Tuesday Top-25: Dr. Jeckyl/Mr. Hyde Edition

Here goes. First, the PC edition, taking into account the entire season and the merits of records and head-to-head competition.

1. Bama
2. Florida
3. Texas Tech
4. Texas
5. Oklahoma
6. USC
7. Penn State
8. Oklahoma St.
9. Ohio State
10. Utah
11. Boise St.
12. Missouri
13. Georgia
14. LSU
15. TCU
16. Michigan State
17. Pitt
18. UNC
19. FSU
20. Ball State
21. Cincinnati
22. BYU
23. SoCar
24. Oregon State
35. Western Michigan

Now, let's get funky! It's revolutionary this week, ladies and gents. I'm going gut feeling on who's playing best right now. No records in mind, just current level of play. And, realistically thinking about who would win the match up between the 2-3 loss teams and the BCS-buster darlings creeping around. Also, head-to-head be damned - it's about now, damnit! Here's what the top-12 would be:

1. Florida
2. Oklahoma
3. Texas
4. Alabama
5. Texas Tech
6. USC
7. Texas Tech
8. Penn State
9. Ohio State
10. Georgia
11. Missouri
12. Michigan State

It gets pretty ugly after this. Ball State and BYU wouldn't get in. Boise would be low and TCU and Utah would be in that meaty 18-22 part of the curve. That brings up some awkwardly placed teams. 6-3 LSU would still be fairly high. I mean, look who they lost to: 3 top-10 teams. Why would UGA still be so high? Well, look who they lost to: #1 and 4. Texas stumbled against a solid Texas Tech team; they were not defeated by a superior opponent. That's my take, and that's why the 'Horns are higher than the Raiders.

P.S. - You get another chance to watch Nate Davis tonight on ESPN2. It's a lot of fun.
