College Football Top 25: Post Coliseum Showdown

Here is the new top 25 after the "showdown" between OSU and USC.

 1. USC

Lower:  I can't think of one good reason why any team should be ahead of the Trojans.

 

2. Georgia

Higher:  They beat a good South Carolina team on the road.

Lower:  The win was not very pretty.

 

3. Oklahoma

Higher:  The Sooners offense has been great so far this season.

Lower:  They haven't played anyone too good.

 

4. Missouri

Higher:  Simply the best offense in the nation.  They obliterated an OK Nevada team.  Chase Daniel has more touchdowns than incompletions in the last two games.

Lower:  The defense still hasn't proved itself against a really good offense.

 

5. Florida

Higher:  They are undefeated and have Tim Tebow.

Lower:  They haven't really proved themselves yet.

 

6. LSU

Higher:  The Tigers look like they have a great chance to compete for the SEC.

Lower:  Like so many other teams, they haven't proved themselves.

 

7. Wisconsin

Higher:  They beat a really good Fresno State team on the road.  Great win.

Lower:  They haven't beaten a really good BCS school yet.

 

8. Texas Tech

Higher:  The offense was back to usual and the defense looks like it keeps improving weekly.

Lower:  The Red Raiders haven't played a really good team yet.

9. Penn State

Higher:  The Nittany Lions have looked great thus far.

Lower:  Haven't played a really good team yet.

 

10. Texas

Higher:  They haven't lost a game and have looked mighty impressive.

Lower:  They haven't played anyone.

 

11. Alabama (Looked really good...against Western Kentucky)

12. Auburn (Scored three points and won???)

13. Ohio State (Is there a pulse in Columbus?)

14. BYU (Destroyed UCLA...very impressive)

15. Oregon (Took down a very underrated Purdue team)

16. South Florida

17. East Carolina

18. Kansas

19. Boise St.

20. Wake Forest

21. Clemson

22. Illinois

23. Utah

24. West Virginia

25. North Carolina

On the Verge:  Arizona State, Vanderbilt, Oklahoma State, TCU

BEST TEAM NOT MENTIONED IN THESE RANKINGS:  Ball State.  That's right.  Ball Freaking State.
