College Football Top 25

1. Florida (1) - The Gators followed their win against Kentucky with a week off. Crafty move. Especially with a concust QB. Not sure whether Tebow plays this week, but they may need him against the Tigers.
2. Texas (2) - The Longhorns also had the week off last week so they get to stay put at 2.
3. Alabama (3) - The Crimson Tide did not disappoint last week with another blowout win, albeit against lowly Kentucky. Next up for the Crimson Tide is a game against preseason media darling Ole Miss.
4. LSU (4) - The Tigers were the recepients of a lot of naysay last week but proved their worth with a win at Georgia. Now LSU looks to stay hot against visiting Florida. Hopefully for them, #15 won't make the trip.
5. Boise State (5) - The Broncos had their first poor performance of '09 with a lackluster showing against lowly UC Davis. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt but there can't be any more of these games if they want to stick in the Top 5.
6. Virginia Tech (6) - The Hokies struggled a bit with Duke before putting the Blue Devils away. Tech will need a better showing this week against a jacked up Boston College team.
7. Cincinnati (8) - Cincy demolished Miami (Ohio) 37-13 as QB Tony Pike continues to impress. Noone has captured the imaginations of that city like this since Venus Fly Trap was grooving on WKRP.
8. USC (9) - The Trojans took care of buisness in typical form on a road trip to Cal. Now USC has the week off before tussling with the Notre Dame Irish.
9. Ohio State (10) - Another big win for the Buckeyes against Indiana. Now OSU will face Wisconsin who just retained control of Paul Bunyan's axe. I bet Brett Bilema shaves with it.
10. TCU (13) - The Horned Frogs defeated rival SMU 39-14 in the Skillet Bowl. I didn't even realize that game had a monicker.
11. Oklahoma State (12) - The Cowboys, much like the rest of the Big 12 took last week off. I bet OU wishes it had done the same.
12. Penn State (14) - All the Nittany Lions needed to get over their slump was a little juice - Juice Williams that is.
13. Oregon (21) - Maybe I'm hopping back into the Oregon bandwagon a bit too quickly but after two straight dominating performances the Ducks are looking like the team to beat in the Pac 10. Plus that Boise loss ain't looking too shabby now.
14. Mississippi (15) - I'm still not liking Ole Miss much, but I can't rank them lower than this. South Carolina may have the best defense in the nation so that loss isn't so bad. Ole Miss has a huge test in Bama this week.
15. Georgia Tech (17) - The Yellow Jackets picked up a big win against Mississippi State last week and remain in contention for the ACC title. Up next for GT - a fastly crumbling Florida State program.
16. Nebraska (18) - The Huskers are one play away fron 4-0 and flirting with the Top 10, but its all for naught if they can't get it done against the Tigers in Columbia. This may be Bo Pelini's biggest test as coach thus far.
17. Miami (23) - The Hurricanes are 3-1 after a murderous start to the season which could have left many teams 0-4. Kudos to the media's cocky knights in blinged out armour.
18. Iowa (NR) - I know the Hawkeyes are undefeated but I've seen this song and dance before. Kirk Ferentz has to keep this going consistently.
19. Kansas (20) - Kansas had the week off last week. Well played.
20. Oklahoma (7) - A tough fall for the defending Big 12 champs, but with their QB and best target out this is what they're capable of. Hopefully for OU, Bradford will be healthy soon.
21. Notre Dame (25) - The Golden Domers keep eeking out wins. In two weeks they face USC. If they win that one we could be looking at Heisman Trophy favorite Jimmy Clausen.
22. BYU (19) - I know BYU won last week but I had to drop them after the OU loss and Florida State's fallout. That OU looks less impressive and the FSU loss looks disheartening.
23. Missouri (NR) - Nebraska and Missouri cross paths Thursday in a game that has major implications for the division.
24. South Florida (NR) Nobody circles the wagons like the South Florida Bulls. But can they do it in late October and November? It remains to be seen.
25. TIE Wisconsin & South Carolina (NR) - Wisconsin is undefeated and must continue to win to show the last two poor seasons were because of external factors. South Carolina may have the best defense in the nation, but is there any offense?
