Any Baylor fan who was watching tonight, rooting for a Stanford loss, has to be incredulous that Stanford is ranked above the 59ers.  But with the Missouri loss, Stanford likely to be #5.

After seeing these teams play the last couple weeks, I don't agree with the rankings.  Miami shouldn't be ranked in Top 10, IMO.  OutsiderFan's Top 10:

1. Florida State
2. Alabama
3. Oregon
4. Baylor
5. Ohio State
6. Auburn
7. Missouri
8. Stanford
9. Clemson
10. Oklahoma

Baylor has demonstrated a great ability to run up the score on bad teams.  But until they play a decent team (which they will next week), it's silly to rank them #4.

Ranking Auburn and Missouri ahead of Stanford also makes no sense.  All three have the same record, and Stanford has played a significantly tougher schedule (look at any objective measure of strength of schedule).

Strength of schedule matters.  You seem to recognize that for Miami, but to be ignoring it for several other teams in your top 10.
