#1 Clemson
#2 LSU
#3 Ohio State
#4 Alabama
They almost got it right! :)

One thing for damn sure, at least one of those will not be there next week.

Congratulations to Daves Clemson Tigers, I finally agree on the #1 spot. 
We play our national championship game this Saturday, to Tiger fans beating Alabama is as good as winning the National Championship.
