Of the top four teams FSU has played the weakest schedule. They have only played 2 teams with winning records and one of those was Wake Forest who stocked up on Div 2 opponents in their non-conf schedule. Their only major win was on a grossly over rated Clemson team who has only played 2 teams with winning records, 4-3 GA and FSU. So Clemson has only played to quality teams and lost one of them. That's a #3 Team? That's the basis of leap frogging FSU over Oregon and OSU?
Let's look at their schedules.
FSU has played two teams with winning records and are scheduled to play 3 more for a total of 5 games against winning opponets. By comparison OSU has played 4 quality games against teams with winning FBS records and has two more scheduled for a total of 6.
Oregon has only played 1 game against a quality opponent but has 5 more scheduled so they again will have a total of 6. If all three were to win out both OSU and Ore should be ranked ahead of FSU.
Alabama has so far played 3 quality opponents and has 4 more scheduled. So for the season that gives Bama 7 quality opponents, OSU -6, Ore - 6 and FSU - 5.
That's also a good argement that if that only two of these four teams are the only undefeated teams in the nation, they should play in the national championship game as no teams schedule is so dramatically more difficult that they sould get an opportunity with 1 loss...and yes, that includes Alabama too.
