Blogalicious College Football Top 10

1. Ohio State (def. Michigan State 38-7) - I assume the biggest hits of the day for the Spartans would have been John L. Smith slapping himself again. The best press conference schtick since the many personalities of Clinton Portis. Next opponent: Indiana.

2. Michigan (def. Penn State 17-10) - yes, I'm doing this to crank up the Ann Arborites. Enjoy! Next opponent: Iowa.

3. USC (def. Arizona State 28-21) - given how close run its been for them to get through Washington State, Washington, and Arizona State, I can't imagine how they're going to get through Oregon, Cal, and Notre Dame unscathed. Next opponent: at Oregon State (10/28).

4. West Virginia (def. Syracuse 41-17) - I know it's Syracuse and all, but I have to love a team whose QB runs for over 200 yards and 4 scores. So for this week at least, a bump. Next opponent: at Connecticut (10/20).

5. Texas (def. Baylor 63-31) - I think I may have been too high on the Longhorns given the amount of fluff in their schedule (Oklahoma win notwithstanding). No fluff this weekend, though. Next opponent: at Nebraska.

6. Auburn (def. Florida 27-17) - 27 points, no offensive TDs. I should really just rank the Auburn defense and special teams here. I have a feeling the offense will get back on track this week. Next opponent: Tulane.

7. Florida (lost to Auburn, 17-27) - they're still very good, the class of the SEC East thanks to their win over Tennessee. Now they just have to avoid getting too drunk to win the World's Largest Cocktail Party. Next opponent: Georgia.

8. Tennessee (idle) - speaking of the SEC East, what are the odds that the Vols will win the divison with remaining games against LSU and Arkansas? Thinking about that makes this week's game seem tame by comparison. Next opponent: Alabama.

9. Louisville (def. Cincinnati 24-17) - I know Brian Brohm is coming back from injury, but even the second string should be able to beat the Bearcats by more than six points. At least Brohm's got another week to get back into shape. Next opponent: at Syracuse.

10. Vanderbilt (def. Georgia 24-22) - winning between the hedges on the game's final play, Vandy registered its first defeat of Georgia since 1992. It's only their fourth win in the last 43 clashes with the Bulldogs. It was also Georgia's homecoming. Way to spoil a party, Vandy. Next opponent: South Carolina.

Out of the Top 10:

Detroit Tigers - beating the A's isn't nearly as gratifying (to me at least) as taking out the Yankees. Still, nice job on making the World Series.
