College Football Top 10
Uncategorized October 22nd. 2007, 12:53pm
Often, some of our rowdy commenters tend to get unruly when it comes to talking College Football Top 10, but we’re going to ask you to be on your best behavior this week when we welcome (finally?) two newbies into the mix: Arizona State and Kansas. Neither have an impressive win on the ledger, but we wanted to get the Sun Devils in the mix before they get waxed in the coming weeks, and we have a bunch of readers from Kansas, and felt the need to amuse them.
10. Kansas – Mildly impressed with the road win against Colorado, but we refuse to delve into any talk about a) the BCS or b) an unbeaten season.
9. South Florida – Remainder of the schedule is difficult, and we’d be surprised if the Bulls didn’t end the season with three losses.
8. Arizona State – Awesome weekend, landing Elway’s kid and hammering a sorry Washington team. Neal McCready can take that No. 1 vote and shove it where the sun don’t shine with the Devils get whacked vs. Cal, at Oregon, at UCLA or vs. USC.
7. Florida – Actually hoping to see these guys in the National title game over anyone else from the SEC.
6. Oregon – Just another season for the Ducks – offensive orgy, no quality wins.
5. Oklahoma – Sooners sleepwalk to a 17-7 win over Iowa State, inspire zero confidence in anyone that they will make the BCS title game watchable.
4. USC – Nothing like a bumpy plane ride to cure a two-week slump.
3. Boston College – Eagles had a bye week, just like their opponent this week, Virginia Tech. The better coaching staff will win.
2. LSU – Les Miles is crazy and lucky. How bad is Glenn Dorsey hurt?
1. Ohio State – Finally, a test: at 24th-ranked Penn State. The Nittany Lions are unbeaten at home … isn’t that what Purdue was saying before OSU whipped ‘em?

Big games this weekend could jumble things up (again).
Ohio St. vs. Penn St.
USC vs. Oregon
BC vs. VT
WV vs Rutgers
Florida vs. Georgia
Cal vs. ASU
I’m not too invested in the rankings as things are certainly going to work themselves out. If Oregon wins, they need to go to the top 3. The thrashing of Michigan looks better and better each week. And Dixon should be getting a little Heisman love.
Not really liking USC or Oklahoma a whole lot these days.

A few things:
A) who the f cares about a bumpy plane ride. Is it really worth a post? How sad is that blog?
B) How much tang is Elway’s kid going to get? He won’t have the Tebow hype nationally, but at ASU, that kid is going to be a God. QB + ASU slutty co-eds + famous father = gold mine.

SweaterVest + $$$$$ + easiest schedule in footbal = Go Bucks. Mozatta, I would rather have your formula hands down. Do some research and get me some grant money to study that shit.

I think Oregon is as good as any 1-loss team in the country, save LSU. USC hasn’t been impressive at all this season. I think Oregon wins that matchup, and should be talked about for the National title game if they win.

ASU and Kansas do deserve a little bit of credit for not losing this year. This is the ultimate year of upsets in College Football and both have managed to go unscathed while the major players in their conferences (Oregon losing to Cal, USC to Stanford, Oklahoma to Colorado, and Texas to Kansas St) were unable to accomplish the same feat. They will most assuredly fall sooner rather than later, but for now, they deserve some props.

The only thing sorrier than the state of college football this season is my resolve to keep betting on those games and subsequent losing (stupid Les Miles and his rotten backup quarterback cost me a three-teamer since I was giving 10 with them)
October 22nd, 2007 at 1:14 PM
I said on 10/1 that Kansas would be in the top 10 by the end of the month, so I guess I can live with #10 for now. I will let you know that the Jayhawks are 6-0 against the spread this year. They are favored by 4 this week at A&M just in case you were thinking about wagering this week after the Hawks blew your parlay Saturday.
Interesting fact: None of the 36 wins the five reamining undefeated teams has is over an opponent currently in the top 25. And only three were ranked at the time they played, Purdue (OSU), Georgia Tech (BC), and Kansas State (KU).
FYI to Oregon and USC: You shouldn’t be able to lose at home to Cal or Stanford and remain in the top 10.

You mean “Two Interceptions that cost Oregon the Cal Game at home” Dixon for Heisman?
October 22nd, 2007 at 1:20 PM
Sorry NSR about mocking the Dixon for Heisman campaign. I should have read your well stated comments on ASU and KU first.
October 22nd, 2007 at 1:21 PM
A win at Michigan doesn’t count as a quality win for Oregon?
October 22nd, 2007 at 1:25 PM
AzHawk,
If Oregon wins out, nobody will remember what happened against Cal in early October. I don’t think he’s the front-runner, but I think he deserves to be mentioned. Compare his numbers to Ryan’s.
October 22nd, 2007 at 1:26 PM
Uhh, that was Oregon “hammering a sorry Washington team”. ASU played… oh, right, no one. They had a bye week.
October 22nd, 2007 at 1:26 PM
As an aside, where are all those people who a few weeks ago were talking about what a great coach Ty Willingham is? His Huskies team sucks balls. Charlie Weiss isn’t better right now but it’s not like Notre Dame fired a coaching genuis like some were saying a few weeks ago.
October 22nd, 2007 at 1:27 PM
Moz – let me revise your equation a little with some Valley of the Sun experience thrown in: Anyone + ASU slutty coeds + nothing else = gold mine still.

Jack Elway = DUI sophomore year.
October 22nd, 2007 at 1:31 PM
Oregon scares the hell out of me. The combination of Dixon and Stewart is just ridiculous. Way too much speed. The only way Oregon can be beat is to contain Dixon and Stewart, limiting their ability to find open space, and forcing Dixon to throw. Dixon, in my opinion, is nothing more than an average passer.
“A sorry Washington team”, that’s the best you can do right now? Last week you did a much better job of attacking the Devils. I expected so much more with last weekend being a bye week for the Devils and having them end up in the top 10 for doing nothing.

what purdue was saying was the seam thing MSU was saying “Best offense we will rush for 150yards blah blah blah. another beat down(and look past the msu score, game was a complete beat down)
people keep looking past the buckeyes…kinda like 2002. defense keeps shutting people down. only gave up 3 points to the spartans last week….
beatdown defense people.

“I’m not too invested in the rankings as things are certainly going to work themselves out.”
Well put.
Oh no. TBL ranked the Hawks in the Top 10. Kiss ‘O Death. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.
October 22nd, 2007 at 1:49 PM
Ahh, but what about this, Jack Elway(Good Lawyer) X ASU slut + overall good atmosphere + any sort of BCS = not guilty (yall got to feel me)
October 22nd, 2007 at 2:12 PM
Good ol’ Jack is going to put a new meaning behind the Mile High Salute.
October 22nd, 2007 at 2:31 PM
Stop riding USC, please..did you see them play Stanford and Arizona? This is a crock..lets look at these 5 one loss schools and their two best wins and their loss
USF- wins at Auburn, WVU, loss at Rutgers
USC- Wins at Nebraska, um..at Washington? Loss home to Stanford
Oklahoma- wins Texas, Missouri at home. Loss At Colorado
Oregon -wins at Michigan..umm, Houston? Loss home to Cal
Missouri- Illinois, Nebraska Loss At Oklahoma
Please tell me how USC is better than any of those teams. With 7 games into the year you have a true look at exactly how good these teams really are. TBL, do you watch college football? Seriously. It looks like you guys rolled out of bed looked at the paper and saw, Oh USC has one loss, they must be good! What if Oregon beats them on saturday? USC only falls to 8 because they lost to a good team?
ridiculous.

Jack Elway = herpes by 09′
October 22nd, 2007 at 3:06 PM
For the record, no Purdue fan thought we were going to beat Ohio State.
October 22nd, 2007 at 3:12 PM
Jack Elway is a 2 star recruit per Rivals. In other words, BFD.
October 22nd, 2007 at 3:51 PM
ASU is more excited about daddy’s car dealership money coming to the school than Jack. Michael Crow and Lisa Love will receive him with open hands…arms.
October 22nd, 2007 at 5:30 PM
Not sure why Oregon was even considering Elway Jr. They run a spread “option” offense and the kid isn’t exactly fleet of foot.
And this is the second week in a row that you’ve mistaken the schedule of a Pac-10 team.

CaseyLive? That is too good. Those of you out there who don’t know, and judging by the nique hits, you haven’t, Casey is the Blazers blogger for oregonlive.com. That would be the Oregonian’s affiliate. Awesome, Blazers and Duck fans unite! Take down the condoms and whip .28 in two weeks. Snoooooooooooop
