Why no love for Baylor or Minnesota?
I get it; neither one started the season ranked and neither is a blue blood but undefeated is undefeated. They both had soft OOC schedules and backloaded conference schedules but I feel like they deserve more love than they are getting especially when there are still poll voters out there casting 1st place votes for a Clemson team that is going to get exposed for who they really are if they finish their schedule unscathed.

RE: Why no love for Baylor or Minnesota?
Because Minnesota hasn't been battle tested. There's Like, but yeah, no LOVE (yet?).
Minnesota Barely beat a (high ranked) FCS team, GA-Southern, and Fresno. And they just got past Purdue by a TD. That was their 4-0 start.
BUT, they seem to be improving, and are 8-0. But 3 out of their remaining 4 games are the truly challenging ones. THAT will be the test, if they can go 2-2 or better.
Baylor? I could see more of a reason to raise an eyebrow why they aren't liked more.
I think it's because they've had a great record before and floundered due to weak OOC games, in the past.
They won @K-State, but that was before K-State upset Oklahoma. But they Barely beat Rice who sucks. And their other 2 OOC games were NOT against challenging teams, even for a 4-8 B12 team.
The rest of their schedule should be interesting -- they have 5 whole games remaining. They'll get their love, if they win a ton down the road.
