My New Football Top 25

All season long, I have considered head-to-head match-ups as a major criteria in my rankings. I am not going to change this week. However, if the real voters are going to leave Michigan ahead of ND in the standings, then they should be forced to retroactively vote ND the 1993 National Champions. Since they will be unwilling to do this, they have proven their intelectual dishonesty by voting Michigan number 2 and ND numbers 5 and 6 in the two polls that are used in the BCS formula.
