Oklahoma’s trouncing of Texas and LSU’s winning recipe over Florida in the Swamp have proved without a doubt that these two teams will challenge Alabama, Clemson, and Ohio State for the Final Four later in the season.\u00a0 Penn State also remains in the conversation with their win at Iowa and Wisconsin will give both the Buckeyes and Nittney Lions a run for the Big Ten title.\u00a0 Currently, I have these teams ranked like this with my current Top 25.<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n
