Nebraska Jumps Into the Top 10 After Beating Michigan State Saturday
Like pretty much every other publication out there, we like to compile our own lists concerning who the “real” top 25 teams in college football are. As always with these sorts of things, the list is completely subjective and was created with our own ideas of what makes a team “worthy” of their respective rank. Feel free to share any of your own thoughts in the comments below.

I think your picks are pretty legit. I often wondered was there anyone else in the world who thought that Nebraska should be ahead of South Carolina and Arkansas. I am a Husker fan and I am biased but I have reason to be. I like the fact that you have Houston at 13 and I have no problem or issue with your top 5.
Thanks. Yeah, after Saturday’s results, it seemed pretty obvious Nebraska’s head and shoulders above SC and Arkansas (after they struggled with inferior opponents). Never believed in the sequential promotion and demotion of teams in the rankings. Whoever is the best each week should be placed appropriately. No need to wait in line.
