Blogalicious College Football Top 10
1. Ohio State (def. Indiana 44-3) - Indiana opened the game with a field goal and then gave up 44 unanswered points. Is anyone surprised? Next opponent: Minnesota.
2. Michigan (def. Iowa 20-6) - solid win to segue into filler. Next opponent: Northwestern.
3. West Virginia (def. Connecticut 37-11) - what can I say, I'm feeling cranky. I do look forward to seeing this offense butting heads with a ranked team. Finally. Next opponent: Louisville (11/2).
4. USC (idle) - from watching things this weekend it sounds like a loss here is more a matter of when than of if. Which means that they'll run the table just to confound us all. Next opponent: at Oregon State.
5. Texas (def. Nebraska 22-20) - a good reminder that they can beat good teams, too. Now they just have to hope that there's plenty of BCS opportunity for a one loss team. Next opponent: at Texas Tech.
6. Auburn (def. Tulane 38-13) - see above re: BCS opportunities for a one loss team. It just may be that they won't be the SEC team that manages to only take one loss. Next opponent: at Mississippi.
7. Florida (idle) - OK, so not so much the party anymore, at least officially. I'd have to think that Bulldog fans may want to keep some spirits handy for this one, though. Next opponent: Georgia.
8. Tennessee (def. Alabama 16-13) - not the way you want to go into a testing three game stretch. Will Spurrier kill the Vols again? Next opponent: at South Carolina.
9. Louisville (def. Syracuse 28-13) - I was really looking for a 40 point win here. I feel cheated. With the big game coming up, wouldn't it be interesting if the Cardinals knocked off West Virginia and then turn around and lose to Rutgers? Next opponent: West Virginia (11/2).
10. San Diego State (def. Air Force 19-12) - The Aztecs not only avoided the worst start in school history, but they gave Chuck Long his first win as head coach. They may even win next week. No promises, though. Next opponent: Cal Poly.
Out of the Top 10:
Vanderbilt - They lost to South Carolina, allowing Steve Spurrier to keep his perfect record against the Commodores. That includes his time as head coach at Duke, so he pretty much has Vandy's number. He could probably beat them with a Pop Warner squad.
