Seven things...

I like everyone else am conflicted over the Oregon vs. Boise St. ranking issue. Boise beat Oregon by 12 in the 1st game of the year. Since then, Oregon has played a much tougher slate of games yet people are holding Oregon back. Had Oregon lost to Utah, I have no doubt in my mind they’d be ranked above TCU, Iowa and Cincy. However how do we know Boise isn’t deserving? Sure they played 1 tough team but they actually won it. For me, I look at the entire body of work (or try to) and I like Oregon more than Boise right now and have ranked Oregon 1 spot higher.

Michigan is going to have a new coach. And it is going to be Jim Harbaugh. RichRod won 3 games in 2008 and is going to cap out at 7 this year. That isn’t going to cut it. Michigan fans freak out over the Alamo bowl, much less the Motor City Bowl. The investigation on top of him being a jerk in general is going to seal his fate. Harbaugh is millions cheaper than Miles and Cincy is going to be playing in a BCS bowl so Michigan won’t wait for Brian Kelly to become free.

Urban Meyer is a gutless prick. You stud linebacker goes after the eye of a defenseless player and you suspend him for a half? This could have been avoided real easily. You sit Spikes down for the game and you look 10 times better. Florida is going to hurt Vandy with or without Spikes as it is so why not sit (rest) him and look good? It makes zero sense.

The Big 12 outside of Texas is disaster. The North division is a complete mess. There isn’t a team in there that could compete in the Big1011, Big East or ACC. The Big 12 South is Texas and then everyone else and week after week some team is getting housed by another. To hell with the entire conference. It is worthless other than Texas.

I loved watching Oregon dismantle USC. The second half was brilliant football by Oregon. Every possession they did whatever they wanted to and USC was powerless to stop it. USC should never give up 600+ yards to anyone unless they play in the NFL.

This is going to be the closest Heisman race in years. Ingram would be my pick today but others would include Tebow, Suh, Tate, Keenum, Clausen and others. I think it is still going to go through a big time school which eliminates Keenum, Clausen and Tate will cancel each other out. Suh is a D player on a very average team which leaves us Tebow and Ingram. Take your pick.

Texas is a lock for the national title game. As for the rest, I still like Florida who can only be beat by Alabama in the SECCG. In order to fuck it all up, we need LSU to beat Alabama, then Alabama to make the SECCG and beat UF. Then have Cincy, TCU, Boise and Iowa win out. Open season on the BCS v. 7.

Week 10 rankings

Yes, I have Oregon above BSU. As of right now, I think Oregon would handle BSU by 14 points minimum and Oregon has continued to play decent schools while Boise has played almost complete trash.

1. Florida (1)
2. Texas (2)
3. Alabama (3)
4. TCU (5)
5. Cincy (6)
6. Oregon (7)
7. Boise St. (8)
8. Iowa (9)
9. LSU (10)
10. G. Tech (NR)

Dropped out USC #4.
