2. Oregon (#4) (8-1) - BYE - mark this down - Oregon will be one of the teams in the BCS Title game....they too got a scare when QB Dennis Dixon left the game with a knee injury....things look okay though....
3. LSU (#3) (8-1) - La. Tech - a huge win for Les Miles....the Tigers had way too many penalties and were inconsistent at times.....but in the end, the Tiger fans are thrilled that Satan Saban lost....
4. Kansas (#5) (9-0) - @ Oklahoma State - a great win for Kansas....whenever you drop 76 on a Nebraska team, people have to take notice.....the Fighting Manginos have to be on Upset Alert this week when they play at Okie State....
5. Oklahoma (#6) (8-1) - Baylor - the Sooners are in cruise control....their next big test will be against Okie State.....
6. West Virginia (#8) (7-1) - Louisville (Thurs)- at the beginning of the season this Thursday’s game against Louisville looked like it would be a battle for Big East supremacy.....now it looks like another beatdown for a disappointing Louisville team....
7. Missouri (#9) (8-1) - Texas A&M - in consecutive weeks. A&M lost to Kansas and Oklahoma....they might as well go for the triple play and get pounded by Missouri...
8. Georgia (#10) (7-2) - Auburn - the Dawgs get back into SEC play and take on the Road Warriors - Auburn.....this is a bitter rivalry.....
9. Arizona State (#7) (8-1) - @ UCLA - it was a nice run by Sparky’s team....they still have a shot at a BCS bowl, but they have to get through tough games against USC and arch-rival Arizona....
10. Southern Cal (#12) (7-2) - Cal - USC should roll Cal in this game....the Golden Bears have fallen apart after that devastating loss to Oregon State....
11. Virginia Tech (#13) (7-2) - Florida State - the Hokies bounced back nicely after the heartbreaking loss to B.C.....the Seminoles took out BC on Saturday....I don’t see them going into Blacksburg and doing the same....
12. Michigan (#14) (8-2) - @ Wisconsin - Michigan was in serious trouble - down 10 points with 7 minutes left against a Jim Tressel clone.....an impressive comeback....Wisky will be loaded with both PJ Hill and Lance Smith in the backfield....
13. Texas (#15) (8-2) - Texas Tech - the Longhorns may have gotten the signature win they have lacked all year with their comeback in Stillwater....
14. Boston College (#2) (8-1) - @ Maryland - the Eagles dream season is over....look for BC to lose two more games this season.....they are not impressive....
15. Boise State (#16) (8-1) - @ Utah State - Boise State is chugging along toward their November 23rd showdown at Hawaii...
16. Connecticut (8-1) - Syracuse - it looked as if South Florida was going to be the team of the year in the Big East....instead it is the little team from Storrs....
+1 Navy - God Bless their big hearts for finally ending Notre Dame’s 43 year winning streak.....
Dropped out
Alabama (6-3) - a nice effort by the Tide....SEC teams better be prepared because Nick Saban will win a national title at Alabama before he leaves....
