1. Bama (But just wait until they get shocked in the Iron Bowl).
2. Michigan – They just keep winning
3. Washington – They just keep winning.
4. Clemson – [sigh] They just keep winning.

@HawkeyeElvis

This season makes me appreciate last season that much more.

1. Alabama – Crushing souls, dreams and your team’s offensive line one game at a time.
2. Michigan – I would LOVE to not be able to rank them next week. GO HAWKS!
3. Clemson – Cruising to the playoffs.
4. Washington – You KNOW the Dread Pirate Leach would love to sink these guys in the Apple Cup.

@IrishElvis

1. Alabama. Now they have the toughest schedule in the nation, so that’s nice.
2. Clemson. 2-0 vs current top-10 teams (Louisville & Auburn)
3. M******n. That Wisconsin victory is the feather in their cap.
4. Washington. Just be cool, Huskies…

1. Alabama – Not much trouble with the VoLOLs. Sidebar: You could replace any three SEC East teams with App State, Nicholls State, and East Carolina, and no one would notice a drop off in quality.
2. Michigan – I don’t understand why people are praising Ohio State for almost losing in overtime. Meanwhile, Michigan’s just over there, waiting to win the league.
3. Washington – Is Washington still undefeated? Didn’t they have a bye week? I confess I’m not sure. Those games just start so late, and I have a life (OK, not really).
4. Clemson – Goodness. It is not right that this team is going to win the ACC (come on, Clemsoning) and make it into the playoff. There are probably 10 teams that would beat Clemson right now, but that’s college football I guess.

@HawkeyeElvis

Hawkeye Elvis Top Four coming at you from my Black and Gold Jungle Room…

1. Alabama – I, for one, welcome our new SEC overlords.
2. Ohio State – C’mon. The Buckeyes beat Wisconsin by the exact same margin that Michigan did. And did it on the road.
3. Clemson – The Tigers always have that one game where you think they are toast and then they come out clean.
4. Washington – I really don’t see anyone in the Pac-12 beating these guys.

On deck – khaki-wearing led hooligans, Texas A&M(?), Bayl-hahahahaha yeah the Big 12 is getting shut out this year.

@IrishElvis

1. Alabama. Convincing road win over Tennessee bumps them up a spot.
2. Clemson. Shaky home win over NC State bumps them down a spot.
3. M******n. Bye Week to contemplate what a weird combination steak & milk is.
4. Washington. Because the loser of the Ohio State vs. Michigan won’t make the playoff.

1. Alabama – They dispatched Arkansas fairly easily, but they better not jump out 21-0 against Tennessee this week or it’s all over for the Tide.
2. Michigan – I’m kinda thinking Ohio State will struggle with Wisconsin, so I’m keeping the Wolverines here as my presumptive Big 10 Champion for at least one more week.
3. Clemson – I don’t like Clemson, but as long as they keep winning, I guess I have to keep them here.
4. Washington – Well, it looks like all those “Washington’s going to be good this year” predictions finally came true. Good job, Huskies.

@HawkeyeElvis

Iowa keeps the pig! I hope that’s not the highlight of my season. Hawkeye Elvis Top Four…

1. Alabama – Tide rolls. Vols will be interesting.
2. Ohio State – I think they will steamroll the Badgers as they look forward to the khaki-wearers.
3. Clemson – Shows no sign of Clemsoning anytime soon.
4. Washington – I don’t see an obstacle between them and playoffs.

On deck – Houston, a certain khaki-wearing coached team that I still refuse to acknowledge…..

@IrishElvis

Gonna switch it up a bit this week (and probably going forward) — taking a look at who they’ve played…

1. Clemson. 2-0 vs. top-10 teams. Not seeing too many other teams with that on their resume
2. Alabama. 1-0 vs. top-10, and 2-0 vs. top-30. Any arguments, Volunteers?
3. M******n. 2-0 vs. top-30 competition. I’m shocked they’ve played anyone that difficult.
4. Washington. Their only top-30 opponent was Stanford, but they looked mighty fine that evening.

Let’s just take a moment to bask in the futility that is Georgia Football… [inhale]… [exhale]… Yes. Delicious. We need to get us a Georgia Elvis in this thing. Hey, Readers. If any of you have a line on someone willing to A) dress as amazingly as we do on Saturdays, and B) admit they’re a Georgia fan right now, have them get in touch with us. Thankyouverymuch.

Now my Playoff Picks:

1. Alabama (or maybe Texas A&M?) – The SEC may be down, but it’s still the Gold Standard in College Football, so its champion will get into the playoff.
2. Michigan (or Ohio State) – Like the SEC, the Big 10 Champion will get in, and I think Michigan is a smarter pick… for now.
3. Clemson (or Louisville) – Some idiots are saying the ACC may get TWO teams in, but I’m sorry, no way that happens. There are enough Committee members from Big 12/ Pac 12 country who will NOT suffer the indignity of two ACC teams in the playoffs at the expense of a decent Western team..
4. Washington (or Houston) – Stanford wasn’t consistent enough so they blew their shot, and if Washington slips up too, only Houston stands in the way of a completely Eastern playoff field this year. But that’s what you get from a region where college football isn’t as important as hacky-sack, or whatever the hippies are doing these days.

@HawkeyeElvis

Well the Hawkeyes have gone from the penthouse to the outhouse. Nothing to do but keep on movin’ on.

1. Alabama – Can Bert Bielema pull off a shocker this week? Probably not.
2. Ohio State – Urbz is just rolling through his schedule. Nothing scary until the end.
3. Clemson – The way that Florida State has tumbled, I don’t see any more road bumps for the Tigers.
4. Washington – Wow. I had no idea that teams could shut down Christian McCaffery like that.

On deck – Houston, a certain khaki-wearing coached team that I still refuse to acknowledge…..

@IrishElvis

1. Alabama. This season, boring gets results.
2. M******n. Big matchup with Rutgers to impress the pollsters. </end sarcasm>
3. Clemson. Outlasts Louisville, shows some big-time flashes on both sides of the ball that will serve them well (again) come playoff time.
4. Washington nudges out Houston here because of their impressive performance against Stanford. Ok, it was a depleted Cardinal offensive line, but Chris Peterson’s squad has done it against decent competition all year.

Next up: Ohio State, Houston.
