Move Oklahoma to 10th behind West Virginia and the top 10 look about right. UTEP????
To those saying that LSU has more talent than Bama and that Michigan is a mediocre team which they might be, the scores of the Alabama and LSU games were identical this weekend. The only difference was Alabama played a team ranked in the top ten and LSU played north texas. If LSU’s offensive line can’t keep north texas’s defense from knocking their quarterback out for a series what do you Alabama’s d is going to do? Just a thought for those LSU fans with hopes of being sec champs again.
