I'm offended that FSU was omitted in the OP.

Florida State is the best team in the nation right now. No one else's resume even compares at this point in the season. They've slaughtered two top 10 teams by a combined score of 92-28. The only other undefeated team to beat a top 10 opponent is Bama, who narrowly escaped A&M 49-42. In that one game, Bama gave up more yards total yards (628) than FSU did in both of their top 10 match ups combined (601). Bama hasn't been as dominant as Oregon or FSU, but will get a chance to flex this weekend.

Down the line, UO and Bama will get a chance to make better cases than FSU, but as of now, they can't say as much as the Noles can.

This is also why Ohio State isn't in the conversation yet. They've looked sloppy up until these last two games, despite not playing at the same level of competition as the teams ahead of them. Ohio State is lucky to be in front of Baylor right now (I retract this statement after looking at schedules). Ohio State is only ranked this high for the same reason Bama is: Last seasons success. e: and this should be obvious, because since the preseason poll, OSU has only moved down.
