WELL, WELL, WELL...THE "SUPPOSED" POWER HOUSES OF FOOTBALL PAGEANTRY HAVE FALLEN.
WHAT AN AWESOME GAME IT WAS TO WATCH THIS THURSDAY EVENING AS WE SAW THE MIGHTY OREGON ST. BEAVERS DEFEAT THE USC TROJANS PRETTY HANDIDLY. IT STARTED A POWER-RANKING CATACLYSM IN THE NCAA POLLS AS WE SAW THE POWER TEAMS SUCCUMB TO THE "LITTLE GUYS". MORE SUPER POWER FOOTBALL ENTITIES TO FOLLOW USC'S LOSING BINGE WERE THE # 3 GEORGIA BULLDOGS WHO LOST TO THE # 8 ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE. # 4 FLORIDA GATORS (TIM TEBOW STILL PLAYED A GOOD GAME), LOST TO UNRANKED OLE MISS.
the #9 WISCONSIN BADGERS LOST TO THE UNRANKED MICHIGAN WOLVERINES. YES, TO MICHAEL PHELPS ALMA MATER. WISCONSIN, I FELT, SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN RANKED HIGHER THAN OUR RED RAIDERS. STUPID, BADGERS.
THE #5 LSU TIGERS WON UGLY & BY A SMIDGE (10 PTS) VS UNRANKED MISSISSIPPI ST; IT MAY COST THEM A NEGATIVE MOVE IN THE POLLS.
#6 MISSOURI AND #10 TEXAS TECH WERE IDLE, BOTH SPORT A 4-0 RECORD.
OTHERS WHO WERE RANKED IN THE AP POLL OR THE COACHES POLL BUT NOT IN THE TOP 10 WERE NOT NOTED BY MOI. CLICK ON http://espn.go.com/ TO VIEW MORE DATA.
MY PREDICTIONS FOR WEEK # 5 RANKINGS ON SUNDAY EARLY EVENING ARE:
USC, FLORIDA AND WISCONSIN WILL DROP OUT OF THE TOP 10. USC MAY STAY IN THE TOP 15, NOT SURE ABOUT FLORIDA, BUT WISCONSIN WILL BARELY HANG IN THE TOP 20. THEY DON'T DESERVE TO STAY, BUT THEY MIGHT IN THE AP POLL, WHICH I DESPISE IN FAVOR OF THE USA TODAY POLL WHICH HAS CONTINUOUSLY RANKED TECH HIGHER THAN THE AP POLL. ANYWAY, THIS IS HOW THE NEW TOP 10 WILL FARE IN MY OPINION ON SUNDAY.
1) OU SOONERS...YUK, BUT THEY EARNED IT. (good for the big 12 - maybe).
2) MIZZOU TIGERS...ANOTHER BIG 12 TEAM (REMEMBER THEIR BOOGER PULLING, BOOGER EATING QB, CHASE DANIELS, WHO SEEMS TO BE HIGH ON SPORT'S PUNDITS HEISMAN RANKINGS...MAYBE OUR TECH QB, HARRELL, SHOULD REVERT TO PICKING HIS NOSE TO GET THAT KIND OF NATIONAL ATTENTION---NOT!).
3) ALAMABA CRIMSON TIDE...NICK SABAN HAS DONE A PHENOM JOB AND ALL TIDE FANS ARE TALKING OF THE SECOND COMING OF A BEAR BRYANT-TYPE FOOTBALL ERA. (Have u seen those bear bryant hats they're donning?)
4) LSU TIGERS...THEY MAY GET THIRD OR EVEN SECOND, BUT I SEE THEM AT #4
5) TEXAS...YES, THOSE STUPID "TEA SIPPERS"...BTW: COLT HAS MORE RUSHING YARDS ON THE TEAM. HE'S GONNA GET HURT SOON. ANOTHER VINCE YOUNG IN THE MANNER THAT THEY ARE NOT REAL TEAM PLAYERS AND WANT TO WIN "SOLO" FOR THE RECOGNITION. TECH WILL TEAR HIM APART, YOU MIND MY WORDS!
6) GEORGIA...I BELIEVE THEY WILL STAY IN THE TOP 10 SINCE THEY LOST TO ANOTHER TOP 10 TEAM AND THEY DID ALMOST RALLY FOR A WIN LATE IN THE 4TH QTR.
7) PENN ST. NITTANY LIONS...YEP, THEY ARE RANKED 12TH THIS WEEK BUT DUE TO THEIR NATIONAL RECOGNITION AND HOW TECH IS STILL BEING DISREGARDED AND NOT TALKED ABOUT AT ALL TO CONTEND FOR A BCS BERTH, I HAVE A BAD FEELING THEY WILL JUMP A FEW SLOTS AND EVEN BE RANKED HIGHER THAN OUR RED RAIDERS. OUR RED RAIDERS ARE BEING TREATED LIKE RODNEY DANGERFIELD, IF YOU GET MY DRIFT.
8) TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS...SHOULD BE 6 IF I HAD A VOTE IN THIS.
9) BYU...WHICH WAS ALSO IDLE THIS WEEK AND #11 LAST WEEK @ 4-0.
10) OHIO ST...YES, THE BUCKEYES MIGHT GET BACK INTO THE TOP 10 PER MY OPINION.
SO, FOLKS AND FOLKETTES, IT IS 10:58 PM SATURDAY 9-27-08 AND THESE ARE MY RANKINGS. IT WILL PROBABLY NOT LOOK THE SAME AS THE AP OR USA, BUT IT WILL BE CLOSE. OUR RED RAIDERS SHOULD BE # 6, BUT I DOUBT THE SPORT'S WORLD IS READY TO ADMIT THAT OR TO EVEN GIVE US HALF THE CREDIT. ONE THING FOR SURE, THEY (SPORT'S WORLD) CANNOT STIFFLE US "LITTLE GUYS" ANYMORE AS WAS PROVEN THIS COLLEGE FOOTBALL WEEK BY THE LIKES OF OREGON STATE, OLE MISS, AND MICHIGAN. THEY REMINDED US THAT THE BIGGER SCHOOLS, WITH MORE MONEY AND MORE CLOUT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MEAN THEY ARE BETTER OR MORE READY THAN THE SMALLER SCHOOLS. YES, SIR, THE UNDER-DOGS BEAT THE PREDICTED WINNERS WHO ENDED UP BEING THE PROJECTED LOSERS.
PROVING MY THEORY...DAVID VS GOLIATH
