Sparty?

I don't mean to marginalise your suffering, but this is a damn funny post.
I know the governors got involved, and you have to play a certain amount of in-state teams, but what is with the top-ranked teams playing really marginal teams? Does it really matter that Texas slaughtered UTEP, for example? Chalk up a meaningless win.
Interesting week, though - lots of upsets! Quality football all around. Here are my top ten, just for shits and giggles:
1. Alabama
2. Florida (not sure they're going to be #1 without their quarterback, and I bet he's out next week at least)
3. Texas
4. Oklahoma
5. Virginia Tech
6. TCU
7. Houston
8. Michigan
9. USC
10. LSU
(notably absent - Ohio St. - they are just not a top ten team. time to move on from the sweater vest.)
oh, and when to the [bullshit] bcs rankings start again?

Three weeks from today, October 18th. :2 cents:
While I'm here, here's the updated AP poll and USA Today poll. The first Harris poll comes out later today.
At least on Michigan so far.....my Wolverines don't belong anywhere near the top 10 with our defense.
We've replaced DCs and Greg Robinson is attempting to run a 3-4 firezone blitz package and it doesn't appear to be consistent so far. I think we need more athletes at LB but it could just be a matter of the personnel understanding the scheme better....In either case, our defensive front is getting killed. We have to go back to the 4-3 so at least we'll be solid on the Dline and above average at the LB level.
As it stands we are just not consistent enough on D to be serious contenders for anything yet except for maybe highest ranked team in the state of Michigan.

Iowa will win the BIG 10 this year
wow, i'm a little surprised that michigan isn't a bit higher, that california dropped THAT much, that ohio state is in the top ten, and that notre dame isn't on there. notre dame usually gets ranked way too easily.

How the hell is OSU in the top ten?
Cal getting dropped to #24 is a complete joke.
I don't know if Iowa can win it with their schedule they still have to go to 3 of the toughest places to play in the B10 (Camp Randall, Spartan Stadium and the 'Shoe).
I think Michigan is about right....Iowa, Nebraska should be higher but I think Cincy should be a little lower.

True, they do have a tough road schedual, but the last two games that I watched, their D is FAST and the two true freshman running backs are going to just get better and they have no fear or pounding it out. I really can't wait for Iowa and Mich, might come down to the big 10 championship.
Cincy should be lower, they really have not played anyone tough as of yet. Pitt NC State was a great game yesterday as well.
No disagreement here on Iowa....they're probably the most physical, athletic team in the B10...along with maybe OSU...the difference between Iowa and OSU though is Iowa believes they are the most physical team on the field. OSU just believes they are the more talented team on the field IMO.

The only talen of OSU is Pryor, dude is a stud, well at least he was a Mckeesport High School. I would say iowa is the most physical team in the NCAA D1 football period.
Unimpressed. Cincy has to do more than that IMO. Especially when you look at each of the teams you've cited. The most impressive win among their opponents is a win by Rutgers over UMD (and Maryland stinks!!).
I'm not saying Cincy isn't a good team...they just need to do more than they've done so far for me to think they're top 10 material.

He went to Jeanette HS, not McKeesport. :nono:
cal still being in the top 25 is a complete joke.
If every team was ranked according to how Cal just was ranked: Mississippi, Penn St, USC, and OKlahoma St would be out of the top 25
cal lost 42-3, thats my point. i dont think Mississippi or Penn St should be in the top 25...both teams face bad teams and keep rising in the polls and blow it the first time they face a solid team, they have no right to be in the top 25.
