We’ve now reached that weird part of the season, where teams get shuffled around on the basis of everyone around them having done more. Sure, some teams have earned it on the field — you can make as colorable a case for Texas at No. 1 as you can FSU, ditto the Utes; does anyone think UGA is not a Top 25 team; are UNC and Duke for real etc?
But, really, after a third of the season, you are who your record says you are. And, after a road W at Clemson and a pasting of Top 10ish LSU, we’ll give the nod to the Noles, for this week at least.
