Pretty good list. I can't seriously argue with anything as, outside of SC highlights and a few games, I haven't seen most of the teams play. My sense is that you're giving a few teams extra credit based on history (LSU, tOSU, for two examples), but again, looks pretty good overall.

This is one of the difficulties I have with rankings--deserving vs best. Do you rank the teams based on how good you think they are or on what they've proven on the field?

I love going to games at neutral fields.....

The fans cheer for neither team. And the fan turnout is always evenly split, 50/50.

The refs do not come from any particular conference. All the bias and error that they have had all season long is magically wiped away.

Both teams wear special uniforms so that no team is designated the home team or the visiting team.

Neutral games are sweet.

I'd move Ohio state behind us. Other than that, I agree.

I know this won't be a popular stance, but:

BYU loses to:

Oklahoma
OK State
Texas
USC
Penn St.
Kansas

BYU beats:
Missouri
Florida
Texas Tech
Cal
Wake Forest
South Florida
North Carolina
Ohio State
Utah
Alabama
Georgia
Michigan State
LSU
Wisconsin
Vanderbilt
Auburn
Virginia Tech.


And yes, I know all the SEC teams are below BYU. I really think the SEC's lack of good QB play this year equates to them not beating pretty much any current top-15 on a neutral field.
