Like a U.S. representative inappropriately booing and heckling the President during his address, I have some grievances to share and can think of no better time.
Here's your AP Top 25 this week.
1. Florida
2. Texas
3. USC
4. Alabama
5. Oklahoma State
6. Mississippi
7. Penn State
8. Ohio State
9. Brigham Young
10. California
11. LSU
12. Boise State
13. Oklahoma
14. Virginia Tech
15. Georgia Tech
16. TCU
17. Utah
18. Notre Dame
19. North Carolina
20. Miami
21. Georgia
22. Nebraska
23. Cincinnati
24. Kansas
25. Mizzou
I find polls to be a pain in the butt for a number of reasons. First, after a first week when teams like Nebraska and Penn State went out and dominated weak, weak opponents, they're rewarded when it's unclear yet whether they're good enough to beat real teams.
Then you've got BYU, which beat Oklahoma thanks I'm guessing in part to the Heisman Trophy Winner's game-ending (four-game ending) shoulder injury.
Or, for example, you've placed Cincinnati in the top 25 because they beat Rutgers handily. I get that Rutgers was supposed to be good, but they sure didn't look good. So what makes everyone believe that Cincy will be any good the next 11 games of the season? And finally, Boise State takes down Oregon but not without having three turnovers in the game. So they're now ranked 12th? It just seems early to be making statements.
Especially when those statements include Ohio State (which very nearly lost to Navy) dropping only two spots.
