Blogalicious College Football Top 10

1. Ohio State (idle) - Next opponent: TDB (1/8/07).

2. Michigan (idle) - After watching Florida struggle with Free Shoes U and USC ring up what might have been the most lackluster 20 point win by any team this season, I'm surprisingly still on board for a rematch. Next opponent: TBD.

3. USC (def. Notre Dame 44-24) - what a strange game this was, as it was hard to feel that USC was ever challenged, but at the same time that they weren't really dominating (first 10 minutes excepted). I fear that they are going to make the Fake Bowl, and that OSU will win 54-3. Next opponent: at UCLA.

4. Florida (def. Florida State 21-14) - this game was odder still, even if it was in Tallahassee. I know, rivalry game and all, but Florida needs to play high on the hog next week to have any title hopes. Next opponent: Arkansas (@ Georgia Dome).

5. Louisville (def. Pittsburgh 48-24) - not that they're going to get this high in any mainstream poll, but I think they're the best team of all the ones left with fewer than two losses (even though they got beaten by one of them). Next opponent: Connecticut.

6. Boise State (def. Nevada 38-7) - the Wolfpack went into this game leading the division in turnover margin - and promptly went a -3 for the game. Going 12-0, the Broncs should get a shot at a BCS game. Next game: TBD.

7. Rutgers (def. Syracuse 38-7) - welcome back, Scarlet Knights. All may not be forgiven, but we'll be amicable as long as you're in contention for a BCS bid. Next opponent: at West Virginia

8. Wisconsin (idle) - When do you get no love as an 11-1 team? When four of your wins come against Bowling Green, Western Illinois, San Diego State, and Buffalo. Next game: team TBD @ Capital One Bowl.

9. LSU (def. Arkansas 31-26) - had to let one two-loss team in, and LSU is probably the best of the bunch given that they beat Arkanasas on their field to end their national title run. Next game: TBD.

10. Massachusetts (def. Lafayette 35-14) - Our State University opens the playoffs with a big win. It doesn't hurt that their starting QB is named Liam Coen (unrelated, as far as I know) Next opponent: New Hampshire.

Out of top 10:

Notre Dame - here's a reality check - the last ND coach to lead the Irish to a win over USC was Bob Davie. Sorry, Charlie.

Arkansas - their running game is no problem, at least. Just need to tune up everything else before taking on Florida.

West Virginia - lost to South Florida - in Morgantown. They went from national title hopes to out of the BCS in less than a month.

Appalachian State - sorry, time to suck up to the Minutemen. Besides, how do you let Coastal Carolina hang around that long?
