1)Boise St: They can beat every team 2 thru 9. Imaginative offense...Tough defense that has stopped every tough rush offense in the last two years
2)Oregon: I think first-year starter at QB(Thomas) will eventually cost Ducks, but, #2 for now.
3)Alabama: If Crimson Tide's young defense can figure out how to stop QB Newton and the Auburn vaunted offense, it should be 'Bama-Boise ST. in BCS Championship game.
4)TCU: Very good offense. Their defense, under Gary Patterson, always gets better as the year goes on. Utah game on road, Nov. 6th, will determine if Frogs stay in contention.
5)LSU: I don't think their offense will keep them in the picture, but, they have very good defense, and that SEC pedigree, so they get #5, for now.
6)Oklahoma: I think they are the worst of the remaining unbeatens, with no chance to win the BCS. But, they do have great athletes, and they are undefeated, so I'll give them some credit.
7)Ohio St: If Tressel would've showed more confidence in Pryor Saturday evening, and let him throw the ball in key situations, the results could've been different vs. Wiscy. Still very good team
8)Nebraska: Their QBs scare me, but their defense is very good. They held Texas to 4 for 16 in pass completions.
9)Auburn:This #9 spot may last just this week, as they face LSU Saturday. Very good offense under QB Newton. That defense will cost them.
10)Iowa: I'll always take a shot with a good defense, a decent running game, and an experienced QB.
11)Utah: They only have 4 starters back on defense, and, they haven't played anyone yet who can take advantage of that deficiency. Play Air Force, TCU and Notre Dame on consecutive weekends. Don't think they'll survive that stretch.
12)Darn North Carolina: I didn't even want to mention them here, but, if those darn kids(and agents) didn't mess everything up, my long-shot TarHells coulda been contenders.
13)Temple Owls: How can they be stopped with new QB Gerardi at the helm!
Come on, and give me your opinions. I'd love to tell you how wrong you are!

Sam,
ReplyDeleteThe ratings are a joke. Every time you think a team is invincible they lose. Just pick the 8 conference winners (or 6 and 2 wild cards) and let them play for the national championship. You could never pick a winner. The matchups would dictate who wins.
