This year, the picture is particularly muddled, as five schools have the potential to finish the season undefeated (Boise State, Cincinnati, Texas, Texas Christian University and either Florida or Alabama, who will likely square off in the Dec. 5 SEC title game). Why can't they determine who's best by - get this - playing each other on the football field...
