BLOGALICIOUS COLLEGE FOOTBALL TOP TEN-PLUS
1. Kansas(def. Nebraska 76-39) - You'd be excused if you thought this was an early season basketball score. I know Nebraska 2007 isn't like Nebraska 1997, but 76 is still a pretty impressive number to hang on the Cornhuskers. Giving up 39 is worrisome, though, especially in light of this week's opponent, who have proven that they can score.
Next opponent: at Oklahoma State
2. Ohio State (def. Wisconsin 38-17) - Kansas beat Toledo worse than Ohio State beat Akron, and Toldeo has one more win than Akron. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Not that it'll change the Buckeyes' death march to the BCS title game.
Next opponent: Illinois
3. LSU (def. Alabama 41-34) - nice road win, though the grumbles about all the close calls are starting to pick up. Expect that to be the cover when Ohio State and Kansas play for the national title while LSU guts some unlucky team in the Sugar Bowl.
Next opponent: Louisiana Tech
4. Oregon (def. Arizona State 35-23) - change of plans, Kansas plays Ohio State in the BCS title game while everyone gets the matchup they want when Oregon and LSU play in the Rose Bowl. Look for the Ducks to keep their end up this week.
Next opponent: at Arizona
5. Oklahoma (def. Texas A&M 42-14) - good win this week, now a bit of a breather against the Temple of the Big XII.
Next opponent: Baylor
6. West Virginia (Idle) - so much for a must-see match-up, though there's still ample room for the Mountaineers to slip up and miss their conference title game against UConn in a couple of weeks.
Next opponent: Louisville (10/8)
7. Missouri (def. Colorado 55-10) - Oklahoma loses to Colorado, Kansas squeaks by them, and Missouri blows them out. Remind me why I have them down here?
Next opponent: Texas A&M
8. Arizona State (lost to Oregon 35-23) - as predicted last week, UCLA lost to Arizona, so expect the Sun Devils to lose this game 55-12.
Next opponent: at UCLA
9. Navy (def. Notre Dame 46-44) - congrats on snapping the 43 game losing streak. If you didn't beat ND this year, you may never have beaten them again. Does this mean that Delaware could beat the Irish?
Next opponent: at North Texas
10. Florida State (def. Newton Klown Kollege 27-17) - Thank you.
Next opponent: at Virginia Tech
109. UTEP(lost to Rice 48-56) - I think the only way you give up 56 points to the Owls is to play defense with 9 guys. Awfully sporting of the Miners to do that, though it doesn't do much for your bowl eligibility.
Next opponent: at Tulane
