theGM's College Football Top 10

Wow...two weeks in a row! Now we are talking about consistency. Here is last week's in case you are curious. Numbers in parentheses are last weeks rankings.

1. Texas (2) 8-0 | When you absolutely embarrass two teams in consecutive weeks, on the road, that are considered challengers...you move up. There were a couple questionable performances early in the season but the last 3 weeks...no better team in the country.
2. Alabama (1) 8-0 | I know they didn't play so they shouldn't drop but lets remember how they looked the week before the bye...barely getting passed an average Tennessee team. Texas played great and Bama played okay. Now they get LSU...prove how good you are.
3. Florida (3) 8-0 | Beating Georgia is good but not that good. That is exactly the game I would hope Florida has. Not good enough to move up but they aren't moving down either. Won't move up anymore unless Texas or Bama fall.
4. LSU (5) 7-1 | Did what they were supposed to with a 42-0 beating of Tulane. Take away the Florida game and this team is possibly best in the country.
5. Oregon (10) 7-1 | Wow...who saw that coming? I expected the Ducks to win but they just took it to the Trojans. Last week I had USC #4 so Oregon gets a big bump after beating up on them.
6. Cincinnati (6) 8-0 | This team is winning without their starting quarterback right now...that's how good they are. Unfortunately they are beating Big East teams and no one cares. But no comes their tests...UConn this week, West Virginia next.
7. TCU (8) 8-0 | They handled UNLV 41-0....what else do you want. Not sure how good they are but I would love to see them play against the big boys to find out.
8. Georgia Tech (7) 8-1 | Minus the VaTech game and this is hands down the best team in the ACC. It's funny cause defenses know what is coming and yet they can't stop it.
9. Iowa (9) 9-0 | Most other undefeated teams would be much higher than this but that isn't necessarily right. They got TONS of help from the officials this past weekend and if they somehow make it to the National Title game they will be exposed.
10. Boise State (-) 8-0 | They have beaten everyone they have played including Oregon but they are still short of quality opponents. If they win them all they will surely move up.

Just Missed:

• Penn State - another good win on the road. Welcomes OSU this weekend...win that and they are probably back in the Top 10.
• Pittsburgh - didn't play this weekend...get Syracuse next weekend which won't help them. After that they get Notre Dame, Cincy, and WVU. Tough stretch.
