Its Monday and that means its time to take a look at the top 10 for the BCS this week.
1. Florida- Looked very impressive against an ok but overrated Georgia team. The Gators can basically book their flight to Atlanta for the SEC Championship. Also, Urban Meyer showed his true colors again by given star linebacker Brandon Spikes the crippling 1 half suspension for his terrible eye gauging incident. I would say I hope the NCAA steps in and punishes him properly, but we all know they won't.
Up next: vs. Vanderbilt- Another easy matchup in the SEC here as Vandy destroys another bottom feeder 42-17.
2. Texas- Like Florida, Texas looked impressive against a good but overrated team in Oklahoma state. The rest of their schedule is so weak that they have no reason to not win their remaining games. If Texas wins out they will play the SEC champ for the title, and the only people happier about that then Texans are the runners of the BCS who will breathe easily if this follows through, despite the realistic possibility of 6 undefeated teams in the final top 10.
Up next: UCF- Another example of high power teams having cupcakes on their schedules. Texas's toughest non conference opponent is UTEP. That’s ridiculous, but to their credit, they did schedule Ohio State two years ago. So its not like Florida or the rest of the SEC(minus Bama) who have no balls and schedule 0 non conference games against top 100 teams lol. Texas dominates 48-10
3.Alabama- Was idle last week and must love the extra week of preparation for LSU this week. For my money, Bama is the 2nd best team in the nation, but no chance of an all SEC national title game, especially with all the undefeateds out there.
Up next: LSU- This won't be a close game. On the scoreboard, it might end up being JUST a 10 or 14 points difference, but this D will shut down LSU's offense all day. If LSU scores more the 14 points, I will be utterly shocked and will apologize to any LSU fans out there lol. Bama wins 24-6.
4. Iowa- Once again snagging victory from the jaws of defeat, Iowa needed 3 huge plays to get by a poor Indiana team. Iowa is plain and simply not that good, and if they can win out and play in the Rose Bowl, Oregon will crush them after the way they looked against USC.
Up next: vs Northwestern: This game has classic trap game written all over it. An Iowa team that has surprised everyone including themselves by going undefeated so far and getting ranked 4th. The game of their season and what many players ill be the game of their lives coming up.....in two weeks against Ohio St. And the only thing in their way is little old Northwestern, a team that hung with Penn state for 3qtrs. If this game was in Northwestern, I would be alot more comfortable saying this, but I'm still going to say it. Northwestern catches Iowa looking ahead, and beats them 21-17.
5. Cincinnati- Perhaps what is most impressive about Cincy this year is their stellar play without star QB Tony Pike the past couple weeks. They looked good once against last week, and are just 4 games away from an undefeated season and a Sugar bowl bid.
Up next: Uconn- You have to feel for the Huskies. In back to back weeks, it looked like they would pull close upsets to honor their fallen teammate Jesper Howard. But they lost in the last 2 minutes twice. Sadly, this game won't be that close. Cincy is the class of the Big east. Bearcats roll 35-14
6. TCU- Another great win shutting out UNLV, but Boise gained ground on them due to Oregon's stellar win. However, they are still ahead of Boise, and deservedly so. This is the best non bcs school in college football right now
Up next: @San Diego State- This could very well turn into a similar trap game as Iowa, as TCU has #14 Utah in two weeks. But unlike Iowa, TCU will be far superior then their opponents. TCU rolls 31-13
7. Boise state- Should we even bother following them on the scoreboard anymore? Their conference is pathetic and they will destroy everyone left by 21 points at least. And for anyone who thinks Oregon should be ahead of Boise, Boise beat them fair and square regardless of when it was and how the teams played. Head to head will trump paper stats like SOS any day.
Up next: @Lousiana Tech. Boise dominates. Plain and simple. 42-7
8. Oregon- Looked mighty impressive and far superior to USC on Saturday. Oregon should win out and represent the Pac-10 well in the Rose Bowl. And in a year where no one is stepping up, is it possible that Jeremiah Masoli might be able to steal the Heisman with a strong finish and a Pac-10 title?
Up next: at Stanford- The Ducks have to be careful to not fall into a let down game here as they celebrate all week after the big win. While everyone is expecting a blow out, I think Stanford brings their best game and keeps this surprisingly close. Ducks win by a touchdown 31-24
9. LSU- The Tigers got a nice scrimmage in with Tulane before Alabama this week. Way to give your guys a good test before Bama Mr. Miles.
Up next: @ Alabama- No reason to beat a dead horse here. Bama dominates here as they are the far superior team. If LSU can get close or even somehow win, I will accept all flack from my high school friends lol. Bama dominates 24-6
10. Georgia Tech- The team no one is talking about, Georgia Tech has looked like one of the best teams in the country after losing to Miami in week 3.Their win over Va Tech looks less impressive after UNC beat them last Thursday, but Ga Tech is still in the drivers seat for the ACC title and an Orange Bowl bid.
Up next: Wake Forest- Tech shouldn’t have any problem in the next two weeks, until Georgia. But even if they get upset there, they will still be the top team in the ACC. Tech handles Wake 31-14.
Those are my thoughts. What do you guys think? Can LSU prove me wrong and make me look like a fool? Am I crazy to think Northwestern can win. Comment with your thoughts. Thanks for reading guys.

I hope you're right about Northwestern. No team from the Big 10 deserves to even smell the NC game until they prove it on the field (i.e. win a game out of conference). I appreciate you giving Ga Tech some love (my alma mater). We're a fun team to watch. GO JACKETS!
Yea i agree. Jackets have looked solid gl in the Orange Bowl if you guys can hold on for it! Thanks alot for commenting I really appreciate it. I'll be posting random stuff throghout the week hope you enjoy it!
