2) Florida - Read their new book: How To Blow Out Your Rival On The Road.

3) Oklahoma - Have scored enough points that they still outscore most on a bye week.

4) USC - Ohio State has done all they can to remove the luster of the Trojans win.

5) LSU - WOW

6) Texas - Flying under the radar agreeing with the Longhorns.

7) Wisconsin - The team to beat in the Big Ten.

8) Penn State - Would like to see them play someone decent.

9) Wake Forest - Made Jimbo Fisher look downright silly.

10) BYU - Can a non-BCS school bust into the Championship Game?

 

Ten Teams Who Really Disappointed Us This Week

2) Rutgers - The wheels are off the cart.

3) UCLA - They look awful.

4) Kansas State - Just a disorganized mess.

5) West Virginia - We can squarely point fingers at the Head Coach.

8) Kansas - Same as above, insert Sam Houston State.

9) Arkansas - The Hogs got smoked.

10) East Carolina - A great story comes to an abrupt halt.

 

Ten Best QB's Of This Week

1) Jarrett Lee - The only thing impressive in the stats is the W.

2) Chase Daniel - This is getting silly.

3) Robert Marve - If you didn't see this kid you need to, scary stuff.

4) Tim Tebow - Is there a player in the country more liked by his team mates?

5) Colt McCoy - 4 TD's and only 4 incomplete passes, yikes!

6) David Johnson - Ho hum, 469 yards and 6 TD's.

7) Kellen Moore - Another huge win for this program.

8) Terelle Pryor - How much pressure can he handle? A ton.

9) Robert Griffin - One of my new favorite players.

10) Chase Holbrook - 5 TD's for the under rated one.

 

Ten Teams That Don't Belong On The Schedule

1) Massachusetts - Texas Tech wants respect?, you have to be kidding.

2) Sam Houston State - They're gaining popularity; with Kansas at least.

3) Nicholls State - Did Memphis need an easy win this bad?

4) SE Louisiana - Louisiana Tech imports a double directional.

5) Tennessee Tech - It's official, Western Michigan is making up teams again.

6) Wofford - Things are so bad in South Carolina this is becoming a "circle" game.

7) Portland State - I guess Washington State didn't want to go winless.

8) Murray State - Western Kentucky actually expects us to believe that there's a state called Murray.

9) Northeastern - At least the Huskies got an all expense paid trip to beautiful Syracuse.

10) Alabama State - Thanks to UAB they're now winless in 2 divisions.

 

Ten Coaches in the News (at least on my Blog)

1) Bill Stewart - I wish I had something funny to say like you can rearrange some letters in his name to spell idiot, but he can't even get that right.

2) Greg Schiano - Um, coach, your players are punching each other.

3) Art Briles - A real breath of fresh air at Baylor.

4) Randy Shannon - Looks like a guy who will have his fourth ring in a year or two.

5) Les Miles - He does it again.

6) Ron Prince - Youth isn't always a good thing.

7) Joe Paterno - He is College Football.

8) Bobby Johnson - Not too early to be talking Coach of the Year.

9) Chris Peterson - Makes a win over a BCS conference front runner seem routine.

10) Bobby Bowden - That may have been it.

 

Ten Things I Noticed This Week

1) Bob Davie doesn't get on my nerves anymore - He even adds something sometimes.

2) I would rather watch anything than listen to Brent Musburger - That Fresno-Toledo game wasn't bad.

3) ESPN's Game Day can be a new Zen Coan - If no one watches did it really happen?

4) I can watch 11 games at once - I'll be going for 12 next week.

5) Just because the point spread says so it doesn't make teams a favorite - I see this a lot but many called Florida State an underdog but they were laying 5 points.

6) Common decency still exists - The stoppage and unity in the South Florida-FIU game makes the world a better place.

7) We may have more than 3 undefeated teams this year - I have never said this before nor have I ever been "the sky is falling" type but the top teams are really good and the bottom teams are really bad.

8) Craig James is awful - It's probably safe to guess I'm the last one to know.

9) Army doesn't need to play anyone - They are thoroughly capable of beating themselves.

10) Some coaches are put on Earth to drive me nuts - It's days later and I'm still mad at Bill Stewart.

 

Top Ten "I Told You So's" You'll Hear This Week... aka. excuse me while I roll my eyes

1) Notre Dame was going to lose - Duh.

2) Arkansas Stinks - Really, I didn't notice.

3) The SEC is the best conference - Maybe it was the nightmares from watching those hits that give it away.

4) Penn State was going to win - They we're favored by 28 1/2, that was a brave call.

5) Jimbo Fisher isn't good - let's try every person in the entire Southeast region of the country and see if they "fit in" the Nole offense.

6) East Carolina was going to lose at some point - I thought the Oklahoma winning streak was in jeopardy.

7) Missouri scores a ton - Ya think?

8) Boise State is good - I guess the BCS bowl win 2 years ago wasn't enough of a message.

9) Upsets happen - I haven't heard anyone mention that Appalachian State beat Michigan last year in almost 2 weeks.

10) Terelle Pryor is the future at Ohio State - Maybe that whole national High School Player of the Year thing was the dead giveaway.

 

Top Ten Statements I've Made This Season or Pre Season I Would Love To Have Back

1) Georgia hasn't done anything to merit being #1 - The Dawgs are top dog in my book.

2) Tim Tebow is over rated - And Moses didn't part the Red Sea either.

3) TCU will finish 5th in their division - Nice preview I wrote. Really adds to my credibility.

4) Minnesota Stinks - I was wrong unless they're the worst undefeated team after 4 weeks ever.

5) Rich Rodriguez can win with anything - No he can't.

6) The Big East is great from top to bottom - What was I thinking?

7) Penn State is over rated - I still would like to see them step up the competition but they are making me look silly about right now.

8) The Big 12 is the worst conference - They still play a ton of cup cakes but have beaten some good teams out of conference as well.

9) Brent Musburger is the worst announcer in the business - Actually I meant that one and don't take it back.

10) Phil Fulmer isn't in trouble - It's safe to say he is.

 

My Ten Favorite Spots on the Web

1) The College Football Place - Hey, if you don't love what you do then why do it.

2) Bleacher Report - Some of the best writers anywhere live there.

3) A site so good it doesn't have a name - A big part of my Saturday.

4) Covers - Who doesn't comparison shop?

5) The Googster - Who doesn't use this?

6) ESPN - I only use this for scores these days.

7) Fox - They publish Bleacher Creature stuff when they're feeling smart enough that day.

8) Twitter - If anyone can figure out why this fascinates me please let me know.

9) Need to settle an argument? - This is the place to do it.

10) You Tube - Never ceases to amaze me.

4) Minnesota at Ohio State - We're going to find out a lot in this one.

5) North Carolina at Miami - This game will be for a lot more in the upcoming years.

6) Virginia Tech at Nebraska - Even sounds weird to say it, have they ever played before?

7) Tennessee at Auburn - Two bruised teams looking to bounce.

8) Purdue at Notre Dame - That's how weak the schedule is.

9) Maryland at Clemson - Could be the exclamation point on the Tommy Bowden farewell party.

10) UAB at South Carolina - If just the sound of this doesn't cure insomnia nothing will.
