Shocked Oklahoma didn't drop out of the top 15.

The top 11 teams I see excluding maybe A&M and ND would likely beat OU. OU should be in that 10-15 range for sure. Ole Miss and Michigan would also blast them.

Teams I'm confident would beat OU right now.
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Ohio St, Oregon

Michigan and Ole Miss I'm not sure what to think with them yet. Looked good so far. Would probably put them in group 1 though.

Teams with little to no separation. Depends on the day. Either have the talent but haven't played up to potential, played behind their talent, or are up and down already.
Clemson, Cockeye, Cincinnati, Penn St, A&M, ND, and Wisconsin.

Bottom line if you have a 16 team playoff 4 of the first group are in the semifinals. After that there isn't a hell of a lot of difference and really who cares. I'm skeptical Ole Miss is on that level but probably towards the top of the next level. Michigan so far looks like Harbaugh might get his first W over Ohio St. They haven't played anyone though either.

I would take Clemson, Cockeye, and Penn State to beat OU. Their physicality would ruin OU. Another team I believe would beat OU is Arkansas. I’ve been watching them. They are also very physical on both sides. That coach has surprised the hell out of me. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t think OU is total shit. I see them as a 10-20 type team. They might even run the Big 12 and make the playoff. If they do they will get abused again in the playoff.

That's fine. I'm not saying OU would win or lose. I'm saying out of that group if they played each other 10 times one team is 6-4 maybe. I'm not sure how you could feel strongly one way or the other.

Clemson should smoke all of them with their talent but they haven't played well yet. Squeaked by Georgia Tech.

Yea Clemson definitely leaves a lot to be desired on offense at this point, but their defense is elite. It will all play itself out anyways. I will say if we were still in the Big 12 the chances of going bowling would be a lot better.
