ESPN's Rece Davis usually lets his analysts and co-hosts do the talking on Saturday mornings on College Gameday, but he felt like doing some tweeting on Monday. Davis released his list of top 16 teams and he believes there's a team that's on the same level as Alabama and should get ranked the same as the Crimson Tide.

2 weeks in. Very fluid week to week. For now....First Four: 1A. Alabama 1B. Florida St. 3. Ohio State. 4. Houston

Houston is also a little surprising at such a high spot right now, but what's more surprising is who fell off the top pedestal so quickly into the season.
Next Four: 5. Stanford 6. Clemson 7. Michigan 8. Texas

Clemson was a top two team to start the season and its sluggish starts have cost them in these lists and the polls.
Four More: 9. Louisville 10. ND 11. Wisconsin 12. Iowa

His tie for the 16th spot is also a bit interesting:
Four to watch: 13. Washington 14. Michigan St. 15. Ole Miss 16. USF/Oregon
— Rece Davis (@ReceDavis) September 12, 2016
USF has looked good against Towson and Northern Illinois to start the season as the Bulls have outscored their opponents 104-37. Oregon could be a sleeper team in the Pac 12 as well if they can get by Washington halfway through the season and Stanford in November.
