Its that time of week again for the BCS top 10 throwdown. USC is not on the list for the first time in a while, and USC is one more slip away from being unranked. Oh well it was a great run Trojans we'll be back on top next year!
1. Florida- Business as usual against South Carolina on Saturday. Was closer then I expected going into the but then the Gators hit their stride and pulled away.
Up next: vs. Florida International- As per usual, Florida has another tough non conference opponent here. The Gators might actually get challenged enough to the point that they only win by 42! Gators roll in another cupcake game 55-10.
2. Alabama- Look very impressive against a fairly tough Mississippi State team last week. The rest of their games are mute points as they are already focusing on the Gators in December.
Up next: vs Chattanoga. Seriously! This is why the SEC sucks because every team plays shit teams in non conference play. I'll give Bama credit for playing Va Tech earlier this year, but come on this is ridiculous. Grow some Saben. Bama rolls 49-14.
3. Texas- Longhorns hitting their full stride and can virtually punch their ticket to Los Angeles looking very impressive and like a worthy adversary for the UF-Bama winner.
Up next: vs Kansas- This matchup looked like a great one that could decide the best team in the big 12....about 5 weeks ago. After starting off 5-0, Kansas has lost 5 straight and looked terrible. Longhorns dominate the Jayhawks 45-13 here.
4. TCU- Got over their last hurdle against Utah and once again looked great doing it. They have proven they are worthy of a Sugar bowl birth, and will deservedly be the next team in line for a title shot if Texas manages to blow their chances.
Up next: TCU destroys Wyoming 55-10.
5. Cincinnati- Looked very vulnerable against a good but not great West Virginia team. Cincinnati just has Illinois in the way before the biggest game of the year against #8 Pitt in two weeks.
up next: vs Illinois- Potentially a trap game but Illinois is no good. Bearcats roll and prepare for Pitt with a 38-14 scrimmage.
6. Boise State- Same story as before. No need to comment they looks great and they feel alot more comfortable with USC losing as it makes one less team to take a much deserved BCS at large bid from them.
Up next: at Utah State- Boise dominates 52-7.
7. Georgia Tech- Not many teams have looked better in recent weeks then the Yellow Jackets who have locked up a date with likely Clemson for a shot at the Orange Bowl.
Up next: vs Georgia- Anything can happen in a rivalry game, but the Bulldogs really aren't that good and the Yellow Jackets are on fire. Ga Tech stings Georgia 31-17.
8. LSU- Once again showing how overrated they are with a 24-16 struggle against lowly Louisiana Tech where they trailed at halftime.
Up next: at Mississippi- Ole Miss is just as bad as LSU is imo, but they are at home and they have pride to play for. The winner of this game will get a legit bowl: Gator, Peach, something like that. And they will likely lose. Here, I'm going with the upset. Ole Miss knocks off LSU 27-21.
9. Pittsburgh- Pitt barely held on to beat the Fighting Irish, and have managed to crack into the top 10. The Panthers likely have Cincy on their minds, but they must think about West Virginia right now.
Up next: at West Virginia- If you look at Pitts schedule, they biggest wins are against Notre Dame and South Florida. Not too impressive. And with the Orange Bowl on the line against Cincy, Pitt is likely to slip up at WVU this week, and I think they will. Pitt loses in an upset 28-24.
10. Ohio State- The Buckeyes have looked very impressive in the past couple weeks, and Terelle Prior has shown why he is so hyped. Imo, Pryor has never lived up to his expectations, but its not his fault. He's been touted as the next Vince Young when reality is he's no where near his level. But with every game, he gets better, and next year might be his Heisman year.
Up next: at Michigan- The rivalry has lost some lust with Ohio state's domination recently, but it will still be a good game. The Buckeyes will come out and dominate the struggling Wolverines in all phases, and win big 28-13.
Those are my thoughts got 2 top 10 teams going down. What do you guys think? Comment with any thoughts or questions and I’ll be sure to get right back to you. Thanks for reading.
