Cal moves in Clemson moves out and the three top SEC schools move up ahead of the Trojan man. Other than that a relatively uneventful college football weekend as the countdown to the battle of 1 and 2 ticks closer.
1. Ohio State Buckeyes - Cruise Control. You think there is any chance that either of their next two games are remotely competetive, ya didn't think so.Quality Wins: Penn St., @Texas, @Iowa
2. Michigan Wolverines - Really same with Michigan after handling every team on their schedule, and dominating everyone with their D Michigan simply needs to stay healthy and get Manningham healthy to put up their best fight in the Horseshoe.Quality Wins: Wisconsin, @ND, @Penn St., Iowa
3. Florida Gators - Florida is the third best team in the country. And clearly has the best path of all 1 loss teams to the National Title game. The SEC is the best conference this season, and the Gators are the cream of the crop. The Cocktail Party is always a difficult game to win and the Gators were able to pull it out. Now all thats in their way to the SEC Title game is Mr. Spurrier.Quality Wins: @Rocky Top, Alabama, LSU, UGA
4. Tennessee Volunteers - South Carolina always hangs in these games but eventually can't get it done. The Vols have back to backs against LSU and Arkansas to help further sort the power of the SEC. Quality Wins: Cal, @UGA, Alabama, @South Carolina
5. Auburn Tigers - Auburn keeps winning but their doing it so unimpressively. You should never place Quality Wins: LSU, @South Carolina, Florida Bad Loss: Arkansas
6. Southern Cal Trojans - What a terrible loss, but really the Trojans had it coming. I have to keep them ahead of Arkansas now do to how badly they mauled them in week 1, but does anyone think they are going to get through Oregon, Cal, ND, UCLA unscathed? I certainly don't.Quality Wins: Nebraska, @Arkansas, @Wash St. Bad Loss: Oregon St.
7. Arkansas Razorbacks: Arkansas is moving up as other teams are losing quality wins. When you look at this years most impressive wins, Arkansas at Auburn ranks up there with Mich @ND and OSU @Tex as the top dominant performances. Quality Wins: Alabama, @Auburn Bad Loss: USC
8. Boston College Eagles - Why are teams allowed to schedule Buffalo? Especially in the middle of the conference schedule, why not just chalk a win and have them take the week off. Quality Wins: @FSU, Clemson, VaTech Bad Loss: Chuck Amato Special
9. Texas Longhorns - I hate Texas Tech, you had to know that they were going to blow a 21 point lead. That team never surprises me with their miserable play against the Longhorns. You drop 31 in the 1st half then choke it away, give me a break. Quality Wins: Oklahoma, @Nebraska
10. California Golden Bears- Cal gets in due to the slide of Clemson last week and the fact the Wash St. looks like a legit football team. The Pac 10 seems like an underrated conference this season with some depth. Cal only has USC remaining on their sched who should test them.Quality Wins: @Wash St., Arizona St., Oregon Bad Loss: @Rocky Top
11. Notre Dame Fighting Irish- Well Notre Dame routed the Midshipmen in the 2nd half of the game. Its unfortunate that Navy is without their QB. Either way Notre Dame, plays poop flavored lolli-pops the rest of the way til USC.Quality Wins: Penn St., @GaTechBad Loss: Michigan
Dropped Out: Clemson after not showing up thursday night in Blacksburg
Bubble Teams: Rutgers, Louisville, Clemson, GaTech
Past Power Rankings: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Notes
~Showdown between the Mountaineers and Cardinals this week will land one of the two in the Week 9 Power Rankings, until then I don't want to hear anything about WVU, since they haven't beaten a Varsity football team yet this season.
~With that being said, especially due to Rutgers being legit, if WVU was to run the table and beat Louisville, Rutgers, and Pitt I would be hard pressed to choose a one loss Florida team over them for the title game. Time will tell.
~Every week FSU and Miami play worse, its amazing how bad these teams are this season. Last in the ACC Mid Ocean for the Seminoles? Last?
~I don't understand why LSU is ranked so high, sure they have lost to two very good teams, but who have they beaten this season? La Lafayette? Let me see them win a big game before thinking they deserve anything sniffing close to the top 10.
~I know the ACC is down this year, but where's the love for BC they lost to NC St. on a 34 td pass with 5 seconds left, and really lost because their kicker missed an early XP and they couldnt get the 2 later in the game. How could you possibly vote Boise St. or LSU over them.
~South Carolina and Oregon St. should play every season in the annual Cock Beaver Shootout. ADs get that done.
