My 2010 College Football Top 25 Rankings Week 11
Rank | Up/Down | Record | Team |
---|---|---|---|
1 | – | 9-0 | Oregon – Oregon runs away with it after a slow start against Washington… just three games remain. |
2 | – | 10-0 | Auburn – Cam Newton allegations overshadowing great news; SEC West Title just a mere win over Georgia away with LSU’s upset of Alabama. |
3 | – | 10-0 | TCU – Simply destroyed Utah on the road, making a much louder statement than Boise State did in scratching by Virginia Tech earlier this year. |
4 | 1 | 8-0 | Boise State – Great win at home against Hawaii, but it was TCU’s day to shine. Boise State will have to have a similarly dominant effort when they face Nevada at the end of the month. |
5 | 7 | 8-1 | LSU – With win over Alabama, you can question this teams’ offense or call them lucky all you like, but the results have spoken for themselves this season. |
6 | 1 | 8-1 | Wisconsin – Fresh off the bye with big win over Purdue, and Indiana at home should be just as easy. |
7 | 3 | 8-1 | Stanford – Finally had a chance to prove how good they are against Arizona, and did so with flying colors. Look to be well on their way to a BCS Bowl Game. |
8 | 3 | 8-1 | Nebraska – Needed overtime to fend off pesky Iowa State on the road, but got the job done. Will need a sharper road effort at Texas A&M in two weeks. |
9 | 1 | 8-1 | Ohio State – Rested up for tough final stretch vs. Penn State, at Iowa, and vs. Michigan. |
10 | 5 | 9-1 | Michigan State – Bounced back from first loss of the season with comfortable blowout win against Minnesota, and now get a week off to prepare for final two games. |
11 | 8 | 8-1 | Oklahoma State – With big win over Baylor, the Cowboys control their fate in the Big 12 South. |
12 | 7 | 7-2 | Alabama – Still had a shot at defending their National Title, but lost it with their loss to LSU. If not for their comeback against Arkansas, this season could be even worse. |
13 | 3 | 7-2 | Iowa – Need to focus on Northwestern this week and not get caught looking ahead to the Ohio State game. |
14 | 4 | 7-2 | Arkansas – Convincing win over South Carolina shows off SEC West’s superiority; Arkansas still has an outside shot of making it into a BCS bowl. |
15 | 9 | 8-1 | Utah – No shame in losing to TCU, but getting completely destroyed at home in such a meaningful game? Bit of shame in that. |
16 | 4 | 7-2 | Mississippi State – Upset over Alabama this week isn’t completely out of the question if the Crimson Tide are still moping about last week’s loss. |
17 | 4 | 7-2 | Arizona – Wasn’t even able to muster up a fight against Stanford, and get another high-powered offense this week at home against USC. |
18 | 3 | 7-2 | Virginia Tech – Tough road trip ahead at UNC and Miami, but the Hokies appear to once again be the class of the ACC. |
19 | 5 | 7-2 | Missouri – Season appears to be unraveling a bit with loss at Texas Tech, but being back at home this week may help calm things down. |
20 | 11 | 7-2 | Oklahoma – Hard to believe this team was #1 in the nation not too long ago; the Sooners just don’t have what it takes to win on the road this season. |
21 | 1 | 8-1 | Nevada – Offense has really picked up their game since Hawaii loss; should be 10-1 by the time Boise State comes to town. |
22 | 5 | 6-3 | South Carolina – Signature win over Alabama earlier this season won’t mean much if the Gamecocks lose the SEC East to Florida this Saturday. |
23 | – | 6-3 | Texas A&M – 3-3 start put this team out of mind, but losses to Arkansas, Oklahoma State, and Missouri are forgivable; and big win over Oklahoma was impressive. |
24 | – | 6-3 | Florida – Despite a 4-3 conference record, Florida is a win over South Carolina away from representing the SEC East in the SEC Championship Game. |
25 | 3 | 7-3 | Baylor – Bumped from most Top 25 lists after bad showing at Oklahoma State, but I don’t see anyone much more deserving of the final spot. |
Dropped Out: Florida State (#24), North Carolina State (#25)
Hi Dave,
What do you think of the Wildcats of KSU?
I am taking those +13 this weekend against Mizzou.
