BCS Top 10 Throwdown

tayke2 On 5:47 PM

Not much shake up in the top 10 last week except for the upset that I called with LSU. Wasn't surprised they have 2 "quality" losses and 0 quality wins. Also called Pitt losing, but they didn't...because they didn't play. My bad lol. Ok here we go lets see what we got this week.

1. Florida- Don't feel like commenting on another cupcake win for Florida.
Up next: vs Florida State- Amazing their toughest non conference game by far, the Gators win easily on Tim Tebow's senior nite, then get ready for Bama. Gators roll 41-17.

2. Alabama- Same thing as Florida. Don't deserve much credit for scheduling Chattanooga and winning big. Whoop de do.
Up next: at Auburn- Same thing as Florida. One more warm up before Florida. Crimson Tide take it 35-17.

3. Texas- Longhorns again look very impressive against Kansas. Texas has their championship shot locked up if they can win two more games.
Up next: at Texas A&M-Despite having a worse record then Nebraska, this will be the toughest game left for Texas. The 12th man will be on fire, and I actually feel like A&M will hang for a while, but they wont have enough. Horns hook em 31-21.

4. TCU- This team represents the best shot a small school will have at a title game. Sadly, a team in Austin will get in the way. this team will play, and play well, in the BCS this year.
Up next: vs New Mexico- The question isn't will they go undefeated. The question is: The Sugar Bowl or the Fiesta Bowl? TCU closes out a perfect season with a 38-14 win.

5. Cincy- Tony Pike is back which is great news for Bearcat fans. Illinois will serve as a nice warmup for what could be one of the best games of the year next week if Pitt can beat WVU.
Up next: Illinois- Will be used to measure how Pike is feeling. He needs to be healthy for Pitt. Bearcats jump out early then take their foot off the gas. They win 31-17.

6. Boise State- You know what I think of the Broncos. Win win win.
Up next: Nevada. Its a shame they have such a poor schedule. These guys are really good. Boise routs Nevada 52-24.

7. Georgia Tech- They've had a week off to prepare for their instate rivalry game. The Jackets are a team no one wants to play right now.
Up next: Were this not an instate rivalry game, I would call trap with Clemson waiting in the wings for the ACC Title. But these guys will be focused, espeically after the bye week. Jackets handle business 27-13.

8. Oregon- Huge win agaisnt Arizona but they are far from out of the woods. Who would have thought at the beginning of the year, especially after the Boise loss, that this in state rivalry game would be deciding the Pac-10.
Up next: vs Oregon St. Were this in Corvalis, I would call an upset. But at home, the crowd will not let the Ducks slip up here. The Ducks punch their ticket to Pasadena in a shootout 41-34.

9. Pittsburgh- Pitt barely held on to beat the Fighting Irish, and have managed to stay in the top 10 after the bye. 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- Jesus how are the Buckeyes already done. Most teams have at least 2 if not 3 games left. Congrats to the Buckeyes who earned thier Big 10 title and their Rose Bowl bid.

Those are my thoughts. What are yours? Any other upsets besides Pitt? Leave comments please I love to get feedback. Thanks for reading.
