1. Southern Cal - Idle
2. Texas - Beat OSU. This is a good football team and baring Mack Brown screwing it up, should run the table.
3. Iowa - Drew Tate was injured for most of the game as they lost to ISU. ISU was thought to stink this year.
4. Michigan - Michigan needs coaching help across the board. Too much talent to make so few plays.
5. Tennessee - IDLE. The game with Florida will tell us a lot. I'm predicting a UF win.
6. Georgia - A game like that isn't atypical for UGA vs. SC. David Greene had a variety of games like that vs. the Cocks.
7. Louisiana State - Urban Meyer had to be licking his chops over the prospect of facing that secondary. What the hell is Les Miles doing with that defensive talent to allow such a bloodletting through the air?
8. Louisville - IDLE
9. Ohio State - Not really sure what to do with these guys after they lost to the Longhorns.

11. Purdue - The next 4 weeks will define the entire Purdue season. A road game against Arizona, then a road game with Minnesota, then Notre Dame and Iowa at home.
12. Florida - This week's battle with Tennessee is everything.

[Photo: After giving up 50+ second half points The Citadel players will probably surpress their memories of this game much like the kid from the Prince of Tides.]
14. Miami - IDLE
15. Oklahoma - Did I hear this properly. They didn't complete a pass in the 2nd half?
16. Virginia - IDLE
17. Texas Tech - I was driving home late last night and ESPN radio made it sound like the guy passed for 4 TDs and ran for 5 more. If that had been true, there would have been an article devoted entirely to that.
18. Boston College - I know that FSU has zero offense. I really do.
19. Oregon - The Ducks beat a team of lumberjacks from Montana senseless. Watch for them to slip up vs. Fresno State in the classic "look past this one" game pre-their home game with USC.
20. Arizona State - Their special teams coach should resign and save everyone the paperwork of having to fire him after they pissed away this game to LSU.
21. Georgia Tech - The Jackets continue to improve. It would be so typical of a Gailey coached team to lose to UConn this week in another "look past the chumps" game. VT vs. GT is in 2 weeks.
22. Auburn - Did as expected vs an outmatched Miss State squad.
23. Notre Dame - I have a ranking better than Top 10 for these guys in mind.

25. Clemson - Because someone has to be 25th.
Other thoughts around College Football:
TCU - See, I told you it was too soon to rank them.
Nebraska - Scored 10 points on offense vs. Wake Forest. The other 3 TDs were on defense. What's the odds on Callahan making it through Year 3?
- Bama - Right now, I think Bama would take OU. Thus, OU won't be ranked on my Week 3 Ballot. But Bama will.
