SB Nation BlogPoll College Football Top 25 Rankings "
#1 Boise St. - We could have put Oregon or Oklahoma here but we thought what the heck. On a serious note though, the Beavers loos to UW hurts Boise. They won't stay at #1 as the schedule game will clip them.
#2 Oregon - Like I said you can flip flop any of the three. I do not expect for the Ducks to look past the baby blues to keep an eye on 'SC the following week. First time being voted #1 in the AP poll will not be taken lightly by the ducks.
#3 Oklahoma - Their signature win is against FSU but they have a ton experience issues on defense.
#4 TCU - They just keep rolling along along underneath the radar.
#5 Auburn – In case you were wondering whether Auburn’s offense was as good as advertised; try this, the Tigers scored 65 points on a top-25 Arkansas team, and its Tim Tebow-esque dual threat quarterback Cam Newton accounted for 4 touchdowns. Nick Saban and company may have a legitimate challenger for state supremacy after all. But they have to win the Iron Bowl to shake the also-ran tag.
#6 Alabama - Ho Hum...they are still lurking out there.
#7 Michigan State – Sparty may have struggled in a narrow 26-6 win over a .500 team in Illinois, but Wisconsin’ home win over then-No. 1 Ohio State makes Michigan State’s victory over the Badgers last week look all the more impressive. Don't get too comfortable with Sparty yet...
# 8 LSU - The Showdown is coming...what will Loud Mouth Les pull out of his hat?
#9 Utah – Granted, Boise State and TCU may be getting most of the love, as the two remaining undefeated non-BCS teams, but the Utes are quietly putting together an impressive 2010 campaign of their own, with yet another high-scoring output (30 points against conference rival Wyoming).
# 10 Ohio State - Pryor once again shows he is not quite ready for prime time.

Perfectly reasonable choices all around.
The only thing I’d change would be your comment about Utah, since it seems to imply that Utah isn’t still undefeated.
Los Angeles is like Manchester. There is a red team that wins championships and a blue team that doesn't.
My 5 cents cuz I don't have change for a nickel
1) Bama just lost, why are they ahead of Mich St, LSU, and Utah
2) Love the Utes. They have a huge game end of season against TCU. If they win big, then the deserve to jump Boise and TCU. Big IF.
3) I like to use a basic rule that a team that just beat another team should be ranked higher if they have the same # of losses. So, Wisc should be ahead of Ohio St and Zona should be ahead of Iowa. There is no better comparison than head to head, so why try?
4) Mizzu looks good!
5) I hate Miami. They just lost to a big rival. We just demolished a big rival. Why not rank USC over Miami? Or, at least Kansas St. Really don’t think USC would beat Kansas St?
Good job, Para!
You can't put sanctions on the fkn endzone! Bowls are for salad!
Why aren't the bRUINS in the top five with being the present bank bowl winner they should be a head of everyone.
I love national championships it makes me feel superior to others, my whole place has USC stuff everywhere, it's painted red and gold, my car is the same colors my asscrack is bruin blue.

Great poll, Para!
It’s not that I’m a SEC-hater, but 3 teams in the top-10 just doesn’t seem right to me. I saw a few LSU games. That game against the Vols-. . . . .that was just pure dumb luck. They aren’t all that. I’d like to see Stanford put into the top-10. That’s a good team and we played ’em straight up.
I’m not convinced on tOSU- they played a soft schedule so far and well. . . . . watch though- they might just make into the Rose Bowl with the way college football always seems to pan out towards the end of any given year. Auburn and ‘Bama have good teams- Auburn prolly has a better D at this point of the season. We’ll see how both those teams look after the Iron Bowl this year.
I’ve been writing this all year in CC’s blog poll: UTAH! UTAH! UTAH UTES!!!!!!!!!

Chris Dufresne of LAT has us as his #25. . . . .
. . . . WOW! Now, that’s love!

OK
Now the rest of the NCAA has caught up and we’re looking at 7 games played for most. I think our 2 losses don’t look as bad as say, the Texas losses(3). We belong in the top 25
