Top10 college teams (10/4/2006)

not who I'd vote for in an AP method
not any ranking equation

from what i've seen with my very own 2 eyes

took my name out of the title as it was too egotistical and tdarko did a better job at carrying the last thread than me anyway

1. Ohio State up 1 as they win a big game on the road rather easily against a #13 team that played well and Auburn really struggled
2. Auburn down 1 from last week--made South Carolina's offense look good
3. LSU up 1--continues to dominate offensively and defensively...very rounded team
4. USC down 1--injury issues and its offense is looking shaky
5. Louisville the same--off-week before putting up 70 on MTSU
6. Michigan up 2--offense remains a balanced show. Defense proved it's not a fluke by shutting down Wisconsin and Minnesota back-2-back. Needs Breaston to step up or Manningham to run more than a go route to move up IMO.
7. Texas down 1--creamed a cream puff. This weekend is a true barometer to see how far they've come since tOSU.
8. Florida down 1--beat Bama as expected. We'll see how Leak handles pressure this week. Injury to Wynn hurts.
9. West Virginia same--off-week, let's see how they do verse Miss St.
10. Tennessee new--demolished a nobody. Has the best win and toughest loss of any of the one loss teams. Get to prove themselves again this weekend

dropped out-Georgia
they just don't have the offense

Im surprised Tennessee hasnt been in the top 10 polls. They barely lost to Florida which is simply a great team. Erike Ainge looks better about every game.

Tennessee is getting hammered for their letdown game verse Air Force

They lost a tough game to Florida by 1 and beat a very good Cal team

They crushed Marshall and Memphis

If they can show it on the road this week, everyone will sit up and notice the VOLS again

I agree with Tenn. in and UGA dropping out since the last thread and is why I am going with the Vols this weekend. Not only has Tennessee looked great every game including a tough loss to a great team (Florida) they also dominated a very good Cal team the first week of the season. They look face-lifted compared to last year.

I think you've got LSU too high. They've dominated cupcakes so far. They are the best 1-loss team though.

1 OSU (not close)
2 Auburn (best win outside of OSU)
3 Florida (tie with Michigan, but the SEC wins my tiebreakers)
4 Michigan (most consistent team and biggest road win outside of OSU)
5 USC (lots of decent wins, but no big ones)
6 Louisville (so impressed with Petrino)
7 LSU (maybe the most talent, but Les Miles...I don't know.)
8 West Virginia (when does their season start?)
9 Oregon (OU "win" has them playing lights out now. The Cal game could be a classic.)
10 Texas (Still so many questions. I know it was Ohio State, but you're the national champs. 24-7 on your home field?)

IMHO, Texas has no resume to be in the top 10. They got owned at home (granted, the #1 team) and they haven't beaten ANYBODY worthy.

1. Ohio State
2. Auburn
3. Florida
4. Michigan
5. USC
6. Louisville
7. Oregon
8. West Virginia
9. LSU
10. Tennessee

I find this last bit funny. What does "National Champs" have to do with anything? That was last year and this year they aren't anywhere near that team and were up against a team that outclasses them on both sides of the football, they could have played this game on a parking lot in 6th street and tOSU wins--location nor titles can't win you games when you just simply aren't as good as the team you are up against.
