I Rememer Now!

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?

#25Prev/NewNorth Carolina7-1

The Heels put a whuppin on #62 Pitt this week. They can win without Howell!

#24Prev/NewNotre Dame5-3

The Irirsh are hard to figure this year, but I think this is a reasonable result for first year HC Freeman.

#23Prev/NewIllinois7-1

Bielema? Really? I guess he's just made for the B1G

#22Prev20-2Miss State5-3

I love Mike Leach but I wonder if he'll ever take that "next step?"

#21Prev19-2Florida State5-3

3 losses but some really good wins keep FSU relevant. For now.

#20Prev21+1Tulane7-1

The Green Wave!

#19Prev13-6Wake Forest6-2

Can't get blown out and maintain, eh? Well, sometimes you can, but not in this case.

#18Prev10-8Texas5-3

Look, I like the Horns, but they need better wins.

#17Prev24+7Michigan8-0

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.

#16Prev11-5NC State6-2

Another one who needs better wins. I sense a theme...

#15Prev15-Utah6-2

Utes beat Wazzu. Meh? Still, no FCS schools on their schedule...

#14Prev12-2UCLA7-1

Yeah, I'm done with saying nice things about the Bruins.

#13Prev14+1OK State6-2

Yeah, they got smoked, but by a team they were supposed to lose to. It shouldn't cost them.

#12Prev18+6Mississippi8-1

I'm still not sold on Kiffin as HC, but he is very smart.

#11Prev7-4LSU6-2

It only take a couple of quality wins to generate enough points to be here.

#10Prev4-6Syracuse6-2

Look, they lost and moved down!

#9Prev9-USC7-1

Nice to see Lincoln RIley brought Big 12 D to the Pac 12.

#8Prev23+15Oregon7-1

Bo Nix ate his Wheaties!

#7Prev8+1Kansas State6-2

So weird seeing the Wildcats up here. Note that the AP had it as a huge upset. Obviously they had the rankings wrong. Shocked?

#6Prev5-1Alabama7-1

The SEC championship game will tell all here.

#5Prev16+11Ohio State8-0

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.

#4Prev2-2Tennessee8-0

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.

#3Prev6+3Georgia8-0

I still feel like Bennett will get exposed by a team that realizes he's short (for a QB).

#2Prev1-1Clemson8-0

Don't play and lose the top spot. Stuff happens...

...and now, for #1

#1Prev3+2Texas Christian8-0

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?
