September 14, 2009 HEEL FEVER TOP 25 rankings

My latest edition. Once again, there will be several differences with the major polls. I like mine better. Last week's rankings are included.

  1. Florida (1). Another game, another blowout.
  2. Southern Cal (2). Good quality victory over the Bucs.
  3. Alabama (3). ROLL TIDE!
  4. Texas (5). A victory over the Wyoming Cowboys had some irky moments, but Texas has the talent to win the Big 12.
  5. Penn State (6). Joe Pa is ready for another championship. This may be his year.
  6. Mississippi (7). Tough team...I'm wondering how they will play in the SEC.
  7. California (8). Great team, the pride of the PAC-10.
  8. LSU (10). Any question that the SEC is the best conference? Or is it the Big 12?
  9. Oklahoma (11). Don't dismiss Oklahoma because of the BYU loss.
  10. Boise State (12). A darn good team.
  11. TCU (13). Another darn good team.
  12. BYU (2). I'm now am a believer of this team. Watch out!
  13. Ohio State (9). So close, but so far away. Penn State should watch out.
  14. Virginia Tech (17). Hokies are a team that we shouldn't take too lightly. Impressive victory over Marshall.
  15. Georgia Tech (15). Almost a come from ahead loss for the Yellow Jackets. They have questions on both sides of the ball.
  16. Oklahoma State (4). The D didn't show up against Houston...what's the deal? Makes me wonder if Georgia is that good of a team.
  17. Nebraska (19). The Cornhuskers biggest problem is that they play in the same conference as Texas, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State.
  18. Utah (21). Another week, another victory. The Utes are a solid team.
  19. Cincinnati (23). Tough Big East team. They might be in another major bowl game.
  20. UNC (17). Look sloppy against the Huskies. Who knows how we will do against the Pirates.
  21. Georgia (19). Not too impressed with the Bulldogs. Too early to tell how they will be in 2009.
  22. Texas Tech (23). The Red Raiders are what I call a sleeper team.
  23. Oregon (24). Turn the page. Still a solid team.
  24. Kansas (25). Tough game against the Blue Devils next week. Tough for a quarter, at least.
  25. Miami (NR). The Hurricanes are for real. At least against FSU 2 weeks ago.

Honorable mentions include Michigan, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Oregon State, Houston, and Iowa.

    USC - too high
    Cal - too low
    LSU - too high
    Boise, TCU, BYU - all too low. Don't be surprised if one of these gets into the BCS champ game. It won't happen, but this is the year for it to happen if it is going to.

    This is the year of the non-BCS schools. As the SEC/Big 12 knock eachother off, the ACC, Big East, and Big 10 continue their decline, you will see BYU/Utah and Boise go undefeated with some quality wins on their record.

    I think it's great for the game...it shows that you don;t have to be a bunch of 750 SAT scorers with a 2.1 gpa in basket-weaving and a recent stay at a state prison to be a good football team.

    Go Mormons!
