Tom's Top 11

article by Thomas Danielson, senior writer, secfootballpodcast.com

The classic upsets are upon us. Top ten teams in every poll across the nation are falling like flies. Is there anyone out there besides Phil Steele who can put together 10 teams that will stick? The Gators, Longhorns, and the Tide are about all that's left of the true steel. LSU is now #4 in the nation and public enemy upset No. 1. They will have to be luckier than lately to get through their next 3(UGA, UF, and Auburn). Cincy plunges into our top 5 as well with a 4-0 mark. Oklahoma seems to be right back in the National Title race. Iowa lands on the map with a resounding crash after upsetting one of the best teams in the nation on the road with a stingy defense. V-Tech rejoins the Top 11 after thrashing Miami, and the Canes will stick around right behind them with a chance to upset OU this weekend. The final two were a trial, and we ended up with Georgia and Auburn. The Bulldogs host the ever so clutch Bayou Bengals and Auburn travels to Rocky Top to keep their unbeaten streak alive. Most disappointing award this week is a tie and goes to Cal and Ole Miss.

Skake it up a bit! Love the article but my poll would look a little different? You can't possibly think LSU is the 4th best team in the country.

Who's playing better? Florida or Bama?

How about Auburn or LSU?

Miami still in the top 10? So you think the "swagger" is back? Please!

Here's my Top 10 Power Poll:

1. Alabama
2. Florida
3. Auburn
4. Texas
5. Iowa
6. Oklahoma
7. USC
8. Houston
9. Cincinnati
10. LSU

Auburn has not played anyone and neither has Meyer's Gators. You think Demp's will still be averaging 10 yds a carry in the thick of SEC play? Houston?! Cincinatti?! Give me a break.
