The regular season comes to a close. Ohio State and Indiana are the only two undefeated teams left. They face off in the Big 10 championship next weekend. Texas Tech finishes the regular season at 11-1 and ranked third in my rankings. Oregon finishes 11-1 and jumps up to my number four ranking. BYU, Georgia, James Madison, North Texas, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M all finish with 11-1 records as well.
The ACC is a joke as UVA and Duke will play for the conference championship. UVA basically played the bottom of the ACC this year and Duke finishes the season with a 7-5 record. Miami is the best team in the conference but will probably get left out of the playoff.
The SEC leads the way with 10 teams in my top 40. The Big 10 and Big 12 both have 9 teams, the ACC with 7 teams, the AAC with 3 teams, and JMU gives the Sun Belt 1 team.
