Philosophy:  I just feel like stating this as I'm really fighting with myself on how to rank these teams.  There are 2 main ranking philosophies 1) based on who would win at a hypothetical neutral site game and 2) based purely on resume.  At this point in the season, it's very difficult as we're still comparing apples to oranges.  I truly believe the best 2 teams in the country are Bama and Oregon, but their resumes are very lacking.  That will certainly change as more games are played, but for now, it's hard to compare these teams.  To submit my ballot, I will use the resume approach.  If the teams all finish undefeated, Bama and Oregon will rise to the top.
1) Kansas State
2) Florida
3) Bama
4) Oregon
