And the only reason the Top Ten looks ok for the SEC is they have Alabama ranked 9 with 4 losses...what a joke. The next 4 loss team is ranked 17.</p><table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>Conference</td><td>Preseason Top 10</td><td>Final Top 10</td><td>Preseason Top 25</td><td>Final Top 25</td></tr><tr><td>SEC</td><td>4</td><td>4</td><td>10</td><td>7</td></tr><tr><td>B10</td><td>3</td><td>3</td><td>6</td><td>6</td></tr><tr><td>B12</td><td>0</td><td>1</td><td>4</td><td>5</td></tr><tr><td>ACC</td><td>2</td><td>1</td><td>3</td><td>2</td></tr><tr><td>Grp 6/Ind.</td><td>1</td><td>1</td><td>2</td><td>5</td></tr></table><p></p><table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>Preseason Rank</td><td>Team</td><td>Final Rankings</td><td>Final Record</td></tr><tr><td>20</td><td>Indiana</td><td>1</td><td>16-0</td></tr><tr><td>10</td><td>Miami</td><td>2</td><td>13-3</td></tr><tr><td>21</td><td>Ole Miss</td><td>3</td><td>13-2</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>Oregon</td><td>4</td><td>13-2</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>Ohio State</td><td>5</td><td>12-2</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>Georgia</td><td>6</td><td>12-2</td></tr><tr><td>24</td><td>Texas Tech</td><td>7</td><td>12-2</td></tr><tr><td>19</td><td>Texas A&M</td><td>8</td><td>11-2</td></tr><tr><td>8</td><td>Alabama</td><td>9</td><td>11-4</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>Notre Dame</td><td>10</td><td>10-2</td></tr><tr><td>NR</td><td>BYU</td><td>11</td><td>12-2</td></tr><tr><td>1</td><td>Texas</td><td>12</td><td>10-3</td></tr><tr><td>18</td><td>Oklahoma</td><td>13</td><td>10-3</td></tr><tr><td>NR</td><td>Utah</td><td>14</td><td>11-2</td></tr><tr><td>NR</td><td>Vanderbilt</td><td>15</td><td>10-3</td></tr><tr><td>NR</td><td>Virginia</td><td>16</td><td>11-3</td></tr><tr><td>NR</td><td>Iowa</td><td>17</td><td>9-4</td></tr><tr><td>NR</td><td>Tulane</td><td>18</td><td>11-3</td></tr><tr><td>NR</td><td>James Madison</td><td>19</td><td>12-2</td></tr><tr><td>NR</td><td>USC</td><td>20</td><td>9-4</td></tr><tr><td>14</td><td>Michigan</td><td>21</td><td>9-4</td></tr><tr><td>NR</td><td>Houston</td><td>22</td><td>10-3</td></tr><tr><td>NR</td><td>Navy</td><td>23</td><td>11-2</td></tr><tr><td>NR</td><td>North Texas</td><td>24</td><td>12-2</td></tr><tr><td>NR</td><td>TCU</td><td>25</td><td>9-4</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>Penn State</td><td>NR</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>Clemson</td><td>NR</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>9</td><td>LSU</td><td>NR</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>11</td><td>Arizona State</td><td>NR</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>12</td><td>Illinois</td><td>NR</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>13</td><td>South Carolina</td><td>NR</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>15</td><td>Florida</td><td>NR</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>16</td><td>SMU</td><td>NR</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>17</td><td>Kansas St.</td><td>NR</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>22</td><td>Iowa State</td><td>NR</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>23</td><td>Tennesse</td><td>NR</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>25</td><td>Boise State</td><td>NR</td><td></td></tr></table></blockquote><p></p>
