Utah Still #1; Baylor 3rd, TCU 5th, OSU 9th, OU 10th, Texas Tech 25th.

Utah continues to get the #1 position in my personal Top 25 list of college football teams.  The Utes beat a good Arizona State team at home Saturday night to hold the top spot.  LSU moved into 2nd with their win over previously unbeaten Florida with Baylor a strong third after a dismantling of conference foe West Virginia.  Clemson and TCU round out the top 5 with Big Ten powerhouses Ohio State and Michigan State close in 6th and 7th.  (yes, I am top heavy toward the Big 12…….they are deserving currently)

My current Final Four, the teams that I think will play for the National Championship are:

1. Clemson (undefeated)

2. Ohio State (undefeated)

3. LSU (one loss)

4. Utah (undefeated)

First out:  Michigan State (one loss) followed by others considered: Baylor, Alabama, Notre Dame.

Best performance of the week:  Memphis, Oklahoma

Worse performance of the week:  Michigan

Best individual performance of the week:  Paxton Lynch, Memphis
