What has Florida done to make them better than OK, Tex, TT or even USC? What am I missing? On the surface I could even hear an argument for Penn State over Florida. I just don't get it.

Your top ten is pretty boring, but we do answer the question "Texas or Oklahoma" emphatically: Oklahoma. This is far different than the results in the Coaches/Harris polls, which are virtual ties, and speaks to the poll's emphasis on overall resume as a guiding factor.
Much discussion of that, and the rest of the top 25, is available at CBS Sports.
