Week 2
1. Southern Cal (1) - obviously
2. Texas (2) - Thank heavens for DVR!
3. Iowa (3) - Domination of Fictional State U is rarely impressive. Unless, you dominate a ranked Fictional State U.
4. Michigan (4) - unimpressive this week, but so were others.
5. Tennessee (9) - For now, I still think they are hair better than UGA.
6. Georgia (10) - anyone that still has Boise ranked at all should have UGA as a Top 3 team.
7. Louisiana State (8) - idle. This just in. The LSU vs. ASU game will be held in Tempe.
8. Louisville (6) - I'm pretty familiar with Kentucky. And to get bogged down with only 3 points vs the Cats in the 2nd Half is not a performance that says onward and upward in the polls.
9. Ohio State (12) - Bring on the Horns.
10. Virginia Tech (11) - This team will win the ACC unless FSU and Miami improve *dramatically* over what we saw tonight.
11. Purdue (14) - idle.
12. Florida (16) - they looked better than many other teams in the middle of last week's poll.

14. Miami (5) - The word "special" in Special Teams is supossed to mean "exceptional" or "Unique". It does not normally refer to slow children who ride short buses.
15. Oklahoma (7) - This is a pick that I'm uncomfortable with.
16. Virginia (18) - They struggled to put a way a WMU team that went 1-10 last year.
17. Texas Tech (23) - I'll believe Leach beats Texas and Oklahoma when I see it. But this is a team that can make the Cotton Bowl.
18. Boston College (20) - If they beat FSU, I'll be amazed. I'm very uncomfortable with this pick.
19. Oregon (21) - Yes. They struggled with Houston in the first half, but they pulled away later.
20. Arizona State (22) - The game will be held at Tempe. Not Baton Rouge.
21. Georgia Tech (Unranked) - These guys MUST work on their defensive secondary. That said, they picked a great year to have bad DBs given how few exceptional QBs are on their schedule from the ACC.
22. Auburn (13) - What a waste.
23. Notre Dame (unranked) - I feel obligated to rank these guys because they beat a team that i had ranked last week. Although, I very much regret ranking Pitt in the first place. Go Blue.
24. Colorado (25) - On Sept. 24th, this team plays the Canes in Miami. We'll know what they have then.
25. Clemson (unranked) - The Tigers play Maryland at College Park and Miami at home the next two weeks. If this team lucky that Coach Fran can't count? Or are they good? We'll know soon.
Falling out of the poll: Boise *17), TAMU (19) and Pitt (24).
Almost making the poll: Cal, Minnesota and TCU
Yes, it's a contridiction to have OU still ranked and TCU unranked. But I saw enough half assed mid-major ball this weekend to be in no mood to rush to annoint any of those programs as the next "BCS Buster". If OU implodes further, I'll drop the hammer on them. If TCU keeps winning, I'll rank them.
