Week 4 College Football Power Rankings

1. Ohio State Buckeyes - Penn St. came into this season overrated due to their success last year and despite struggling for 3 quarters the Buckeyes pulled away and won comfortably. Quality Wins: Penn St., @Texas

2. Michigan Wolverines - This weeks win against Wisconsin is an underrated won as I expect the Badgers to be better than previously advertised and finish somewhere within the top 5 of the Big 10. The quality of the victory against Notre Dame took a marginal hit with ND struggles in East Lansing. Quality Wins: Wisconsin, @ND

3. Auburn Tigers - Look at Auburn's schedule and tell me that it isn't the greatest schedule in recorded ACC history. Not only do they play the majority of their difficult games at home, they sandwich those games with cupcakes similar to this weeks matchup against Buffalo following the LSU victory. If you're going to play in the SEC and you have a good team this is the schedule to get through the season. Quality Wins: LSU

4. Florida Gators - The Gators beat up on their whipping boys from Kentucky and like many of the top teams did not pick up a big time victory.Quality Wins: Rocky Top

5. Louisville Cardinals - Bumped Louisville up a spot after they mauled K State in Manhattan. K State might be in down years, but coming off a beatdown over Miami it is mightily impressive to blow out a big conference opponent on the road especially without your QB and running back. They will need to hold serve and hope Brahm gets back for the West Virginia game. Quality Wins: @K State, Miami

6. Southern Cal Trojans - Drops a slot after a mediocre performance against a poor Arizona team but with the Arkansas win over Bama that blowout victory might be gaining in street cred. Quality Wins: Nebraska, @Arkansas

7. Clemson Tigers - Clemson comes off the solid victory over FSU and tells North Carolina who's their daddy. Still just a good kicker away from being undefeated. Quality Wins: @FSU

8. Tennessee Volunteers - Played nobody this week but the Cal win looks more legit after the romping Cal gave ASU.Quality Wins: Cal

9. Texas Christian Horned Frogs - Had an off week but still has the nice win against TT who bounce back to crush some no name this week. Quality Wins: Texas Tech

10. Notre Dame Fighting Irish- Not impressive against Michigan State but a W is a W. And right now Notre Dame has wins against three quality big conference opponents. Maybe each of those teams falter down the stretch when they hit conference play but GaTech has looked good since opening night and will give other ACC teams a run for their money. Quality Wins: @Michigan St., Penn St., @GaTech -- Bad Loss: Michigan

11. Cal Golden Bears - Thumped what might end up being an overrated ASU team and beat a decent Minnesota team. That loss at Tennesee is still miserable but they have two solid wins and I couldnt keep Georgia in the top 11 with the way they should have lost to Colorodo at home. Sorry Uga.Quality Wins: Arizona St., Minnesota Bad Loss: Rocky Top

Dropped Out: Georgia Bulldogs after their miracle one point win against pathetic Colorodo at home no less, BC after their loss to NC State

Past Power Rankings: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Notes

~The last thing I would call Notre Dame's game against Michigan State would be impressive. Sure it was a nice comeback but they were getting killed in the first half and really any upper echelon team would have put them away in that game. Now they have a few weeks to get their defense in gear.

~Really a boring weekend of college football with the exception of the ND game, which looked so out of hand that I had no issue with going to the bar and missing the 4th quarter, in retrospect I probably should have watched the end of the game instead of blacking out at the bar, praying to Daniels porcelain god, and trying to play flag football at 9 am, and sucking a fat one.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
