I’ll take a stab at the Top 10:

```auto

Florida State (1) 3-0 5-0    
Auburn (2) 2-0 5-0       
Notre Dame (3) 0-0 5-0      
Baylor (4) 2-0 5-0    
Ole Miss (5) 2-0 5-0   
Mississippi State (6) 2-0 5-0  
Alabama (7) 1-1 4-1   
Oregon (8) 1-1 4-1   
Oklahoma (9) 1-1 4-1  
TCU (10) 1-0 4-0     

```

I feel least confident about TCU. It would be an almost unprecedented leap.

No kidding. There are years where the Iron Bowl is almost a playoff game. The winner goes to the SEC championship (and if they win _that_, a shot at the championship). But my God, this year it could be the Egg Bowl. Both of them still have to get through my Auburn Tigers, but still. Damn, both teams from Mississippi are very, _very_ good this year.

That never happens. Literally never. The two teams have never both been in the top ten at the same time.
