I don't think Oklahoma is that good a team in most other years. I don't like this Texas team either. Hell, I haven't even been impressed with Florida for that matter. Iowa is in the top ten and they barely beat Northern Iowa and Arkansas St. Cincinnati and Boise St in the top 10? Seriously? Anyway, I think that with Bradford healthy, they are undefeated now and in championship game position. I think they are better than Texas. I don't see Alabama or Florida slaughtering anyone in the title game unless it's Iowa or Cincinnati or TCU.

If they are #11 and beat Va Tech (and they did beat them pretty good) why wouldnt they be reversed?

It is splitting hairs distinguishing between #10 and #11 but GT doesn't break off a 39 yard run on 3rd and 7 and VT could have beat them at their home field. I think VT beats them at home and likely at a neutral site as well. VT has played a very tough schedule and that's why I rewarded them with the 10th spot. It's debatable that GT would even be 5-2 if they played VT's schedule.

Maybe but you said you ranked them on what they had done.
