7) Notre Dame - Say what you will, these guys graduate over 90 percent.
8) Boston College - Smart enough to schedule Rhode Island on Upset Saturday.
9) Vandy - Had a bye and still moves up in the rankings.
10) Army - Didn't win, but actually looked respectable for a change.
Ten More Things I Noticed This Week
1) Charlie Weis is letting his hair grow out. Hippie.
2) Kirk Herbstreit missed the Georgia-Alabama game. He got four hours in a booth with Brent Musburger instead. Talk about a double whammy.
3) Larry Coker is more boring of an announcer than he was a coach. I know we didn't think this was possible.
4) Home teams get a lot of great calls. I guess we did notice this before.
5) Pete Carroll claps a lot. Hey Pete, knock it off or I'll start calling you "Clappy."
6) Oklahoma has a really nice stadium. That thing is unbelievable, even on TV.
7) Bo Pelini needs a stylist. Do something Bo. Everyone knows you make millions, so the sweatshirt and ballcap thing doesn't cut it.
8) I actually spend time wondering if any Clemson player ever fell down the hill. I wonder this every time I see it, but actually noticed this week.
9) Frank Beamer looks younger than he used to. Did he lose weight?
10) For a team that embraces tradition, Georgia is pretty non-traditional. I'm just not a fan of "alternative" uniforms.
Ten More Times I was Wrong
1) USC covers easily. Yeah right.
2) Bama is built to win in a year or two; Georgia is built to win right now. It sounded so good.
3) FIU is just as bad as last year. Nope.
4) North Texas is the worst team in the country. Wait a second; they gave up 77 to Rice yesterday, so maybe they are.
5) Jimmy Claussen isn't that good. Maybe not the next Montana, but really some nice touch passes.
6) John Parker Wilson will cost Alabama the game. Not between the hedges he didn't.
7) Wisconsin will win the Big Ten. Not if Joe Pa has anything to say about it.
8) UCLA and the spread - I am 0-5 against the spread in UCLA games this year.
9) Bill Stewart is the worst coach in the country. Sorry, Tommy Bowden, I forgot about you for a minute or two.
10) The ACC isn't as bad as everyone thinks. Maybe Duke goes to a BCS bowl the way things are going.
Ten Biggest Week 5 Disappointments
1) Notre Dame won. It's more fun when they lose.
2) Wisconsin - Can I borrow Pete Carroll's choke sign?
3) Auburn's Offense - They actually said on TV that they hoped Chris Todd was injured, because then he would have an excuse for how poorly he threw the ball.
4) Georgia's first half - Will go down as one of the biggest no-shows of all time.
5) The Officiating
