Coach's Poll Collapsed

Coaches are simply not qualified to rank the teams. BYU (2-1) lost to Florida State (2-1) at home 54-28. Still, BYU is ranked No.20 while FSU is ranked No.25 in the USA Today Coach's Poll. The game was not as close as the final score shows.

There are some other odd placement:
Oklahoma (2-1) No.9, BYU (2-1) No. 20 (Oklahoma lost to BYU)
USC (2-1) No.10, Washington (2-1) Unranked (USA lost to Washington)
Oklahoma State (2-1) No.16, Houston (2-0) No.23 (Oklahoma State lost to Houston)

Don't use Coach's poll to determine the national champion match-up.

Here is my top 25 ranking. At least better than coach's poll.
1. Florida 3-0
2. California 3-0
3. Alabama 3-0
4. Texas 3-0
5. LSU 3-0
6. Miami 2-0
7. Penn State 3-0
8. Cincinnati 3-0
9. Virginia Tech 2-1 (should be lower than Alabama)
10. Auburn 3-0
11. Ole Miss 2-0
12. Missouri 3-0
13. Boise State 3-0
14. Washington 2-1 (should be lower than LSU)
15. Florida State 2-1 (should be lower than Miami)
16. USC 2-1 (should be lower than Washington)
17. Houston 2-0
18. Ohio State 2-1 (should be lower than USC)
19. Nebraska 2-1 (should be lower than Virginia Tech)
20. Michigan 3-0
21. BYU 2-1 (should be lower than Florida State)
22. Oklahoma State 2-1 (should be lower than Houston)
23. Oklahoma 2-1 (should be lower than BYU)
24. Georgia 2-1 (should be lower than Oklahoma State)
25. Oregon 2-1 (should be lower than Boise State)
