I was on the fence about bringing this back, but figured if nothing else, it'll irritate Greg.

THE BLOCALICIOUS COLLEGE FOOTBALL TOP 10-PLUS!

1. Florida (def. Western Kentucky 49-3) - same rule as last year, the defending national champ gets to be number 1 until they lose. Which I don't think will be this week.

Next opponent: Troy

2. Appalachian State (def. Michigan 34-32) - they are also a defending national champ, just at the next level down from Florida. Which makes me think I might keep them at number 2 until they lose.

Does anyone else think that App State could win the Sun Belt outright, and give most of the ACC and Big East a run for their money? Can we give them a battlefield promotion and make Duke play in the Southern Conference? Please?

Related kudos to Nicholls State for beating Rice, though that's not quite an upset.

Next opponent: Lenoir Rhyne - whoever he is

3. LSU (def. Mississippi State 45-0) - at least LSU started with a conference opponent and on the road. That's more than most top-level teams did in the first week. And while I think they'll win this week, playing a game of this magnitude early in the season can be asking for trouble. Ask Tennessee.

Next opponent: Virginia Tech

4. West Virginia (def. Western Michigan 62-24) - good solid opening thumping, though given the opening schedule I'd swear that the Mountaineers joined the MAC. And when was the last time two teams with the nickname Mountaineers were in a football poll together?

Next opponent: at Marshall

5. California (def. Tennessee 45-31) - they played a highly-ranked opponent and won, so they get extra points. Which, if they play defense the same way all season, they'll need desperately.

Next opponent: at Colorado State

6. USC (def. Idaho 38-10) - not that impressive an opening, even with the healthy point differential. They really need to find a way to play all nine of their top-flight tailbacks at once. Maybe they can sort this out on the off week.

Next opponent: at Nebraska (9/15)

7. Wisconsin (def. Washington State 42-21) - I have nothing to say about this game, though it's the best opponent the Badgers will face this month.

Next opponent: at UNLV

8. Louisville (def. Murray State 73-10). Insert ironic joke about a team nicknamed the Racers losing by 63.

Next opponent: Middle Tennessee State (9/6)

9. Virginia Tech (def. East Carolina 17-7) - I believe I am required by law to rank the Hokies this week.

Next opponent: at LSU

10. Mount Union (def. Averett 75-7) - the 24th consecutive win by the defending Divison III champs, they get ranked by setting a new NCAA record for points in a quarter, with 52. They were up 72-0 at halftime, so at least Averett can take solace in winning the second half.

Next opponent: Otterbein (9/15)

109. Notre Dame (lost to Georgia Tech 33-3) - it was not as close as the score indicated. Appalachian State would have won by 50. Charlie Weis would have been better off naming his starter in July. Start the Jimmy Claussen transfer rumors now, if you haven't already. They'll be luck to cross midfield this week.

Next opponent: at Penn State
