If you were to ignore all previous rankings and come up with a new set of rankings for the season after this past week just like the committee is supposed to do, what would your rankings be?

I would have:

1. Oklahoma: Just ran through three top teams in a row to win the Big 12

2. Michigan State: Followed their Ohio State win by destroying Penn State

3. Iowa: Unbeaten with wins over Wisconsin and Northwestern

4. Clemson: Unbeaten in the weakest power five conference with wins over ND and FSU

5. Ohio State: Defending champs with a three point loss to MSU in bad weather conditions coming off a dominating win over a solid Michigan team

6. Alabama: Loss to Ole Miss. Playing in arguably the second weakest power five conference. Best wins are Wisconsin and LSU

7. TCU: Losses to Oklahoma by 1 point and OkST. Coming off a good win vs Baylor

8. Northwestern: Wins over Stanford and Wisconsin with losses to Iowa and Michigan

9. Stanford: Wins over ND and USC with losses to Northwestern and Oregon

10. North Carolina: Unproven with a good record against bad competition playing in the weakest power five conference with a bad loss to South Carolina
