Mississippi State came a few inches away from the number one ranking this week. Auburn is still winning. As long as they keep playing ranked opponents (and winning), they should stay near the top for a while.

Why FCS?
So I know why teams beat up on FCS. They are close to home, it's an easy win. But seriously. Aren't there enough FBS bottom 10 dwellers for all to go around? You might see some major drops this week for some teams. Primarily because they couldn't find a FBS team to play. With that, here is this week's The Ant's Top 25:

Bonus Bowl Time!
Welcome to The Ant's Bonus bowl. Every year in the recent past there seems to be two undefeated teams AFTER the bowl games. Usually one team from an automatic BCS qualifier and one team from a non-AQ. I have said in the past, the two should meet. As I stick to my non-bias National Championship, I also see that this will never happen. Unfortunately the world of making money off of student atheletes will never go for an unplanned game of such magnitude. Since there is no guarantee that two undefeated teams will finish the bowl season, The Ant has looked to comprimise. So here it is, the long awaited 2nd option...
There are four major bowls: Fiesta (AZ), Sugar (LA), Orange(FL), and Rose (CA). They already rotate who gets the national championship. I say keep that, it's a good thing going. Let's have a four-team playoff. Each bowl will rotate the national championship, semi-finals, and a #5 vs. #6 team bowl. Here are the details:
#1 would play #4 and #2 play #3 in the semi-finals regardless whether they have played during the regular season.
#1 would play in the closest geographical bowl that is holding a semi-final.
#2 and #3 would play in the other geographical bowl holding a semi-final.
The winner of semi-final 1 and semi-final 2 would play for the national championship.
Regarding the #5 and #6 bowl: If the two teams played during the regular season, #5 would then play #7 or next team that they haven't played.
According to this scenario, this year's playoff according to The Ant's Top 25 is...
Rose Bowl- #5 Boise State vs. #6 Wisconsin
Orange Bowl- semi final 2- #2 Oregon vs. #3 T.C.U.
Sugar Bowl- semi final 1- #1 Auburn vs. #4 Stanford
Fiesta Bowl- National Championship: Winner of semi 1 vs. winner of semi 2
What this 4 team playoff does is give the non-AQ's a chance for a National Championship with only 1 extra game. It also gives a chance to REALLY find out who is the best if there are more than two AQ teams undefeated.
As always, No Bias, NO BULL!
