1. USC Football
No team was more impressive than USC in the opening week—and no team was more impressive on the practice field before the season. They should have been No. 1 before their 52-7 beatdown of Virginia.
Look for the Trojans to dominate Ohio State in the Coliseum this weekend, as OSU and the rest of the Big Ten continue to show that they are inferior to the "speed conferences" (SEC, Pac-10).
2. Georgia Bulldogs Football
Coming off an unimpressive win versus Georgia Southern, the Bulldogs came back in Week Two and showed Central Michigan and Dan LeFevour (aka Tim Tebow of the MAC) their might. I would expect them to handle South Carolina this weekend on the road, seeking revenge after the Gamecocks went into Sanford Stadium and beat the Dogs 16-12 last year.
3. Oklahoma Sooners Football
They looked impressive again against a highly thought-of Cincinnati team, who I think is the second best team in the Big East. Oklahoma will flirt with perfection this year with all their difficult games to be played at home (Texas, Kansas, Texas Tech). I see a Mizzou-Oklahoma rematch in the Big 12 championship.
4. Florida Gators Football
The Gators look dominant on both offense and defense. The new "the U"? The weapons Tebow has are endless, and their defense is much improved from last year. Look for the winner of the Georgia-Florida game in Jacksonville on Nov. 1 to be headed for the BCS title game to play USC.
5. Missouri Tigers Football
I can't believe they are not ahead of the Buckeyes in any polls. The Buckeyes lost to the Illini at home last year, and Mizzou has beat Illinois each of the last two seasons. Mizzou has the best pass offense in the nation, with Chase Daniels throwing and Jeremy Maclin and Chase Coffman catching.
The defense was shaky versus Illinois but came through big when it counted. The Tigers will leap Ohio State (in other polls) after Ohio State gets murdered by USC this weekend.
6. LSU Football
The only thing keeping them from being ranked No. 1 is their quarterback. All Andrew Hatch needs to do is manage the game, which is what he did Week One. If Hatch does not turn the ball over, the Tigers will win the SEC West and contend for another title.
The talent of LSU is equal to that of Georgia and Florida, but Andrew Hatch keeps them lower in the polls. But I think the Tigers like being overlooked rather then being No. 1 like last year.
7. Ohio State Football
With Beanie Wells likely to miss this weekend's game vs. USC, they officially have no chance of winning. In fact, even with Beanie Wells, they have no chance of winning. The most overrated team in the nation yet again. Please don't let them slip into the national championship to get killed yet again.
When was the last time Ohio State even beat an SEC or Pac-10 team? I can't remember. They are lucky to be No. 7 in my poll...
8. Auburn Football
