Ivan Maisel's Final Top 25

Click here for more on this story

I listened to Miami's logic for so long that the Hurricanes convinced me -- on the field is where it counts. On the field, Washington beat Miami, so the Huskies are my No. 2 team. Oregon State, which lost by only a field goal at Washington, finished up better than Florida State. Let's hear it for Toledo, which was lost in the bowl shuffle and finished 10-1, pummeling Penn State in the process. The Rockets deserves to be ranked.
