Texas at #1- I told you last week the winner of the Alabama-Texas game would be this week's #1 team in the country. The Longhorns dominated Alabama and deserve to be the top team in the country. The concern with teams like Georgia and Michigan is that they will lean on their preseason hype rather than the results on the field. Georgia and Michigan will not play a true top team in the country until November. The Longhorn will serve as the best in the country involving those teams close to them for a long part of the season.
You have 5 SEC teams ranked but 8 Pac 12 (Pac 10? Pac 2?) teams ranked? It's an odd part of ranking teams. What other team should be higher in the SEC? A&M? Mississippi State? So with 8 teams potentially ranked and more than likely 5-6 staying in the top 25 it seems likely that 1 team from the soon to be defunct conference could be playing in this season's college football playoff.
