For the life of me I could not recall why I excluded the 3rd Level points last year and the year before. It doesn't work! I feel like I have this "revelation" every season? Anyway, I removed it from the calculations. Again. So weird that I forget this. I'll leave myself a note for next season.
Did you watch the games this weekend? What was the biggest surprise for you? I'm going with KState v OkState. The loss by the Cowboys was sorta surprising, but the score was completely ridiculous. Also surprising:
OSU v PSU - still waiting on the Buckeyes to play a complete game on both sides. Is it weird to say that their D played well when they gave up 500 yards?? They did. And while Tuimoloau it getting all the press, we should be talking about Zach Harrison.
ND over Syracuse - can't figure out the Irish this season.
UL over Wake - upsets happen, but a blowout is unexpected.
UCF over UC - Luke Fickell's D gave up 505 yards!
Not much chaos, but still some fun results! Shall we move on to the new Top 25?
The Heels put a whuppin on #62 Pitt this week. They can win without Howell!
The Irirsh are hard to figure this year, but I think this is a reasonable result for first year HC Freeman.
Bielema? Really? I guess he's just made for the B1G
I love Mike Leach but I wonder if he'll ever take that "next step?"
3 losses but some really good wins keep FSU relevant. For now.
The Green Wave!
Can't get blown out and maintain, eh? Well, sometimes you can, but not in this case.
Look, I like the Horns, but they need better wins.
I am contractually obliged to hate TTUN (it says so on the back of my diplomas), but as a ranking site I remain neutral. The Wolverines need better wins.
Another one who needs better wins. I sense a theme...
Utes beat Wazzu. Meh? Still, no FCS schools on their schedule...
Yeah, I'm done with saying nice things about the Bruins.
Yeah, they got smoked, but by a team they were supposed to lose to. It shouldn't cost them.
I'm still not sold on Kiffin as HC, but he is very smart.
It only take a couple of quality wins to generate enough points to be here.
Look, they lost and moved down!
Nice to see Lincoln RIley brought Big 12 D to the Pac 12.
Bo Nix ate his Wheaties!
So weird seeing the Wildcats up here. Note that the AP had it as a huge upset. Obviously they had the rankings wrong. Shocked?
The SEC championship game will tell all here.
I don't know that PSU is worth 11 spots. I am pretty sure the Buckeyes are beneficiaries of removing the broken 3rd level points.
The Vols look for real, which is kind of nice to see. They'll be in the top 4 when the Invitational Committee releases their teams on Tuesday.
I still feel like Bennett will get exposed by a team that realizes he's short (for a QB).
Don't play and lose the top spot. Stuff happens...
...and now, for #1
I know I didn't see this coming, them durned horny toads are bringing the pain!
So, what do you tink of my Top 25?
