My Top 25 Poll: November 15th

We're getting closer and closer to the end of the year, and the undefeated teams are still fairly large in number. Considering most of them are from different conferences, there's a distinct possibility that we'll have several undefeated teams at the end of the season. The good news is that two of those undefeateds could possibly be mid-major teams, so their argument for a title is pretty flimsy. We all know what happens when Boise State plays in a bowl game. However, the interesting thing will be to see what happens with Cincinnati. They have a pretty good resume, but the stigma of playing in the Big East will likely catch up to them should the SEC winner and Texas both go undefeated. I say all that to say this: enjoy my Top 25 this week.

1.) Florida
2.) Texas
3.) Alabama
4.) TCU
5.) Cincinnati
6.) Boise State
7.) Georgia Tech
8.) Ohio State
9.) Oregon
10.) Pittsburgh
11.) LSU
12.) Iowa
13.) Wisconsin
14.) Penn State
15.) Oklahoma State
16.) Stanford
17.) USC
18.) North Carolina
19.) Virginia Tech
20.) Clemson
21.) Miami (FL)
22.) Arizona
23.) Oregon State
24.) Utah
25.) BYU

It appears that nobody wanted to be ranked today outside of Stanford and North Carolina. If you look at last week's rankings, 6 of the Top 20 lost on Saturday to teams ranked below them. Yeesh. These things have a way of sorting themselves out, though, so we'll see what goes down next week.
