My college top 25, v. 2.0.
1. Alabama - They are the best team to this point, hands down.
2. UT - Talk all the shit you want about that first half. Scoreboard.
3. UF - They went in to a tough atmosphere and got a win, but that game was ugly.
4. Va. Tech - I guarantee nobody wants to play these dudes, including ‘Bama, who already beat them.
5. Boise St. - They had a week off, and managed to move up a spot.
6. Ohio St. - Will they play this well when they get into another ‘big’ game?
7. USC - They had a week off, and managed to move up three spots. Way to go, Trojans!
8. Miami - They beat FAMU handily and got jumped. WTF?
9. Cincy - They had a week off, and got double jumped. WTF?
10. Nebraska - Yes, it was ugly, also. But, they did what they needed to do.
11. Oregon - Rollin’. USC on Halloween?
12. Iowa - Solid.
13. TCU - Great article in SI last week. Not so great of a game, but @ AF is tougher than you might think.
14. Penn St. - You think JoePa is giggling at Bowden? Probably not, but it’s a funny thought.
15. S. Carolina - Too close, but again, it’s a win.
16. USF - Their game against Cincy on Thursday is must see in my book.
17. Pitt - Nice comeback. If they had beaten NCSU, they’d be higher. LDO.
18. WV - That loss to Auburn not a good loss now.
19. Utah - Only loss is to Oregon. Still. Yep, hasn’t changed.
20. LSU - Yeah, yeah, Florida is good. So is LSU. Just not THAT good.
21. KU - A 5 point win against the Cyclones doesn’t impress me. Will they beat CU before having to play OU?
22. Okie St. - WTF, Dez?
23. OU - They make their debut. UT weekend should be fun. Anyone got an extra ticket?
24. Arkansas - Inconsistent. Will they ride the up wave further, all the way to an upset in the Swamp?
25. Notre Dame - A week off, and they’re in. I just wish Floyd wasn’t hurt.
Other: BYU, Idaho, SMU, Auburn, GT, Tulsa, UH, and CMU.
Yes, my 5th place team from last week (Auburn) is now an other. I waited until October to avoid craziness, but it’s unavoidable.

How does OU not make the top 25 last week and are now at #23 after an unconvincing win over lowly Baylor? If one didn’t know better, they might think it was shoehorned in solely for trying to score a ticket to OU-Texas. I’m not sayin’, but I’m just sayin’.

You’re right. I don’t think OU is a top 25 team. I just thought out of my thousands of readers, one would give me a ticket. Strangely, no offers have emerged yet.
