Chip’s Top 25

Another crazy week in college football means even more changes in the weekly poll. Last week’s ranking in parenthesis.

1-Texas (6)-You beat the No. 1 team in the nation by ten points on a neutral site, and you deserve to be the No. 1 team in the nation. Colt McCoy is now the Heisman frontrunner.

2-Penn State (5)-Looks like JoePa might have the last laugh. Nittany Lions have destroyed everything in its past.

3-Alabama (2)-After everything that happened on Saturday, the Tide’s wins over Clemson and Georgia don’t seem as big as they did last week.

4-OKlahoma (1)-Can’t dog the Sooners too much for a tough loss to a good Texas team.

5-Florida (11)-Watch out SEC. The Gators look like they’re back.

6-USC (7)-Slowly getting itself right back into the national title picture.

7-Ohio State (8)-Probably can’t get back to the title game, but can ruin Penn State’s chances. Better watch out for Michigan State this week.

8-Oklahoma State (14)-Forget about Mike Gundy. Zac Robinson is a “MAN!”

9-BYU (9)-Cougar defense has given up 17 points in last four games.

10-Missouri (3)-For once, Chase Daniel looked human.

11-Georgia (10)-Seems like ages ago when the Bulldogs were the preseason No. 1 team.

12-LSU (4)-What happened to that vaunted Tiger defense?

13-Texas Tech (12)-Went to overtime with a bad Nebraska team.

14-Utah (15)-Utes keep rolling along.

15-Michigan State (18)-Spartans smacked Northwestern back down to earth; Buckeyes next on the slate.

16-Virginia Tech (16)-Hokies would be in national title discussion if not for that slip-up at East Carolina.

17-Kansas (17)-Must face an angry Oklahoma team on the road this weekend.

18-Boise State (18)-BCS-busting Broncos at it again.

19-TCU (20)-Won a grinder at Colorado State.

20-North Carolina (24)-My pick to win the ACC.

21-Minnesota-(NR)-Gophers’ coach Tim Brewster is putting himself in the mix for some Coach of the Year love.

22-Cincinnati (NR)-UC coach Brian Kelly is winning with a fourth-string true freshman quarterback and also on the Coach of the Year radar.

23-Vanderbilt (13)-Commodores lack of offense caught up with them at Mississippi State

24-Wake Forest (NR)-Put a fork in Clemson on Thursday.

25-South Carolina-(NR)-Kentucky, this could have been you.

DROPPED OUT-Illinois, California, Georgia Tech, Kentucky.

NEXT BEST FIVE

26-Ball State-Another good bet to go unbeaten.

27-California-Bears’ resume rather unimpressive other than a season-opening win over Michigan State.

28-Georgia Tech-Almost lost to Gardner-Webb. Ask the Kentucky basketball team what that can do to you.

29-Boston College-Huge game with Virginia Tech this week.

30-Florida State-’Noles still a factor in wide-open ACC.
