Top 10

Teams are still coming together, but everybody's got a Top 10 list, so why not us? (Coincidentally, the No. 1 reason not to do something: just because your friends are doing it.) Taking into account what they returned from last year - or didn't, in the case of Florida - and how they've fared the first two weeks of this season, I offer For The Love Of Saturdays' Top 10. This list is fluid, as college football's an emotion-driven game, and intangibles like home field, Homecoming, letdowns, lookaheads, rivalries and revenge mean as much - if not more sometimes - than matchups and series history. But having calculated these numbers based on the final scores and box scores for every Div. I-A team in the nation each week since 2002, I like to think my time isn't totally for naught. # Team (Power Rating) 1. Alabama (91) 2. Ohio State (91) 3. Oregon (90) 4. Oklahoma (89) 5.
