If someone cast a ballot with USC and California in the top three and five Pac Ten Teams in the top 25 at the beginning of the season, they’d be called as crazy as anyone who had put South Florida and Kentucky in the Top Ten. But those are exactly what the Coaches did this week in their Top 25 College Football Poll.

1. Southern California: Yes, the Trojans struggled against Washington but Championship Teams, in the face of adversity, win. From what we’ve seen that is the difference between this year’s Trojans and the 2006 squad.
2. Louisiana State: Perhaps the only competitive SEC school to schedule a non-patsy in Out Of Conference play and defeat them. That, and reputation alone, get the Tigers up this high.
3. California: One of these top three will have a loss by the end of the season, but the Bears control their destiny after beating Tennessee and Oregon in two marquee September matchups.
4. Oklahoma: Sure, the Sooners lost this weekend but they have been putting on a good show all season long and look like they will continue to do so. It is hard to argue that any of the undefeated teams are much better.
5. Florida: Yes, the Gators lost to Auburn but their Spread Option offense is still revolutionary to the SEC Defenses which means they will continue to win games.
6. Ohio State: But for the grace of them being undefeated, I would want to put the Buckeyes lower, simply because, well, the Big Ten is the worst conference this year–barely beating the Big XII for the crown.
7. Boston College: The Eagles made a statement early by beating Clemson. Watch out for Matt Ryan to be a Heisman contender if they keep winning!
8. Oregon: The Ducks lost to California by mere inches and have shown what they can do to the best the Big Ten has to offer. Now they just have to get over their tendency to fall apart after a quick start.
9. Hawaii: Looked significantly better against UNLV than did #10…
10. Wisconsin: I really don’t want to put the Badgers here but what else are you going to do? They are on FRAUD alert.


Geaux Gators and Beat the Farm!
Fight ON!!!

USC is the best football team ever!!
