With the new AP and USA Today Top 25 polls posting over the weekend, it’s time to take a look at the top 10 in college football.

As far as the two official polls go, there weren’t any big changes…unless you consider Auburn falling to #10 and #11 (in the AP and USA Today polls, respectively) a big change. The other big move was Florida, which after essentially crushing LSU on Saturday, moved into the top three in both the AP and USA Today 25 polls.

In my rankings, there are going to be movers and shakers as well. Like I said in my Weekend Wrap for college football, I will not eat the corn bread on SEC teams as much as I have. Yes, LSU and Auburn are still powerful football teams and yes the SEC has a tough schedule – but giving a two-loss team rights over West Virginia is just horse manure and I won’t stand for it anymore, SEC fans!

Here is how I see the Top 10:

1. Ohio State (6-0)
The Buckeyes schedule is a cakewalk until November 18 vs. Michigan. OSU is at Michigan State (which has obviously lost all sanity after the defeat to Notre Dame), home for Indiana, Minnesota and then at Illinois and Northwestern before the Wolverines come to town. Expect QB Troy Smith and WR Ted Ginn Jr. to pad their Heisman stats for another five weeks before really having to play again.

2. Florida (6-0)
Nobody has a tougher three-game stretch than the Gators. Florida dismantled LSU in an impressive fashion last Saturday and now has to travel to a pissed off Auburn team this weekend before coming back to Gainesville to face Georgia. If the Bulldogs can somehow stay ranked (and I say “somehow” after watching them get destroyed by Tennessee), they would be the fourth top 25 opponent that the Gators would have played on its ’06 schedule. If Florida can top Auburn and Georgia the next two weeks and Tennessee keeps up its surge to the top 10 (remember, Florida beat the Vols 21-20 earlier this season in Knoxville), than the Gators might have an outside chance at being ranked #1 if OSU falters even a little bit.

3. Michigan (6-0)
What a trio of performers the Wolverines own in RB Mike Hart, QB Chad Henne and WR Mario Manningham. Manningham is starting to become for Henne what Braylon Edwards was for Jon Navarre a few seasons ago. It’s hard to believe that Super Mario is just a sophomore too. Unlike Ohio State, however, Michigan still has a few programs left on its schedule that can still trip them up. The Wolverines still face Penn State and Iowa the next two weeks before finishing with some fluff teams before traveling to Columbus.

4. USC (5-0)
The true test for the Trojan comes soon in a three-game stretch in which USC will play Oregon, California and Notre Dame (all somehow at home). For now, however, the Trojans aren’t an undisputed #4, but QB John David Booty is finding other weapons in his offense while his number one wide out, Dwayne Jarrett, is still out with an injury. It was Steve Smith who emerged two weeks ago against Washington State while this past Saturday it was sophomore Patrick Turner (12 catches, 116 yards and one touchdown) against Washington. USC isn’t thrashing opponents, but they aren’t losing to Arkansas either.

5. Texas (5-1)
Nice effort by cornerback Aaron Ross in the Long Horns win over the Sooners last Saturday. Ross had two interceptions, eight tackles and scored essentially the game winning points for Texas on a fumble recovery for a touchdown. I wrote last week how people seem to have forgotten about the Long Horns after their defeat to Ohio State, but wouldn’t it be something if Florida and/or Michigan get tripped up in the next two weeks and Texas squeezes back into the top five of either the AP or USA Today polls?

6. West Virginia (5-0)
Yeah, I know that the Mountaineers aren’t playing any stiff competition because of the conference they’re in. But they also have the second best rushing attack in all of college football and have the third best rusher in the NCAA in Steve Slaton. West Virginia would beat LSU and Auburn right now on natural ground – mark it down.

7. Tennessee (5-1)
Oh, man did the Volunteers take Georgia behind the woodshed last weekend. 51-33? If Tennessee could have staved off a late comeback to Florida in Knoxville earlier last month, the Vols are easily a top five program. Erik Ainge and Robert Meachem are coming to a playground near you.

8. Auburn (5-1)
Hey, every team has games like the Tigers did against Arkansas last Saturday and lets face it, the Razorbacks have been playing good football as of late. But you just can’t lose at home to an unranked team when you’re rated at #2 in the nation. I’m glad I saved face and moved Auburn down to #4 in my Power Rankings last week before this past weekend’s debacle.

9. Louisville (5-0)
The Cardinals just scored again…somewhere in America.

10. Notre Dame (5-1)
Somehow, someway, the Irish fight their way back into the top 10. Damn you Michigan State! You had ND on the freakin’ ropes for three quarters you shmucks! Ahh well, the Irish still have one of the best quarterbacks in the nation and RB Darius Walker is starting to hit is stride again, so I guess Notre Dame is deserving of top 10 honors again…I guess.
