New polls released: Texas No. 1…USC No. 4??
Thanks to their thrilling 45-35 win over previously top-ranked Oklahoma, the Texas Longhorns moved into the No. 1 spot in the latest college football rankings.
USA Today Top 25:
1. Texas
2. Alabama
3. Penn State
4. USC
5. Texas Tech
6. Oklahoma
7. Florida
8. BYU
9. Georgia
10. Oklahoma State
I hate to pick on Texas Tech because they’re exciting to watch, but they’re proof that the college football system is crap. These are the teams the Red Raiders have beaten this year: Eastern Washington, Nevada, Southern Methodist, Massachusetts, Kansas State and Nebraska. And they had to go into overtime to beat Nebraska. On neutral ground, I’ve got to believe Florida and Oklahoma beat Texas Tech.
And USC is already back in the top 5, are you kidding me? I’m not a big Ohio State advocate, but their only loss was to USC back in mid-September and they still can’t crack the top 10. Yet the Trojans lost to an unranked Oregon State team three weeks ago and they’re magically back in the top 5? What a crock.
Couldn’t agree more… every year USC loses to a much inferior opponent and gets a free pass. OSU loses to only the best teams in the country and everyone hates on them. How is it possibly better to lose to unranked teams than it is to lose to top 5 teams? America’s love of USC is garbage.
Tough call. USC gets way too much love, but each team after the top 3 has some issues. USC would be a favorite on any neutral field against anyone after the top 3.
The Buckeyes are also a tough call. They are going through some growing pains on offense. Pryor will be a star, but he is still a freshman. If they beat Michigan State and then Penn State, they should jump pretty high in the polls.
Hook ‘em Baby!!!!
“Tejas” rules! I’d love to see them play ND!
Oh please… ND?? Another Americans’ favorite team… who did they beat? Michigan? Charlie Weis is a joke!
I think Oklahoma, Florida and Georgia should rank ahead of USC.
