After 7 Weeks, We Have The Most Unbelievable Top 25

Ohio State is now the new #1 after LSU thrilling loss to Kentucky, but whats even more of a shocker is that South Florida is the new #2!

The rest of the Top 10 looks like this:

3. Boston College - IMO, they should be #2.

4. Oklahoma - Big win vs. Mizzou keeps this team in the "Furreal" position.

5. LSU - Still might get to the title game.

6. South Carolina - Ole' Ball Coach has this team palying really well.

7. Oregon - The most dangerous (and unwatched) team in America.

8. Kentucky - The dream ain't dead yet!

9. West Virginia - I'd be so pissed if I were Rich Rodriguez.

10. Cal - Behold the power of the Beaver. This should be Arizona State's spot.


First BCS rankings come out in a bit, as well.

Cause everyone is historically on Michigan's nuts
First the federal government borrowed money; then gave the money to Bank of America; then I borrowed some of that money from Bank of America and gave it to the federal government; then the federal government gave the money back to Bank of America.

With the BCS rankings out now I was wondering is there anywhere you can find out the complete computer rankings?

Looking at the BCS 25 I noticed whoever the computer ranked at 21 was left out and I was a little curious who it was.

Oregon can beat Boston College, South Carolina, and South Florida, even though we just lost two offensive weapons (Cameron Colvin and Jeremiah Johnson) for the season.

Ohio State will not win out. They just can't. The law of averages says once they play a team that legitimately deserves a top-25 ranking (sorry Purdue, we thought you had it in you), they will fall at least once. And look at how they end their schedule: Wisconsin, Illinois, @Michigan. No way they win all three of those.

In the meantime, tip your hat to South Florida because they may SERIOUSLY win out.

The only one of those games I see them losing is vs. Michigan, and thats only if Mike Hart is 100% healthy.

There is a very good chance we ll win rest of our games. One thing to keep in mind none of the OSU s remaining opponents have dominant QB like Woodson to go thru our dominant defense. Wisconsin is trash so is PSU, no way they ll be able get thru our defense and as long as boeckman and/or beanie shows up a quarter or two. hell, illinois or MSU has better chance of beating us then those two. Michigan game is by far the toughest challenge as no matter what michigan s situation is-which they are vastly improving-considering game most likely going to have big 10 championship implications addition to big rivalry atmosphere. With that being said OSU defense is more than capable of stopping Hart and michigans running game and henne will fold under the pressure in the big game as always. At the end our chances of going to the NC looking great after this week. it would be interesting to see USF(big props) or BC in the NC game but SEC champion should automatically qualify for it IMO.
