Jeff Sagarin’s computer has the top six college football teams thus:
1. Texas (11-0)
2. USC (11-0)
3. Penn State (10-1)
4. Ohio State (9-2)
5. Virginia Tech (10-1)
6. Notre Dame (9-2)
If I understand Sagarin’s methodology correctly, the first two are in a class by themselves and evenly matched. The next three teams are also evenly matched. Notre Dame is in a third echelon.
Texas (Colorado), USC (UCLA) and Virginia Tech (Florida State) play next Saturday. The other seasons are complete.
LSU is 11th. They play Georgia Saturday.
