1. Ohio State (10-0): Slightly tense moments there in Columbus, I suspect, but then the Buckeyes woke up and laid the wood to Bucky. Clearly, they are the best team in the country, no mater what you say about the schedule. And the way Michigan played on Saturday, you have to like Ohio State's chances to go 12-0 again. Knowing as we do how much the Big Ten sucks (seriously, if both conference leaders struggle to beat Sparty, you know it's a bad conference), are we looking at a repeat of last year's BCS title game? Is Ohio State the new Florida State? Or the new Oklahoma?
2. Kansas (9-0): Wow. I think I was more surprised by the Nebraska suckitude than I was about Kansas' domination. They're getting close enough to taste it, and all that stands in their way is Missouri. Who would have thought it? Kansas and Missouri, fighting for the Big XII North title.
3. Hawaii (8-0): Getting to the nitty, ain't it? Three unbeatens left, and Hawaii is one of them. I like the "feel good" stories, as you know. June Jones qualifies, as does Colt Brennan. Wins are wins, though, no matter what.4. Oregon (8-1): Sagarin has their SOS higher than LSU's, although I suspect that's fleeting considering the SEC title game looms for LSU. If the Pac-10 gets screwed by the BCS yet again this year, though, it's going to be a shame.
5. LSU (8-1): Not sure how much luckier the Tigers could get last night. But hey, maybe they're living a charmed life in 2007. Was it Durocher who said, "I'd rather be lucky than good"? Les Miles should be a believer at this point, but he's too arrogant and smug. I wonder why?
6. Arizona State (8-1): No shame in losing on the road to Oregon. If they can run the table, maybe they'll get a BCS reward. But I suspect USC will teach them a lesson when the time comes.
7. Boston College (8-1): Wow, how could they blow THAT one at home? So much for the computers knowing anything. One of the larger choke jobs this season, that's for sure. I mean, what was the point of winning last week if you were just going to turn around and cough this one up? Id0ts.
8. Missouri (8-1): Knowing the way the college football world works, the Tigers will ruin Kansas' season later this month. Nothing else would make sense.
9. West Virginia (7-1): Four games left to prove 2005 was no fluke, Mr. White and Mr. Slaton.
10. Oklahoma (8-1): If Missouri doesn't get Kansas, Oklahoma probably will. I hate college football; I really do. Because this year's Oklahoma model isn't this good, AT ALL. But they'll be good enough to win the Big XII, sadly enough.
11. Connecticut (8-1): Slowly turning into my favorite surprise of the season. The Big East? TJBEOU.
12. Boise State (8-1): How did they lose to U-Dub? Shame, because the upcoming game against Hawaii would have REALLY been an important one.
13. Georgia (7-2): I don't even really want to rank any more teams, since all the two-loss teams suck and are irrelevant.
14. Virginia Tech (7-2): They rebounded nicely from that blown game last week.
15. USC (7-2): It'll be weird to see the Trojans in the Sun Bowl, when you know they could beat LSU on a neutral field.
16. Cincinnati (7-2): It's been a few weeks since I made this comment, but I'll say it again: Mark Dantonio is dumb.
17. Clemson (7-2): Yet another example of why it's just a waste of time to rank two-loss teams.
18. Virginia (8-2): Ibid.
19. Texas (8-2): I am sure Mack Brown will find a way, still, to secure the Longhorns a BCS bid.
20. BYU (6-2): Only here because they didn't lose to a FCS team.
21. Michigan (8-2): The Wolverines are specializing in getting other teams to gift them wins late in the game this year: Penn State, Northwestern, Illinois, Michigan State. Too bad Appalachian State didn't buy in, huh, Lloyd? Seriously, has any team benefited more this season from the stupidity of its opponents? Oh yeah, LSU has! No wonder Michigan wants to hire Les Miles. They're a match made in a landfill. This is a .500 team at best, yet somehow Carr has them positioned for a shot at the Big Ten title. Why do Michigan fans complain? They're worse than Red Sox fans.
22. California (6-3): Now we're really chumming for chumps to round out the Top 25.
23. Penn State (7-3): It'll be just like them to lose to Sparty in two weeks. Watch.
24. Florida (6-3): I'm rewarding them with this spot because of SOS.
25. Wake Forest (6-3): Considering the surprise they were last year, they've done alright in a follow-up act.
Also receiving meager consideration: Kentucky, South Florida, Alabama, Florida State, Auburn, Tennessee, Arkansas, Illinois, Purdue, Texas Tech, Wisconsin, Utah, Central Florida, Troy, Air Force
