The Terrible Ten of College Football: Week Two

The opening Big East beat down has reshuffled the Terrible Ten deck of bottom cards and heart breakers.

WAC Whack...MAC Crack. Sad Sack Dave Wannstedt's BCS hopes went to crap while Rutgers took an opening day nap.

So here we go when Syracuse Coach Greg Robinson gets fired only AD Daryl Gross knows....

1. Syracuse Orange: Syracuse Coach Greg Robinson. now an impressive 7-29, is the master of the falling down three yard out on third and fifteen. Despite working their  bread and butter to perfection the Orange were squeezed by Northwestern 30-10.

Robinson finds himself stuck in a gale. Blown from Northwestern to Northeastern with the 0-1 Akron Zips and Penn State in between.

Being zipped by the Zips and eaten by the Lions could mean Robinson is shown the door meeting Northeastern in week four.

2. Pittsburgh Panthers: With his patented early season choke Dave Wannstedt has driven the once promising Panthers to the top of the Terrible Ten.  Wannie, by dropping the home opener against a MAC team it was beating 14-0, has taken wind out of Pitt's BCS hopes, top player LeShawn McCoy's Heisman's hopes, and Pitt fan's season hopes.

Just like he worked that Wannie magic in Chicago and  Miami....

3. Idaho Vandals: After surrendering the most points in school history by losing 70-0 to Arizona Idaho Coach Robb Akey is confident his Vandals can give up a hundred to in state rival Idaho State this week.

4. SMU Mustangs: After leaping ahead of boiling Rice SMU Coach June Jones put in his old Hawaiian Hula Hoop defense and watched Rice rout the Mustangs 56-27.  Rice escapes the Terrible Ten but June Jones rides the Mustangs up.

5. Hawaii Rainbow Warriors: After losing 56-10 to Florida the Warriors decided to bring back the Rainbow name and promised ex coach June Jones a Captain Cook like cook out if he ever rides his Mustangs to Maui.

6. Louisville Cardinals: The Big East makes another Terrible Ten statement with the Cards only putting up a safety against hated rival Kentucky.

Against the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles Louisville has pledged to place four points on the board even it takes a late game scramble safety.

7. Rutgers Golden Knights: After losing 27-7 at home to WACy Fresno Rutgers fans responded with chants "We Are Still Rutgers."

8. Utah State Aggie's: Head Coach Brent Guy promised to do anything he could to cling to a spot in the Terrible Ten and he delivered with a 27-17 loss to UNLV in what the Aggie Coach described as a must win game. This week Guy said Oregon was a sure lose game.

9. UTABP: Since UAB and UTEP combined squads they have only been out scored 39 - 87 but if UNLV hits the skids the trilateral U Team could threaten to break out of the Terrible Ten.

10. (Tie) Clemson Tigers and Notre Dame Fighting Irish: Charlie Weis was happy to emerge from the bye with a 0-0 tie and asked for a multi-million dollar contract extension to 2045.

Tiger Coach Tommy Bowden proved he could take a team with seven first day draft picks, national championship dreams, and Heisman hopefuls and manage to score 10 points on opening day while surrendering 34 points and 400 plus yards to Alabama.

In worse Bowden Family news Penn State Coach Joe Paterno pulled into a tie in the Fossil Face off for most NCAA victories with Tommy's old Man Bobby.
