Main boise state article:

College football’s sixth week of competition was full of surprises for the four teams which lost their unbeaten status, and for the rest of the major college teams that learned why Florida started the season on top of the polls and remains on top after the sixth week of play.

Here are this week’s picks for Ed Bagley’s Top 25 Poll:

1) Florida – Traveled to No. 4 LSU and its mighty defense and lukewarm offense and won 13-3. Now you know why the Gators are No. 1 and LSU will be sliding in this poll.

2) Alabama – Traveled to No. 20 Mississippi to meet “the golden arm” Jevan Snead, who threw 4 interceptions as the Crimson Tide won 22-3. Here again, gone again. I am kicking Ole Miss out of my poll.

3) Virginia Tech – I thought Iowa was lame and now Texas is worse. The Hokies look more serious than Iowa and Texas put together.

4) Oregon – Lost its season opener and then got religion. Beat Utah, beat California 42-3, beat Washington State 52-6 and now ripped UCLA on-the-road 24-10.

5) Ohio State – Beat undefeated Wisconsin 31-13. Have limited their last 4 opponents to 27 points combined.

Things get really murky from here on in the poll. So many of the following teams have such weak victories over weak teams it is too difficult to see who else is a contender or a pretender.

6) Texas – Probably has more talent than Boise State, but could only beat a 1-5 Colorado team by 2 points while giving away 28 points. How can Texas be really good? Can’t rank the Longhorns higher than 6th, and that is a gift they should earn.

7) Boise State – Idle this week, travel to Tulsa next.

Southern California – Idle this week, travel to Notre Dame next.

9) Cincinnati – Idle this week, travel to South Florida next.

10) Iowa – Got by Michigan but not by much. Travel to Wisconsin next.

11) LSU – Have a week to recover before facing Auburn.

12) South Florida – Unbeaten and just as deserving as TCU or Kansas. Host Cincinnati next, a big deal for the Bulls and coach Jim Leavitt.

13) Nebraska – Starting to act like a better team than TCU or Kansas.

14) TCU – Another lame win, this time over Air Force by 3.

15) Kansas – Another insanely lame win over by 5 over Iowa State while giving up 36 points. How long can Kansas stay undefeated? My guess? Not long. They face a pathetic Colorado team next and then get Oklahoma.

16) Miami (FL) – Beat a 1-AA team. Schedule gets easier than pie.

17) Oklahoma State – Won by 5 over Texas A&M while giving up 31 points.

18) Brigham Young – Goes to 5-1 by crushing UNLV 59-21.

19) Georgia Tech – Goes to 5-1 by outlasting Florida State 49-44. Hosts Virginia Tech next, good luck and God speed.

20) Pittsburgh – Now 5-1 after beating Connecticut 24-21. Hardly a big deal but there are some pretty unimpressive teams in anybody’s Top 25 these days.

21) Notre Dame – Idle this week. Host Southern Cal next.

22) South Carolina – Goes to 5-1 by slipping past Kentucky 28-26. Travels to Alabama next. Yikes! Could easily arrive back home at 5-2.

23) Central Michigan – Now 5-1 after ripping the worse major team in the nation—Eastern Michigan—56-8. You tell me a better 5-1 team in the country. Nah, not Penn State; I am not sure they can beat Central Michigan. Penn State likes to play really pansy teams.

24) Idaho – Now 5-1 by playing the 62nd toughest schedule in the nation. The Vandals are no longer a doormat with coach Robb Akey. Idaho was 2-10 last year and has been traditionally one of the weakest teams in the nation. They don’t really play a decent team until Boise State down the road, but at least I reward genuine effort and progress.

25) Penn State – My disdain for the Nittany Lions knows no bounds. Jo Pa would have them playing their opponents’ grandmothers if they could get away with it. Paterno would play college JV teams at home just to pile up another “big” victory for Happy Valley.

Who have I left out? Whoever it is, let them do something so I can notice. It doesn’t take any talent to blow smoke, and it doesn’t take any talent to lose. Win and win big and I will put your team in my poll, until then, let the AP Poll and the Coaches’ Poll reward lame teams in a popularity contest, I just call some teams for what they are—lame in victory, filled with excuses in defeat.

Notary Public Review Class – New York State
This e-book is a must for anyone who is preparing for the New York State Notary Public examination. We review the key points covered in the State Notary Public Law Booklet and offer a practice exam. By Viktor Bujanow, N.y.s. Notary Public over 25 years.

Main boise state article:

Only 13 teams remain undefeated after 5 weeks of play, and it is time to seriously think about elevating some of them into my Top 25 picks, even if they have played mostly weak competitors. Some such teams are already there—like Boise State. So here are Week 5’s Top 25 picks:

1) Florida – Was idle this week and stays on top of the heap. Let’s see what happens when the No. 1 Gators travel to No. 4 LSU this week and tangle with the Tigers. LSU is 4th in the AP Poll this week and 13th in my poll this week.

2) Alabama – Beat Kentucky on-the-road. I kicked Mississippi out of my poll after they lost to South Carolina, and put the Gamecocks into the Top 25. I’m still good with that. Alabama travels to Mississippi this week. If the Rebels upset the Crimson Tide, they get back in my poll. If Mississippi loses, they stay out. Should Alabama get upset—no excuses–they lose position in my poll.

3) Texas – Was idle this week but I am moving them up from 4 to 3 because Iowa was so lame in its 24-21 win over 125th-ranked Arkansas State.

4) Virginia Tech – Beat Duke (no big deal) but is still 5-0 and no one else is really doing diddly-squat.

5) Boise State – Still undefeated and still has a signature win over Oregon in season opener. Travels to 4-1 Tulsa this week. If they do not win, they drop like a brick off of a 10-story building.

6) Oregon – Led a hapless Washington State team 42-0 at the half and won 52-6. Now travels to UCLA and faces Slick Rick and his troops.

7) Ohio State – Hate to upgrade the Buckeyes because I hate Ohio State; it’s an inbred thing because I am a Michigan State University graduate. Buckeyes host Wisconsin this week, the toughest opponent they have seen since losing to Southern Cal.

Iowa – Hawkeyes host Michigan this week. They need to win against the Wolverines—Michigan State did.

9) Cincinnati – Now 5-0 after beating a winless Miami of Ohio team. If teams like Cincinnati played in the SEC, the Bearcats would lose 4 or 5 games a year.

10) South Carolina – People may crab about the Gamecocks, after all, their last win was over 1-AA South Carolina State. I don’t care, South Carolina is 4-1, they beat Mississippi, and even the AP Poll finally brought them into the fold at No. 25. Hosts Kentucky next.

11) Auburn – Not sure they deserve it but still undefeated at 5-0 and beat Tennessee. Go to Arkansas next.

12) Wisconsin – Still 5-0 and got by Minnesota on-the-road. Teams that win away games in league play impress.

13) LSU – Managed to beat Georgia 20-13, and is 5-0. Hosts No. 1 Florida next. AP has them at No. 4; I remain unconvinced.

14) Kansas – Still 4-0, hosts Iowa State this week. Have no idea how good the Jayhawks are, but they are 1 of 13 teams that are still undefeated.

15) TCU – Beat up SMU to go 4-0. Travels to Air Force next, not exactly a big challenge.

16) USC – Southern Cal is now 4-1. The Trojans went to California and killed the Bears 30-3.

17) South Florida ‘Now 5-0 after beating Syracuse.

18) Missouri – Now 4-0, one of 13 undefeated teams left. Hosts Nebraska this week, that should tell us a lot about Missouri and Nebraska.

19) Georgia Tech – Now 4-1 after beating Mississippi State. Travels to Florida State this week; not sure which Seminole team will be defending their home turf.

20) Miami (FL) – Now 4-1 after upsetting No. 8 Oklahoma 21-20. I kicked Oklahoma out of my poll last week. Now you know why.

21) Nebraska – Now 3-1, did lose to Virginia Tech 16-15 on-the-road. Travels to Missouri next; bring it on.

22) Stanford – Now 4-1 after beating UCLA. Also beat Washington. Probably is the second best team in the Pac 10 behind USC.

23) Pittsburgh – Now 4-1 after dusting Louisville.

24) Notre Dame – Now 4-1. Had to go to overtime to beat Washington. Has won last 3 games in the last 60 seconds of each game. Has given up an average of 30 points a game in its last 4 games.

25) Central Michigan – Now 4-1 after beating Buffalo on-the-road.

I know, you are saying where is Penn State, Oklahoma State, Tulsa, Utah, Mississippi, Brigham Young, Michigan, Houston, Georgia and Florida State. Well, they need to stop talking and start performing against really good teams. It’s bad enough that I have Boise State in my Top 25; one of these at a time is enough.

Main boise state article:

Iowa, Oregon, Penn State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma and California all lost ground in the AP Top 25 Poll this week. All of them also lost ground in my Top 25 Poll this week with the exception of Oklahoma—I kicked Oklahoma out of my Poll some time ago, and the Sooners will not find their way back into my Poll anytime soon. Here is how I see it this week:

1) Alabama (9-0) The Crimson Tide won a 24-15 signature victory over the 9th-ranked Louisiana State (LSU) Tigers this week. No team had a bigger win against a better opponent. With the pressure to perform on, Alabama came through to remain unbeaten. The Tide travels to Mississippi State this week.

2) Florida (9-0) The Gators beat a very weak, 119th-ranked, 2-8 Vanderbilt team this week, 27-3. They remain behind Alabama because this was not a killer performance.

3) Texas (9-0) The Longhorns remained unbeaten with a dominating 35-3 win over 83rd-ranked Central Florida; this is one reason why Texas will not be No. 1 or No. 2 in my Poll. Simply put, Texas has not played a really good team all season. Yes, they beat an extremely disappointing 5-4 Oklahoma team, and beat Oklahoma State 41-14 on-the-road, but the Longhorns’ strength of schedule is ranked 52nd by Sagarin whereas Florida is ranked 40th and Alabama 25th. Plus the Big 12 is nowhere near the SEC in competitiveness. Texas gets Baylor next, what a laugher.

4) Texas Christian (9-0) Moves ahead of Cincinnati because the Horned Frogs put a 55-12 drubbing on San Diego State. This is exactly what an unbeaten team should be doing this time of year. Next up is 14th-ranked Utah, a little stiffer competition.

5) Cincinnati (9-0) Remained undefeated by recording a really lame 47-45 squeaker over 52nd-ranked Connecticut. Gets 7-2, 23rd-ranked West Virginia at home this week.

6) Boise State (8-0) Won another 45-35 lame victory, this time over 96th-ranked Louisiana Tech (3-6), another nobody on the Broncos’ schedule. Has played no one all year except Oregon, who is now 7-2 and looking less impressive. The Broncos’ strength of schedule is a whopping 79th.

7) Georgia Tech (9-1) Needed overtime to notch a 30-27 victory over 55th-ranked Wake Forest. Gets Duke team next, and must face in-state rival Georgia in their last game.

Pittsburgh (8-1) Scored in every quarter to win 37-10 over 93rd-ranked Syracuse. Gets nod for 8th position because the Panthers have an offense (15th best in nation) and Iowa doesn’t (74th best). Hosts Notre Dame this week. Pittsburgh has a better scoring defense and should win. Moment of truth comes when the Panthers face Cincinnati in their last game.

9) Iowa (9-1) Had 13-game win streak broken on their home field by Northwestern 17-10 in a game the Hawkeyes should have never lost. The miracle comebacks and close wins have now ended as reality sets in. Iowa’s troubles are just starting—they travel to Ohio State this week and could get crushed by the Buckeyes.

10) LSU (7-2) Lost to Alabama 24-15 on-the-road. Alabama is the best team in the country at the moment. Not many teams can claim that their 2nd loss of the season was to the best team in the country. LSU will be heard from again. Next up is the Tigers’ homecoming game against Louisiana Tech; this could be very bad news for the general health of Louisiana Tech (now 3-6).

11) Ohio State (8-2) Upset 11th-ranked Penn State 24-7 on the Nittany Lions’ home field in Happy Valley, or shall we say Not-So-Happy-Valley. Nation’s top scoring defense was caught sucking some Louisiana Tech pond water between offensive possessions. Buckeye mojo is returning at just the right time. Ohio State gets Iowa at home this week, and the Buckeyes are seeing potential road kill. Should Ohio State be ranked 9th rather than 11th? I will let you know in my next Top 25 Poll.

From No. 12 on, this Poll is hard put to rank any team with a straight face. All of the contenders have been up and down like an unsteady clown on a pogo stick—great one week and lousy the next (prime example is Oregon).

12) Penn State (8-2) Can’t stand Penn State and they were upset at home by Ohio State, however, their only two losses are against Iowa and Ohio State. Southern Cal’s only two losses came against a 3-6 Washington team and Oregon, both away games. Penn State will handle Indiana and in all likelihood Michigan State and finish at 10-2.

13) Southern California (7-2) Picked up tough 14-9 road win at Arizona State and finishes year against Stanford, UCLA and Arizona, another tough road to hoe to end the year at 10-2.

14) Oregon (7-2) Could not stand the success of upsetting 4th-ranked Southern Cal 47-20 last week. Showboating players got their butts kicked this week not by Stanford but by Stanford’s battering ram Toby Gerhart, who rushed for a school-record 223 yards and scored 3 touchdowns as the quack-quack Ducks were hammered at home 51-42 by The Cardinal. Life for the Ducks gets tougher as their last 3 opponents are Arizona State, Arizona and Oregon State. Good luck, quack quacks.

15) Utah (8-1) Hard to ignore Utah’s 8-1 record, but the Utes’ last victory was 45-14 over 164th-ranked and winless New Mexico (0-9). This is the sort of competition Utah faces most weeks during the season; in other words, no competition. The Utes travel to TCU this week to face the 9-0 Horned Frogs. It’s put up or shut up time for Utah this week. Should Utah get squashed by TCU, the Utes will drop in my Poll like a 100-pound sack of tomatoes thrown off a hundred-story building. Utah’s strength of schedule? Don’t even ask, it’s 95th and on the other side of Mars.

16) Houston (8-1) Hard to ignore Houston’s glossy 8-1 mark, but jeepers, their latest victory is a close 46-45 run-and-shoot with a 4-5 Tulsa team. The Cougars have the 2nd best scoring offense in the country, the 86th worst scoring defense, and 114th worst total defense among 120 major college teams. The rest of Houston’s schedule includes 5-4 Central Florida, 2-7 Memphis and 0-9 Rice. The Cougars could end up with an 11-1 mark and be one of the worst 11-1 teams in college football history.

17) Wisconsin (7-2) Took a field goal to get a 31-28 road win over a weak Indiana team last week. Badgers get Michigan next at home, travel to Northwestern and then finish their season with a trip to Hawaii, all of which is to say they could end up 9-3 or 10-2 if they are really on their game.

18) Arizona (6-2) Last seen beating up a pathetic 1-8 Washington State team 48-7 while becoming bowl eligible. Wildcats could be the best 6-2 team in the country, but do have some proving to do, and they have the chance to do it when they next face California, Oregon, Arizona State and Southern Cal in that order. Let’s see how deep down Arizona’s 22 best can dig on their way to better recognition.

19) Navy (7-3) Time for a fresh face. The Midshipmen upset 19th-ranked Notre Dame 23-21 on the home turf of the Fighting Irish, dropping Notre Dame to 6-3. Navy could be skating from here on in—they face 1-AA Delaware (6-3), Hawaii (3-6) and Army (3-6). If Navy wants any props at all, the Midshipmen must end the year at 10-3.

20) Oregon State (6-3) The Beavers are one of the dirtiest teams in the country and consider football games an excuse to legally hurt people. The Beavers were last seen upsetting California 31-14 on-the-road to become bowl eligible. The California Bears? They have made a career out of folding at the wrong time. Oregon State faces Washington (3-6) and Washington State (1-8) before ending their season at Oregon (7-2). Oregon State could be 8-4 or 9-3 when all is said and done.

21) Oklahoma State (7-2) Trashed a very average Iowa State team 34-7 last week, and finish the year against Texas Tech, Colorado and Oklahoma. Let’s see how many of these last 3 the Cowboys can win.

22) Temple (7-2) Lost its first two games and now has run off 7 straight victories after sneaking by Miami of Ohio 34-32. As Al Davis says, “Just win, baby, just win.” Temple finishes the year against Akron (2-7), Kent State (5-5) and Ohio (6-3). Temple could end the year at 9-3 or 10-2.

23) Rutgers (6-2) Only two losses were to 8-0 Cincinnati and 7-1 Pittsburgh. Let’s see if they can beat 6-2 South Florida next.

24) Central Michigan (7-2) Suffered its second loss on-the-road at Boston College 31-10. Ends year with Toledo (4-5), Ball State (1-8) and Northern Illinois (6-3). Could easily end up at 9-3 and even 10-2.

25) Brigham Young (7-2) Shut out a weak Wyoming team 52-zip. Cougars end their year with New Mexico (0-9), Air Force (6-4) and Utah (8-1). BYU will end the year at least 8-4 if not 9-3.

Main boise state article:

Alabama, Texas, Cincinnati, Oregon and Georgia all won major conference championships recently and earned key spots in 4 of the 5 upcoming, coveted BCS bowl games. Here is how their victories have changed my Top 25 Poll rankings for college football’s 14th week.

1) Alabama (13-0) – Beat Florida, last year’s national champion, 32-13, to win the SEC Conference Championship and the right to play Texas in the National Championship Game. There is a reason why I have had Alabama ranked No. 1 for the last 7 consecutive weeks. Now you know why; the Crimson Tide players are better than the Gator players this year.

2) Texas (13-0) – Almost got upset by a tenacious Nebraska defense, but used 1 second left on the clock to kick a 46-yard field goal and win the Big 12 Championship, 13-12, and the right to play Alabama in the National Championship Game.

3) Cincinnati (12-0) – Came from 21 points down to outlast Pittsburgh 45-44 and win the Big East Championship, and will face Florida in the Sugar Bowl. I like Cincinnati’s high-powered, spread offense, and its unbeaten record, but not its defense. Then again, Florida’s outstanding defense gave up 32 points to Alabama.

4) Texas Christian (12-0) – Won the Mountain West Conference title, and will now face fellow unbeaten Boise State (13-0) in the BCS Fiesta Bowl. Marks the first ever BCS game with two mid-major teams.

5) Boise State (13-0) – Won the Western Athletic Conference title, and will now face unbeaten Texas Christian in the Fiesta Bowl.

6) Florida (12-1) – Lost SEC title game to Alabama 32-13, and lost the right to defend its national title. Will face unbeaten Cincinnati in the BCS Sugar Bowl. Florida fans, please shut up. There is a difference between wanting to win, playing to win, thinking you are going to win, and winning. Nuff said.

7) Oregon (10-2) – Won slugfest against Oregon State 37-33 to win the Pac-10 Conference title, and a trip to the BCS Rose Bowl to face Ohio State. Played much tougher competition than Atlantic Coast Conference and even Big Ten teams.

Ohio State (10-2) – Won the Big Ten title outright, and will face Oregon in the Rose Bowl. Played much tougher competition than Atlantic Coast Conference teams.

9) Georgia Tech (11-2) – Beat Clemson 39-34 to win the Atlantic Coast Conference title, and will play Iowa in the BCS Orange Bowl.

10) Iowa (10-2) – Runner-up in the Big Ten with Penn State, but beat the Nittany Lions head-on, and the Hawkeyes take their better defense to the Orange Bowl against Georgia Tech.

11) Penn State (10-2) – Runner-up in the Big Ten with Iowa. Will meet Louisiana State in the Capital One Bowl, the next most prestigious bowl game after the 5 BCS bowl games.

12) LSU (9-3) – Finished as runner-up to Alabama in the SEC West Division. Will face Penn State in the Capital One Bowl.

13) Pittsburgh (9-3) – Gave Cincinnati all it wanted and more before it lost to the Bearcats 45-44 in the Big East title game. Will face North Carolina (8-4) in the Meineke Car Care Bowl game. Pitt should have merited a better bowl game.

14) Nebraska (9-4) – Got little notice as the Cornhuskers struggled earlier in the year to find an offense that could win games. Darn near upset Texas for the Big 12 Conference title. Will meet Arizona (8-4) in the Holiday Bowl. This should be an excellent bowl game because these are two very worthy teams with much better than average defenses—Nebraska ranks 11th nationally in total defense, and Arizona 22nd among 120 major college teams.

15) Oregon State (8-4) – Gave Oregon all it could handle in the Pac-10 title game before losing, 37-33. The Beavers are one dirty, mean team headed to the Las Vegas Bowl to face Brigham Young (10-2). It tells you something when a 10-2 team faces an 8-4 team in a bowl game. The Cougars had better make sure they bring their helmets to this one, otherwise, the Beavers might knock them silly.

16) East Carolina (9-4) – Whipped Houston (10-3) for the mid-major Conference USA Championship, 38-32, and earned a trip to the Liberty Bowl to face Arkansas (7-5), the team absolutely nobody wanted to play in the SEC. Arkansas took Georgia to the max, beat Texas A&M, Auburn and South Carolina, and lost 3 away games to Florida, LSU and Mississippi, all by a single field goal. Yikes. This should be really interesting for East Carolina; there is no question it will be interesting for Arkansas.

17) Stanford (8-4) – Could be the second best 8-4 team in the country. Played the 19th toughest schedule in its climb back to national recognition. Will face Oklahoma (7-5) in the Sun Bowl. Oklahoma might be the best 7-5 team in the country.

18) Brigham Young (10-2) – Was runner-up to TCU in the Mountain West Conference. Will face Oregon State (8-4) in the Las Vegas Bowl.

19) A mystery team that no one knows about.

20) Utah (9-3) – Finished 3rd to TCU and BYU in the Mountain West Conference. Will face California (8-4) in the Poinsettia Bowl.

21) California (8-4) – Season’s best candidate for the yo-yo award—had wins against UCLA, Arizona State, Arizona and Stanford, and huge losses against Oregon, Southern California, Oregon State and Washington. Will face Utah in the Poinsettia Bowl; two teams that deserve each other.

22) Houston (10-3) – Lost to East Carolina (9-4) in the Conference USA championship game, 38-32, despite having the nation’s most explosive scoring offense. The fact that the Cougars are relegated to playing Air Force (7-5) in the Armed Forces Bowl shows you what the people who really count think about Houston.

23) Southern California (8-4) – The season’s most surprising fall from power, losing to Washington, Oregon, Stanford and Arizona. The Trojans had at least 11 wins and BCS bowl game appearances for 7 consecutive years—the most successful football program in the country during the streak that was broken this year. Will face Boston College (8-4) in the Emerald Bowl. If USC does not beat Boston College, its image will take another major hit.

24) Central Michigan (11-2) – Beat Ohio (9-4), 20-10, for the Mid American Conference Championship, and will face Troy ((9-3), the Sun Belt Conference Champion, in the GMAC Bowl.

25) No other teams impress me enough to even merit my 25th spot. Fill in your own favorite because it doesn’t make a nickel’s worth of difference to me.

This is not my last Top 25 Poll for this season. The next and final one will be posted after the National Championship Game between Alabama and Texas on Jan. 7. Until then, enjoy the 34 bowl games

Main boise state article:

There were 4 upsets of Top 25 teams this week but none of them mattered. What did matter were two favorites winning big with implications as Ohio State topped Michigan and Oregon outlasted Arizona. These events caused changes in my Top 25 Poll. Here is how I see it this week:

1) Alabama (11-0) – The Crimson Tide shut out 1-AA Chattanooga 45-0 to remain unbeaten and on target to face Florida for the SEC title, and a shot at the national championship in a game against Texas. Alabama ends its season this week with a trip to Auburn. I do not see Auburn winning this game.

2) Florida (11-0) – The Gators ripped apart Florida International 62-3 to remain unbeaten. Only visiting Florida State this week remains between the Gators and Alabama playing for a shot to be in the national championship game against Texas.

3) Texas (11-0) – The Longhorns whipped Kansas 51-20 to remain unbeaten and on course to play in the national championship game against either Alabama or the defending national champion Florida Gators. In beating Kansas, Colt McCoy extended his NCAA career record for victories by a quarterback to 43 in 4 years. Texas travels to Texas A&M for its final game of the season.

4) Texas Christian (10-0) – The Horned Frogs remained unbeaten by leveling Wyoming 45-10, and becoming the first TCU team with an 11-0 overall record since 1938. TCU hopes that Texas A&M upsets Texas this week so that the Horned Frogs can move into the national championship game against either Alabama or Florida. News flash to TCU—good luck and God speed. TCU ends its year hosting an absolutely pathetic, 1-10 New Mexico team.

5) Cincinnati (10-0) – Idle this week. Hosts a weak Illinois team this week, and then gets a final game showdown on-the-road at Pittsburgh (9-1). The Panthers are licking their chops.

6) Boise State (11-0) – The Broncos remained unbeaten by clubbing Utah State 52-21. Gets Nevada (8-3) at home this week, and the Broncos had better be ready. Nevada’s offense scored 6 touchdowns in the first half last week, and boasts the nation’s 4th best scoring offense (41ppg). Boise State has the nation’s best scoring offense (44 ppg).

7) Oregon (9-2) – The Ducks beat a really good 6-4 Arizona team 44-41 in the second overtime to set themselves up to earn a Pac-10 title and Rose Bowl berth against Ohio State (10-2) if they beat the visiting Oregon State Beavers (8-3) in a winner-take-all Civil War showdown next Saturday in Eugene. This is the most important game of the college football season until Alabama and Florida clash in the SEC showdown (both teams must win this week to set up the showdown). The up again-down again Oregon Ducks have only lost two away games—to 11-0 Boise State and 7-4 Stanford, and they have played the 3rd toughest schedule in the country among 245 Division I teams. Georgia Tech (12th toughest schedule), Pittsburgh (58th), Ohio State (54th), Penn State (79th) and Oklahoma State (67th) have all played easier schedules.

Oregon State (8-3) – Mugged Washington State 42-10. Beavers have only lost to Cincinnati (10-0), USC (7-3) and Arizona (6-4), and have played the 24th toughest schedule in the country.

9) Georgia Tech (10-1) – Idle this week. Hosts Georgia in its final game. Georgia will try to get nasty on them.

10) Pittsburgh (9-1) – Idle this week. Travels to West Virginia this week and then hosts unbeaten Cincinnati in its final game. The Panthers can hardly wait, but had better beat West Virginia to make it count for something.

11) Ohio State (10-2) – Buckeye defense put the hurt on Michigan 21-10 to win the Big Ten title outright in their final game. Next stop for Ohio State is the Rose Bowl against either Oregon or Oregon State.

From No. 12 on, this Poll is hard put to rank any team with a straight face. Having said that, here goes nothing:

12) Penn State (10-2) – Ended season by kicking the snot out of Michigan State 42-14 on the Spartans’ home turf. The stout (wink, wink) Michigan State defense let the Nittany Lions’ Daryll Clark pass for 310 yards and 4 touchdowns. With a name like Daryll they should have sacked the guy a dozen times. Coach Mark Dantonio needs to recruit some bigger, tougher, faster beef in the Midwest or MSU will be going backwards in a hurry. (Disclaimer: I am a Michigan State graduate who is not happy with the lack of progress in this year’s team. If the Spartans get much worse, they will be going backwards faster than the Michigan Wolverines. I am sick and tired of hearing about Michigan State’s great new recruits. My question is, where the hell are they? They sure are not on the field.

13) Oklahoma State (9-2) – Barely beat a poor Colorado team 31-28, but at least the Cowboys won, even if they were riding sidesaddle. That is more than Wisconsin, LSU, Rutgers and Stanford can say this week; they were all upset by supposedly lesser lights. Oklahoma State travels to Oklahoma to end its season this week.

14) Iowa (10-2) – Shut out Minnesota 12-0 with an outstanding defensive effort on-the-road. The Hawkeyes rank 11th nationally in scoring defense and 87th in scoring offense. Season is now over. Iowa is waiting in prayer and supplication for a BCS bowl bid, which they may not get.

15) Houston (9-2) – Beat Memphis 55-14. Have no real use for Houston; I guess that’s because I am kind of traditional in thinking that defense should be part of the game. The Cougars are the opposite of the Iowa Hawkeyes—they are all offense and no defense, and when I say no defense, I am not kidding. Houston ranks 3rd in the nation in scoring offense and 91st in scoring defense among 120 major college teams. Houston ends the season hosting a 2-9 Rice team that will lose, giving Houston its 10th win.

16) California (8-3) – Upset 18th-ranked Arizona 24-16 last week and upset 14th-ranked Stanford (7-4) on-the-road 34-28 this week. Bears won when they had to against a really tough team. California has played the 14th toughest schedule in the country. The Bears end their season December 5 at Washington.

17) Stanford (7-4) – Finally beating Southern Cal was too much for the Cardinal to handle as they lost to California 34-28 on their home turf. Stanford has played the 13th toughest schedule in the country. Stanford hosts Notre Dame to end its season this week.

18) LSU (8-3) – Was upset by Mississippi (8-3) on-the-road 25-23. The Ole Miss Rebels, after a slow start to the season, felt like they were stepping in high cotton. LSU has played the 22nd toughest schedule in the country. The Tigers end their season hosting Arkansas this week.

19) Clemson (8-3) – Beat Virginia 34-21. Travels to South Carolina (6-5) to end its season. The Tigers have played the 33rd toughest schedule.

20) Mississippi (8-3) – Upset LSU 25-23. Predicted to be a top team in the preseason polls, Ole Miss is finally coming of age. Mississippi travels to in-state rival Mississippi State to end its season this week. The Ole Miss Rebels have played the 55th toughest schedule this season.

21) Wisconsin (8-3) – Was upset by Northwestern (8-4) on-the-road 33-31. Only other losses were to Ohio State and Iowa. The Badgers have played the 62nd toughest schedule. Wisconsin ends its season December 5 at Hawaii.

22) Oklahoma State (9-2) – Slipped by Colorado 31-28. Simply not relevant this year with 11-0 Texas in the same Big 12 South Division. The Cowboys hit the road to end their season at Oklahoma (6-5) this week. They face one of the year’s biggest disappointments—the Sooners. Oklahoma State has played the 67th toughest schedule.

23) Navy (8-3) – Idle this week. Travels to Hawaii next. The Midshipmen have played the 72nd toughest schedule.

24) Brigham Young (9-2) – Beat Air Force 38-21 but must stand in line behind the first 23 picks because the Cougars have played the 80th toughest schedule. Has big season-ending showdown with in-state rival Uath (9-2) next. Somebody is going to be unhappy, the Cougars hope it will not be them since they are playing host to the Utes.

24) Utah (9-2) – Beat San Diego State 38-7 but must stand in line behind the first 24 picks because the Utes have played the 82nd toughest schedule. Travel to BYU (9-2) for end of year showdown.

“Hey Laddie, bring me a double shot of Jameson.”

Ed Bagley’s Top 25 Poll – Week 11 – All Unbeaten Teams Win Again

Main boise state article:

Stanford, North Carolina, Central Florida, California and Rutgers all recorded upset wins over ranked opponents in college football’s 11th week of play. These events caused changes in my Top 25 Poll. Here is how I see it this week:

1) Alabama (10-0) – The Crimson Tide followed up their signature victory over Louisiana State last week and continued to remain 1 of 6 unbeaten teams with a dominating 31-3 win at Mississippi State. The Tide hosts 163rd-ranked Chattanooga (6-4) this week. Chattanooga is a 1-AA team; if the Crimson Tide want to keep their national image intact, they had better kick Chattanooga back home as a big loser. A potential national championship team SHOULD NOT be playing a 1-AA team this late in the season, if at all.

2) Florida (10-0) – Acting very much like a national championship team, the Gators remained unbeaten by traveling to South Carolina and beating the Gamecocks, 24-14, completing their first perfect (8-0) SEC East title in 13 years. Florida hosts in-state rival Florida International this week, a 135th-ranked team with a 3-7 record. The Gators need a huge win to keep their mojo and rep in order.

3) Texas (10-0) – The Longhorns remained unbeaten by kicking around Baylor 47-14. Texas is like a snake—quietly, patiently slithering around, waiting to strike. Since Alabama and Florida are on course to clash in the SEC championship game, one will finish the season with at least one loss, and the other will likely face the Longhorns in the National Championship Game. Texas hosts Kansas next.

4) Texas Christian (10-0) – The Horned Frogs put to rest the myth that Utah (8-2) was the better team as they hosted and ran over the Utes, 55-28. You remember Utah, the Utes beat TCU 13-10 in their face-off last year, and were talking smack right up to the kickoff this year, complaining about being a 21-point underdog to TCU. Let’s see now, 28 and 21 equals 49, so it turned out that TCU should have been more than a 21-point favorite. Utah, it’s not your year, get over it. TCU travels to 104th-ranked Wyoming (5-5) next. Message to TCU: Do not screw up your perfect year by losing on the road to a nothing team.

5) Cincinnati (10-0) – Remained undefeated by beating West Virginia 24-21. The Bearcats are hardly looking awesome at the moment, but they have done something that only 5 other teams have done all season—win every bloody game. Cincinnati now hosts Illinois at home. Message to Cincinnati: Ditto the above.

6) Boise State (10-0) – In bounced the 7-win Idaho Vandals and out bounced the Vandals with their 4th loss, 63-25. The message: Idaho, not ready for prime time; Boise State, yes, our schedule has been lame, but if you want some, come get some. It is a good thing that Boise State has an easier schedule than other unbeaten teams; the Broncos have only 3 seniors among the 44 players on their two-deep roster. They travel to 107th-ranked Utah State (3-7) this week. Message to Boise State: Ditto the above.

7) Georgia Tech (10-1) – Stomped Duke 49-10 to clinch a spot in the ACC championship game. The Yellow Jackets do not play this week, and get a week of rest and strategy building before meeting in-state rival Georgia in their last game of the season two weeks from now. Message to Georgia Tech: Do not let Georgia mar your season.

Pittsburgh (9-1) – Hosted and beat Notre Dame (6-4), 27-22, after leading 20-3 at the start of the 4th quarter. The Panthers closed the game out and won, that is all that matters. Pittsburgh gets the week off before traveling to West Virginia a week from Friday (Nov. 27).

9) Ohio State (9-2) – Buckeyes showed up in prime time, beating Iowa 27-24 in overtime. No matter that neither Ohio State or Iowa chose to win the game in regulation time; the Buckeyes prevailed in their strategy and that is what winning teams do when it matters. Ohio State moves up in my poll because by winning, the Buckeyes earn at least a share of their 5th consecutive Big 10 title, get the Big Ten’s automatic BCS bid, and will go to the Rose Bowl for the first time in 13 years. Ohio State ends its season this week at Michigan.

10) Penn State (9-2) – My dislike for Penn State is well documented, and they beat Indiana 31-20 despite 4 first-half turnovers. I put them 10th because they are consistent in the sense that they lose to teams they could lose to—Iowa (9-2) and Ohio State (9-2)—rather than losing to a bunch of nobodies because they are not mentally prepared to do battle. Other teams may have 9 wins but they have lost to far weaker teams. Travels to Michigan State this week.

11) Wisconsin (8-2) – Took apart Michigan 45-24. Other teams may have as many wins as Wisconsin but they have lost to weaker teams. The Badgers travel to Northwestern this week. Message to Wisconsin: Northwestern (7-4) is better than its record indicates.

12) LSU (8-2) – Just beat in-state rival Louisiana Tech 24-16, a 3-7 team ranked 88th. Hardly impressive. That said, the Tigers’ only two losses have been to Florida and Alabama, not many teams can make that claim. Travels to Mississippi this week; should be an excellent chess game.

13) Stanford (7-3) – Has only 7 wins, but the Cardinal gets my vote for being the team to stop Southern Cal’s streaks of 7 straight BCS bowls, 7 straight 11-win seasons, 7 straight top-4 AP poll finishes, and a 7-year stranglehold on the Pac-10 Conference title. Stanford body slammed USC, 55-21, to finally end Southern Cal’s unchallenged dominance. Hosts California next.

14) Rutgers (7-2) – Shut out 23rd-ranked South Florida (6-3), 31-0. That was impressive. Rutgers only two losses were to Cincinnati (10-0) and Pittsburgh (9-1). Gets this week off, then travels to Syracuse.

15) Oklahoma State (8-2) – Beat Texas Tech 24-17. Only two losses were to Texas (10-0) and Houston (8-2). Cowboys host Colorado next.

16) Navy (8-3) – Picked up 8th win by beating 1-AA Delaware, 35-18. That’s not impressive at all, but the Midshipmen’s only losses have been to Pittsburgh (9-1), Ohio State (9-2) and Temple (8-2). When your losses come against teams with a combined 26-5 record, that’s not too shabby in my book. Navy gets shore leave this week and then travels to Hawaii.

17) Temple (8-2) – Speaking of Temple, why not rank them 17th? The Owls were caught sleeping in their first two outings against Villanova and Penn State, but then woke up and have won 8th straight. Temple’s 8th victory came over Akron, 56-17; that just might be a statement. Hosts Kent State next.

18) Central Michigan (8-2) – Beat Toledo 56-28. Two losses came against Arizona (6-3) and Boston College (7-3). Travels to Ball State next.

19) Iowa (9-2) – Lost to Ohio State 27-24. Needed to win badly following last week’s first loss of the season to Northwestern, 17-10. Getting less impressive as the season wears on; should be peaking and instead is dropping fast. Ends season hosting Minnesota this week.

20) Houston (8-2) – Lost to Central Florida 37-32; yes, that Central Florida, the one ranked 83rd with a 5-4 record going into the game. Houston has a great offense, well, not great enough to beat 83rd-ranked Central Florida, and no defense whatsoever. Houston has been vastly overrated all year, and I have said so over and over. Now you know why. Hosts Memphis next.

21) Brigham Young (8-2) – This 21st ranking is a gift following the Cougars ultra-lame 24-19 victory over a hapless, inept, winless 0-10 New Mexico team. Good grief, BYU should be in prayer and supplication after that effort. If they are caught sleeping on the field again, they should be forced to walk back to Provo. That had to be one of the sorriest performances all season by a ranked team. No wonder people rake on the Mountain West Conference; in many cases the criticism is so deserved.

22) Utah (8-2) – Took a major butt kicking by TCU 55-28, but at least the Utes were not playing New Mexico. Hosts San Diego State next.

23) California (7-3) – Upset 18th-ranked Arizona 24-16. I have been real hard on the Bears because they are so disappointing given their talent. Their only three losses were to Oregon, Oregon State and USC, three normally tough opponents. Bears travel to Stanford next. Let’s see how much gas is left in their tank.

24) Oregon (8-2) – Ripped Arizona State 44-21. The Ducks have only lost to Boise State, and then Stanford by 9 points, 51-42. Oregon travels to Arizona next; this could be a war.

25) Oregon State (7-3) – Beat Washington 48-21. Only losses are to Cincinnati (10-0), USC (7-3) and Arizona (6-3), teams with a combined 23-6 record.

Time out for some Jameson Irish whisky.

Ed Bagley’s Top 25 Poll – Week 13 – 6 Upsets Scramble the Rankings

Main boise state article:

Six AP Top 25 teams can testify how dangerous road games are—all were upset during college football’s 13th week of play, and 2 of the 6 will be facing off in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game this week. The away losers included Georgia Tech, Clemson, Pittsburgh, Oklahoma State, Mississippi and North Carolina. These events caused changes in my Top 25 Poll. Here is how I see it this week:

1) Alabama (12-0) – Give the Crimson Tide credit. They went 8-0 to win the SEC West Division, and went 12-0 on the season after beating in-state rival Auburn on the road, 26-21. Alabama will now face SEC East Division winner Florida for the SEC title, and a shot at the national championship in a game probably against Texas. The Crimson Tide must now get done what they could not get done last year, beat Florida. Their unbeaten string last year was snapped by Florida, and the Tide never recovered mentally or emotionally, losing to Utah 31-17 in the Sugar Bowl.

2) Florida (12-0) – Give the Gators credit. They went 8-0 to win the SEC East Division and went 12-0 on the season after sending in-state rival Florida State back home with a 37-10 loss. Florida will now face SEC West Division winner Alabama for the SEC title, and another shot at the national championship in a game probably against Texas. The Florida Gators are the defending national champions, having defeated Oklahoma 24-14 for the title last year.

3) Texas (12-0) – Give the Longhorns credit. They went 8-0 to win the Big 12 South Division and went 12-0 on the season by outlasting in-state rival Texas A&M, 49-39. Just win baby, just win, and Longhorns did. Texas will now face Big 12 North Division winner Nebraska (6-2 in conference and 9-3 overall) for the Big 12 title, and a shot at the national championship game against either Alabama or Florida. No one expects Nebraska to upset Texas, and if the Cornhuskers do, TCU would likely replace Texas in the national championship game.

4) Texas Christian (12-0) – Give the Horned Frogs credit. They went 8-0 to win the Mountain West Conference title, and 12-0 on the season by opening a can of whup-um on New Mexico, 51-10, to wrap up TCU’s first undefeated regular season in 71 years. The Horned Frogs are now hoping that Nebraska does the impossible so their stock will rise. They will play in a BCS game, if not for all the marbles.

5) Cincinnati (11-0) – Still unbeaten after beating up Illinois 49-36 in a poor showing, and still must face a pretty good Pittsburgh team this week. The Panthers (9-2) catch Cincinnati at home and cannot wait to hand the Bearcats their first loss of the year. Cincinnati Coach Brian Kelly led the Bearcats to 10 wins in his first year, and 11 wins last year. He already has 11 more wins this year. Let’s see, how does that counting go: 10, 11 and then 12. Be ready, Panthers, Bearcats are pretty scrappy too.

6) Boise State (12-0) – Still unbeaten after outscoring Nevada 44-33 in a poor showing, and now gets a cupcake pass against New Mexico State at home this week. Yikes, it is not a good week to be a 3-9 New Mexico State team. The Aggies have no, repeat no, chance to beat Boise State on their turf.

Note: There may never be another time in the next 50 years when 6 major college teams are still unbeaten at this point in the season.

7) Oregon (9-2) – Idle this week. The Ducks set themselves up to earn a Pac-10 title and Rose Bowl berth against Ohio State (10-2) if they beat the visiting Oregon State Beavers (8-3) in a winner-take-all Civil War showdown in Eugene. The up again-down again Oregon Ducks have only lost two away games—to 11-0 Boise State and 7-4 Stanford, and they have played the 5th toughest schedule in the country among 245 Division I teams.

Oregon State (8-3) – Idle this week. The Beavers have only lost to Cincinnati (10-0), USC (7-3) and Arizona (6-4), and have played the 28th toughest schedule in the country. The Oregon Ducks view the Oregon State Beavers as road kill. The Beavers, one of the dirtiest playing teams in college football, are hardly impressed; they plan to legally hurt a lot of Ducks while hunting for a Pac-10 title share and trip to the Rose Bowl to face Ohio State. Despite the Beavers’ dirty, the advantage is to the Ducks.

9) Ohio State (10-2) – Won the Big Ten title outright. Next stop for the Buckeyes is the Rose Bowl against either Oregon or Oregon State.

10) Pittsburgh (9-2) – Managed to lose on-the-road to an 8-3 West Virginia team, 19-16, on a Mountaineer field goal as time ran out. Give West Virginia’s defense some credit, they kept the Panthers out of the end zone on 5 Pittsburgh drives inside the Mountaineers’ 30-yard line.

11) Penn State (10-2) – Idle this week. Just waiting to see if they get a bid to a BCS game. It is not a lock that the Nittany Lions will as they have played the second weakest schedule (85th) among Jeff Sagarin’s top 35 teams. Only Boise State from the so-weak-my-grandmother-wails Western Athletic Conference (WAC) has played a weaker schedule (91st). This is why Cincinnati, if the Bearcats beat Pittsburgh, should get a BCS shot in front of unbeaten Boise State. Penn State’s only two losses were to Ohio State and Iowa.

12) Iowa (10-2) – Idle this week. The Hawkeyes are waiting in prayer and supplication for a BCS bowl bid, which they may not get. Iowa’s only two losses were to Ohio State and Northwestern; Iowa beat Penn State.

13) Brigham Young (10-2) – Beat a 9-3 Utah team 26-23 in overtime, became the runner-up to TCU in the Mountain West Conference race.

14) Houston (10-2) – Stomped a mud hole in in-state rival Rice, 73-14, to tie Southern Methodist (SMU) for the Conference USA West Division title at 6-2, and notch the Cougars’ 10th win for the season. Since Houston beat SMU 38-15, they should face off against East Carolina (7-1 in conference and 8-4 overall) for the Conference USA championship. Houston has the nation’s best scoring offense (45 ppg) and the 83rd best scoring defense among 120 major college teams.

15) LSU (9-3) – Beat Arkansas 33-30 in overtime. Waiting for a bowl bid. Finishes as runner-up to Alabama in the SEC West Division.

16) California (8-3) – Idle this week. Travels to Washington this week. The Bears, who have only lost to Oregon, Oregon State and Southern Cal, have played the 19th toughest schedule this year.

17) Georgia Tech (10-2) – Lost on-the-road to Georgia 30-24. Won the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Coastal Division with a 7-1 mark, and will face Clemson, the ACC’s Atlantic Division winner, for the ACC title. Played 17th toughest schedule.

18) Clemson (8-4) – Lost on-the-road to South Carolina 34-17 to end the year. Won the AAC’s Atlantic Division with a 6-2 mark and will face Georgia Tech for the ACC title. Lost to Georgia Tech 30-27 in an away game during the regular season. The Tigers have played the 29th toughest schedule.

19) Utah (9-3) – Lost to Brigham Young (10-2), 26-23, in overtime. Finishes 3rd to TCU and BYU in the Mountain West Conference.

20) Virginia Tech (9-3) – Slammed in-state rival Virginia 42-13. Finishes as runner-up to Georgia Tech in the ACC’s Coastal Division.

21) Miami Florida (9-3) – Pounded in-state rival Florida State and Bobby Bowden, 37-10.

22) Stanford (8-4) – Nipped Notre Dame 45-38. Could be the best 8-4 team in the country. Played the 16th toughest schedule in its climb back to national recognition. Recorded signature wins over Oregon (51-42) and Southern California (55-21).

23) Southern California (8-3) – Beat in-state rival UCLA 28-7. Ends season by hosting Arizona. Only losses were to Oregon, Stanford and Washington.

24) Central Michigan (10-2) – Turned back Northern Illinois, 45-31, to win the Mid American Conference West Division with an 8-0 mark and finish the season at 10-2. The Chippewas made some noise this year, and will face Ohio, the Mid American’s East Division champion (7-1 in conference and 9-3 overall), for the Mid American Conference championship. Central Michigan played a far easier schedule than other teams in this Top 25 Poll, but did win 10 games.

25) Fill in your own favorite team. Doing my own Top 25 this season has been fun, but it has also been a lot of work. After pretty much staying out of trouble thus far, I noticed that last week I ranked Oklahoma State both 13th and 22nd. Mistakes can happen. In my defense, Oklahoma State promptly went out and was upset by in-state rival Oklahoma, 27-0. Clearly, my 22nd ranking for Oklahoma State was the more correct one.
