The jury is still out on OU, but given the alternatives, I'd say they are currently worthy of the number 1 spot.
People who voted for Alabama in the 1st or 2nd spots should pack up and move to Mexico, because they know football about as well as you do down there. Go debate with Javiar and Jose, they might have some meaningful insight for you. Are you kidding me? Since when did beating an overrated team catapult another team above other good teams? Don't get me wrong, I am all for the resurgence of traditional powers, and they probably deserve to kick *ss since they were wronged by Frantastic Franchione and humiliated by Mike Price, but they will not be worthy of the number 1 or 2 ranking for at least another month- if they dominate LSU. The schedule between now and then is cake- Ole Miss and Tennessee are the "big changes".
I will remain silent on the others in the top ten, because there are too many overrated teams in there to even warrant discussion- but I will say this, USC lost a game it should have won, but are you telling me that USF, UG, and BYU are better than them. Understand that I am not a Left Coaster in fact I hate the Pac-10, but let's be realistic, those three teams would get their butts handed to them by the Trojans.
I am still curious as to how good Texas Tech and Mizzou are, but that should all work itself out.
That's my rant, thanks to the folks who put this together- kudos. You are a testament to college football fans everywhere.

I can't use spell checker properly- it should say biggest challenges
I think Mizzou is going to be for real, they were pretty legit last year and Chase Daniel is putting up crazy numbers. Texas Tech...don't have high hopes for them and I expect a plummet coming out of Lubbock soon.
Probably what helped Alabama the most was beating a Georgia team that just trounced ASU in front of a national TV audience. Now if you follow football enough you're going to look at ASU and say that they aren't that great of a team, but Pac-10 apologists are trying so hard to defend their conference that they need to inflate teams below USC (Oregon, Cal, ASU). Do I think that Alabama will put together a good season? Probably so, but that's probably for another post.
