My semi-final top 25 college football teams

I don’t like it. I am convinced LSU/Oklahoma State would be a far more entertaining BCS Championship game than LSU/Alabama. But I have to admit that the title game will feature the two best teams in college football this year. I simply can’t get past the fact that Oklahoma State’s one loss was against a 6-6 Iowa State team while Alabama’s was against LSU. I was also chagrined by the ho-hum attitude displayed by all those members of the OSU team who were interviewed immediately after the game. So, for better or worse, here are my final Top 25 rankings until after the end of the bowl season. As usual, last week's rank is in parenthesis.
1.  LSU 13-0 (1)
2.  Alabama 11-1 (2)
3.  Oklahoma State 11-1 (3)
4.  Stanford 11-1 (4)
5.  Oregon 11-2 (6)
6.  Boise State 11-1 (7)
7.  Oklahoma 9-3 (5)
8.  Wisconsin 11-2 (13)
9.  Southern California 10-2 (10)
10. Arkansas 10-2 (8)
11. Michigan 10-2 (12)
12. South Carolina 10-2 (15)
13. Kansas State 10-2 (16)
14. Baylor 9-3 (18)
15. Georgia 10-3 (14)
16. Houston 12-1 (9)
