Week 1 College Football Rankings Top 50

September 9, 2009

nflweek1So the first week of college football has already seen its plethora of upsets.   I am so excited for this college football season because Sam Bradford is already out of the Heisman watch and it looks like after Week 1 we already have it down to two candidates.  Tim Tebow and Colt Mccoy are both front runners for the Heisman Trophy this year with Tim Tebow leading slightly.  Jahvid Best is a somewhat close 3rd with Max Hall of BYU getting a huge boost after dismantling the Oklahoma Sooner defense.  Dez Bryant made the cover of the next Sports Illustrated but has not see much boost in the Heisman Watch.  Oklahoma State put a beat down on Georgia this past weekend which was personally my favorite game even though Oklahoma did lose to BYU.  With week 2 having some more important games I am excited to see what the rankings will be after this weekend.

Preseason College Football Rankings

August 10, 2009

usatoday

Thank you god!  College Football season is just around the corner now.  I was seriously going crazy having to watch Baseball 24/7 in order to fill my sports time in my life.  I am pretty much through with baseball because of all the steroids issues.  I feel like the time I found out that wrestling wasnt real.  Thank you oh football gods for making this time go faster than I thought though, because I am so ready for this season to start.  There are so many awesome teams out there to choose from.  Personally I am hoping for a Longhorn national championship again (but I am not holding my breathe).  The only thing I truly care about is that they do not hype the SEC up more than they are worth this season.  The Big 12 is where its at and the ACC, SEC, Big Ten and PAC-10 are pretty weak this season.  I will also be interested in finding out where Utah, Boise State, and TCU will be ending up as well as how June Jones does at SMU.  Anyways, I know what you guys are looking for so here it is.  This past week USA Today did their annual preseason rankings for this next season.

  1. Florida
  2. Texas
  3. Oklahoma
  4. USC
  5. Alabama
  6. Ohio State
  7. Virginia Tech
  8. Penn State
  9. LSU
  10. Mississippi
  11. Oklahoma State
  12. California
  13. Georgia
  14. Oregon
  15. Georgia Tech
  16. Boise State
  17. TCU
  18. Utah
  19. Florida State
  20. North Carolina
  21. Iowa
  22. Nebraska
  23. Notre Dame
  24. Brigham Young
  25. Oregon State
  26. Kansas
  27. Michigan State
  28. Texas Tech
  29. Cincinnati
  30. Pittsburgh
  31. West Virginia
  32. Rutgers
  33. Miami (FL)
  34. Missouri
  35. Illinois
  36. Clemson
  37. South Carolina
  38. UCLA
  39. Auburn
  40. South Florida
  41. Nevada
  42. Kentucky
  43. North Carolina State
  44. Wisconsin
  45. Arkansas
  46. Northwestern
  47. Southern Miss
  48. Wake Forest
  49. Arizona
  50. Boston College
  51. Central Michigan
  52. East Carolina
  53. Colorado
  54. Maryland
  55. Navy
  56. Tennessee
  57. Troy
  58. Minnesota
  59. Michigan
  60. Houston

I personally cannot believe how Notre Dame was ranked so high.  The Big 12 has 8 teams ranked in the top 60 which theorectically means that the Big 12 could have 8 + teams in college bowl games by the end of the season.  I can only hope that they take care of business before the conference games start.  Anyways, this is exciting for me because I just watched an NFL game on TV for the first time this season.  The Hall of Fame Game was on and it has made my life a lot better and hope it will yours too!

Its BCS Time…BCS Top 25

October 20, 2008

Over the past few years there has been a lot of concern for the rankings of college football to be determined by a computer system.  Personally I am all for it and all for exploiting the computer world, but I too, have had problems in the past with its decisions.  The two incidences that I am referring to are the 2003 season when USC was ranked #1 in both polls but when the final BCS Standings came out, they were ranked 3rd and out of the championship.  Personally since then I have felt that USC has gotten a lot of votes when they should not have.  After they won their bowl game they were forced to share the #1 status with LSU which created a lot of controversy.  In 2006 Boise State was denied a spot in the championship game after going undefeated the entire season and ended up having to play in the Fiesta Bowl and beat Oklahoma in overtime 43-42 (my favorite bowl game of the year).  To me, I dont think you should even be given a chance in the case of Boise State unless they are willing to play heavy hitting teams throughout the season.  There is no chance they make it in this year because of the schedules the Big 12, SEC, and Big 10.  Even though the BCS has had its controversial subjects, its still better than the alternative which would be biased votes from across the country like the AP Poll which this season I have had a lot of problems with.  I am just glad that Texas is at the top where they should be at this point.  A lot of Alabama fans are pissed they are not #1 and all I have to say about that is look at what has happened the past couple of seasons with the #1 spot.  They seem to lose all the time so I wouldn’t worry too much about it because you guys don’t have much of a schedule left. Anyways, without further blabbing, here is the first BCS Standings of the 2008 season:

1. Texas 7-0
2. Alabama 7-0
3. Penn State 8-0
4. Oklahoma 6-1
5. USC 5-1
6. Oklahoma State 7-0
7. Georgia 6-1
8. Texas Tech 7-0
9. Ohio State 7-1
10. Florida 5-1
11. Utah 8-0
12. Boise State 6-0
13. LSU 5-1
14. TCU 7-1
15. Missouri 5-2
16. South Florida 6-1
17. Pitt 5-1
18. Georgia Tech 6-1
19. Tulsa 7-0
20. Ball State 7-0
21. BYU 6-1
22. Northwestern 6-1
23. Kansas 5-2
24. Minnesota 6-1
25. Florida State 5-1

Texas is #1 by 13 votes

October 13, 2008

A huge shake up in the polls today.  Just one week before the BCS polls come out, the AP poll is going nuts.  I couldnt believe the way it ended up with Texas being number 1 in the end.  I couldnt believe they leapfrogged Alabama like that, but I guess it makes sense.   Texas did just beat the Number 1 team, while Alabama didnt play anyone.  If the Alabama fans have anything to look at, its that they dont have the schedule Texas does in the future, and hey, Alabama and Texas both became Bowl eligible this past weekend.

1. Texas (39) 6-0 1,599
2.  Alabama (26) 6-0 1,582
3.  Penn State 7-0 1,492
4.  Oklahoma 5-1 1,306
5.  Florida 5-1 1,284
6.  USC 4-1 1,247
7.  Texas Tech 6-0 1,210
8.  Oklahoma State 6-0 1,184
9.  Brigham Young 6-0 1,131
10.  Georgia 5-1 1,081
11.  Missouri 5-1 984
12.  Ohio State 6-1 908
13.  LSU 4-1 893
14.  Utah 7-0 834
15.  Boise State 5-0 714
16.  Kansas 5-1 620
17.  Virginia Tech 5-1 540
18.  North Carolina 5-1 416
19.  South Florida 5-1 397
20.  Michigan State 6-1 371
21.  Wake Forest 4-1 330
22.  Vanderbilt 5-1 258
23.  Pittsburgh 4-1 182
24.  Ball State 7-0 166
25.  California 4-1 115

All I have to say is…Watch out for Penn State.

SideLine Blog’s Top 25 Week 5

I feel as if the AP Poll doesnt know what its doing.  Do you ever feel like that?  Like how Georgia was #1 in the beginning of the season and how they fell to #3 in the first week after beating someone.  Anyways, I think that I can do a better job of predicting the outcome of the season instead of creating all this drama and upsets.  I think thats why they do it.  Anyways for the 5th week of the College Football season, here is my top 5:

  1. Oklahoma
  2. Missouri
  3. Alabama
  4. LSU
