Other than Cincinnati, the other undefeateds just didn't beat a lot of winning programs, so in addition to being undefeated as a criteria for playing for a national championship(5 schools) they need to show that they have beaten a decent stack of schools that have beaten a decent stack of schools. Give the undefeateds their props for a good season, but nobody is going to watch TCU/Boise, regardless of their perfect records, why? Neither of them has played a really tough schedule that gives any weight to the game. I think that any of the undefeateds has as good a chance as any other to beat Florida, but my unbiased poll agrees with this match-up based on strength of schedule. Texas belongs at #2.

Clearly not a dominant win, but a win nonetheless. AND, TCU didn't play last week. (I do think TCU got shafted by getting Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl; would be more interesting to see each of them play a "real" conference team, IMHO. When will Tressnak make an appearance?
