My beefs:

Texas needs to beat someone. You know, a signature win. Beat someone you shouldn't beat.
I love the Irish.
I have no idea what to make of Ohio State. They're probably the class of the B1G, but we won't get to see them test their merits in a marquee bowl.
Louisville should be higher
Northwestern and Ohio? Please. I stand by A&M and ULM for now.

Fortunately, the Betas on this will tighten in the weeks to come. Your outrage in the comments, please.
