At this point in the season, things should not be this dead simple.
In the most recent CFN Top 10, LSU should be here. But, it plays Texas A&M this week, so it is possible that it will not be.
Even though a lot of players are hurt, Notre Dame is still playing well.
No matter how bad Miami is playing, it keeps winning. Tennessee is also not playing great, but it beat Alabama, and Texas… well…
If you have been reading us all year, you know that we have been making the case that Texas, among teams in the high-rent area, might be one of the most overrated and overvalued groups out there.
Oh, there will be more big fights and changes soon. For now, though, here are our top ten picks for Week 9.
