That being noted; I will stipulate my list by virtue of wins. In esse, lose a game you're name no longer appears on this list. That is, until said team wins enough competitions to elevate themselves into worthy position, and all other programs which may replace such school, have also lost there way off of this list.
This is a top 15 list. I feel to do a 25 ranking poll would be arbitrary as, right now, the talent pool & separation of teams, seems to meld right around 12 or 13.
As well; many of these teams could just as easily be swapped in position without falling from the list. Presently, this is who I feel belongs ranked.
With that, here is my current top 15:
1.) Florida State
2.) Stanford
3.) Oklahoma
4.) Arkansas
5.) Alabama
6.) Oregon
7.) Wisconsin
8.) Virginia Tech
9.) Boise State
10.) Iowa
11.) South Carolina
12.) Notre Dame / USF
13.) Texas / Nebraska
14.) TCU
15.) West Virginia
I believe it is justifiable to double up some of the rankings at the moment; seeing as several of these teams will be playing each other, and so, things will all settle themselves with time.
Especially with regards to #12, as Notre Dame & FSU play one another in their season opener. The simple solution is; the winner is ranked 12, the loser is no longer viable.
