A little late, thanks to a move and a Verizon DSL transfer that takes 2 to 3 weeks for some reason:

Blogalicious College Football Top 10

1. Ohio State (def. Penn State 28-6) - part one of a tough conference back-to-back match-up in the books, with the harder part on the road and against a QB less likely to give so many fourth quarter gifts to the OSU defense. Next opponent: at Iowa

2. Auburn (def. Buffalo 38-7) - I was going to drop Auburn down for not beating Buffalo by 70, but it looks like they gave the second string ample work. Can't knock them for that, both for the experience and for the chance to rest starters before a conference game on the road. Next opponent: at South Carolina (9/28).

3. USC (def. Arizona 20-3) - the Trojans were lucky they were playing Arizona this week. Thankfully, they've got another week to sort things out against a WSU team that's feasted on bad opponents. Next opponent: at Washington State.

4. Texas (def. Iowa State 37-14) - I'm tempted to drop them a bit, and while I'm not one to preach running up the score, the Longhorns better win big next week. Next opponent: Sam Houston State.

5. West Virginia (def. East Carolina 27-10), Florida (def. Kentucky 26-7), Michigan (def. Wisconsin 27-13) - I'm displeased with all of these guys, as they all got bogged down against less than stellar opponents. I should cut Florida and Michigan some slack as they were both coming off of big wins, but they should have done better at home. At least West Virginia has the excuse of playing on the road. Someone had better step up next week, or I'm going to work out a way to have a four-way tie, even with the Mountaineers having the week off. That'll learn 'em. Next opponents: West Virginia at Mississippi State (10/9); Florida v. Alabama; Michigan at Minnesota.

8. LSU (def. Tulane 49-7) - on the one hand, I figured LSU would take last week's frustrations out on the Green Wave. On the other hand, they at least performed to expectations. Expect more of the same next week. Next opponent: Mississippi State.

9. Louisville (def. Kansas State 24-6) - they've got wins over teams in the ACC, Big XII, and SEC. OK, they're not always the top programs in the conference, but they're wins that help recapture some football cred for the Big East. All of which they could give back in a couple of weeks, even if they still have to start some back-ups. Next opponent: at Middle Tennessee State (10/6).

10. North Dakota State (def. Ball State 29-24) - The Bison are in the third year of a five year transition from divsion 2, and even a win over lowly Ball State is something to crow about. It must have been a tough afternoon at David Letterman Stadium. Next opponent: Stephen F. Austin.

Out of the top ten:

Georgia - a one point win at home over Colorado? You know they're the only team Montana State has beaten this year, right?

Southern Illinois - yes, they beat Arkansas-Pine Bluff solidly, but a win over a lowly member of the SWAC doesn't trump a win over a D1 school.
