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.
