theGMs newest College Football Top 10

Last week's installment of the top ten can be found here. But before we get to this week's top ten lets examine my post from Thursday about the BCS imploding. It is well on its way!

Alabama beat LSU virtually eliminating the Tigers from contention.

Ohio State beat Penn State which eliminated the Lions.

Oregon lost to Stanford in a shocker which knocks the Ducks out of contention.

Iowa lost to Northwestern which gives them a loss and more than likely gets rid of them.

That is a pretty good weekend but more needs to be done. While TCU did make it to #4 in the BCS I think Cincinnati will pass them if they were to run the table. Meaning Cincy still needs to lose.

But that should happen. The other problem and the bigger problem is Texas. Will Texas lose? Florida or Alabama will be out because of them playing each other and there is no chance two teams from the same conference will play against each other in the title game.

There are still a couple other teams to watch out for, Pittsburgh and Georgia Tech. And if Pittsburgh truly has a chance then so would Iowa. But with their remaining schedule it might be enough.

Again....the key to TCU making the title game (outside of TCU actually winning all their games) is Texas losing.


Now its time for this week's top 10....

1. Texas (1) 9-0 | The Longhorns are the best team I have seen this season. They have been the most consistent on both sides of the ball and have executed as well as anyone. A couple tests remain but nothing that stands out from the rest. As long as they win they should make the title game.
2. Alabama (2) 9-0 | Beating LSU was definitely impressive and they have cemented themselves in as the best team in the SEC in my opinion. Offensively they still struggle at times which is why they remain behind Texas. They still need to win out to get to the title game.
3. Florida (3) 9-0 | Not nearly as dominant a team as they were last season which is what is keeping them down in my rankings. Still very good but not as good as the Tigers or Longhorns at this point.
4. Cincinnati (6) 9-0 | They struggled a bit with UConn which raises very large warning flags with WVU and Pitt still to come but they did win and that's all that matters at the end of the day.
5. TCU (7) 9-0 | Personally I want them to make the title game as I legitimately think they can win it but they need help obviously. Beating up on SDSU is good but doing it to Utah will be better.
6. Boise State (10) 9-0 | They move up in my rankings thanks to many losses and Georgia Tech's struggles against Wake. They really only have one more test and it is barely a test. They will never jump TCU or many 1 loss teams with their schedule.
7. Georgia Tech (8) 8-1 | As good an executing team as their is in the country but struggling with Wake is not good. But they won and in a few weeks no one will even remember their struggles. An ACC title (and no more losses) could be enough to get them moved up.
8. LSU (4) 7-2 | When your two losses are to the #2 and #3 teams then you don't drop far. Against any other conference leader (except Texas) they would probably dominate.
9. Pittsburgh (-) 8-1 | This team is performing as well as anyone. They haven't really proven themselves just yet but their opportunities begin in a couple weeks.
10. Miami (-) 7-2 | They weren't even on the radar last week but when teams lose to Northwestern and Stanford they can no longer appear on this list until they redeem themselves.

Just Missed:

Utah - they are 8-1 with only a loss to Oregon on their resume. They have 2 chances to prove themselves and ruin my dreams....starting this week against TCU.
Iowa - they are still 9-1 but just as easily could be 7-3 in my opinion. They have to beat OSU to even be considered for the top 10.
