn't appear to be a dominant team so far this season. IU has the best resume' it seems, OSU may be the most talented but haven't been tested by a good team and I'm not sold on undefeated Texas A&M at this point. A&M will probably play for the SEC Title and they may only be the 4th or 5th best team in the conference. 

Indiana at #2 is probably "right" for now, but there's no way I pick them to beat Alabama or Georgia if they played today. 

I'm also not buying A&M at #3.

The big problem with A & M is they do not play  Alabama, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Georgia, Ole Miss or Vandy.

That is a heck of a lot of the top tier of the SEC they do not play.

Also they avoid the UK Wildcats this season.

?good one!

I can be counted with agreement with everyone else about Texas A&M. 

If A&M go into Baton Rouge this weekend and handle LSU comfortably, then I’m all in.

And no one else. Notre Dame’s relevance this season is still a question in my opinion.

Don’t know if I would be all in, but I would definitely consider them more of a threat.
