Top 25 - Week 4


















This week was one of those week is college football when you take a look at the rankings and just say wow. There were so many upsets, Mississipi, Miami, Cal, and Penn State. So many of these teams think that since they are picked to win that they are automatically going to do it. Its college football, you have to play each and every week.

Game of the Week
-Cal at Oregon
Everybody had Cal ranked so high, cause they were sitting at the no 6. spot. After this weekend I don't think they should even be ranked. Its great to see a struggling Oregon team absolutely man handle a Cal team, scoring 42 unanswered points.

Other Upsets
-Miami at Virgina Tech
Miami is back, The U is coming, its 2002 all over again.... Miami who, after getting beat by Virgin Tech they are the same Miami they have been for the past seven years. Nothing has changed, they got flat out destroyed. I look forward to seeing them flop and having a loosing record in conference.

-Iowa at Penn State
There something about a hawkeye vs a nittany lion. Thats two years in row now that Iowa has taken the glimpse of a Penn State National title game and crushed it. After last nights embarrassment I can see Penn State loosing to a much better Ohio State Team and a tricky Michigan Spread.

-Mississippi at South Carolina
I was tempted to remove the Rebels from the top 25 because of how bad a lose this was this week. The Rebels really needed a strong SEC start if they expected to make it through unscared but with a crushing lose like that, they now get to look forward to two more beat downs this season by LSU and Alabama.

Reasoning
-USC Dropping
They are USC, they should have beat Washington and they should have killed Washington St. They are just not looking good. The win against the Buckeye's was luck, they should be sitting at 2-2 right now. I don't think they will make it through the PAC-10 without another lose.

-Iowa Jumping
They looked really good and have started off at 4-0, Knocking off a strong Penn State deserves some respect. Did you see the conditions they did it in? Rain, strong wind, and to top it off going into Happy Valley for a white out night game.

-Oklahoma Dropping
They are still dropping in my mind because of a BYU lose that was just down right pathetic and until they show me something good they will continue to drop to teams that are winning big.

-Oregon Jumping
They outplayed a Cal team after the first field goal. Everything went their way scoring 42 unanswered points, they deserve to be in the top 15.

-Georgia Dropping
A win this week against Arizona State, but barely. If they want to move up lets see a quality win.

-Ohio State Jumping
Two weeks in a row for shut outs, their defense is looking to be one the best in the country. The USC game was very close and they should have pulled out the win so that lose doesn't hurt them as bad as it could have.

-TCU Dropping
Nearly escaped a win against a not so great Clemson team. They better step up or they will start to get passed by better bigger conference teams.

-Cincinnati Jumping
They are on the move, They escaped this weekend by only 8 points however they are now 4-0 and the team is looking really in sync. Their schedule isn't too rough, I can see them maybe loosing one this season or making it all the way undefeated. A lot of it rides on the health of their star quarterback Pike.
