ZN Top 25: Week 4

1. Oklahoma (LW: 1) It's like 2003 all over again.
2. LSU (2) While the final score was a bit deceiving, Tigers were still less impressive this week.
3. USC (3) Trojans can kill you however they want; either with the run or pass.
4. Florida (4) Tebow could win the Heisman; if he were an upperclassmen.
5. West Virgina (5) This week will prove if the 'Neers are for real; remember the 2006 upset in Morgantown?
6. California (7) After handling Tuscon, will the Bears be able to handle Autzen Stadium?
7. Ohio State (8) Northwestern lost to Duke, just remember that.
8. Oregon (9) Could be the Ducks' chance to launch themselves into title contention.
9. Rutgers (10) A well-rested Knights team is dangerous, especially against pedestrian UMD in NJ.
10. Boston College (11) Matt Ryan should be in the Heisman conversation, but isn't because he's not Doug Flutie; although Ryan's better.
11. Texas (13) Don't get too excited 'Horns fans; KSU will expose any leftover kinks.
12. Wisconsin (12) I know Iowa's defense is really good, but in Madison, the Badgers should have rolled; this is a weird team.
13. Clemson (18) The Tigers are flying so low under the RADAR, they're under ground.
14. Georgia (21) The USC loss doesn't look so bad now, but UGA won't contend for the East title.
15. Penn State (6) Can Paterno get his head out of his ass when it comes to playing UM? Was it 1955 in his play-calling mind?
16. USF (16) This is it, go time; The bulls have all the tools to start their run with a win over WVU.
17. Michigan State (24) I'm giving MSU a chance this high, but this team thinks different now, tougher.
18. Kentucky (NR) It's taken a while, but the 'Cats make their debut; I wasn't sold on the UL win.
19. South Carolina (17) Put up the best fight yet against LSU.
20. Alabama (14) Tide overachieved a bit in the beginning, but now it's time to get back down to earth.
21. Virginia Tech (22) UNC could scare the Hokies for a quarter, but VT will roll by halftime.
22. Arizona State (25) This team has 7-0 written all over it.
23. Missouri (23) Better rest up before the big NU showdown next week.
24. Cincinnati (NR) This team has the defense to win games, and the offense to keep them from losing.
25. Purdue (NR) OK, 31 to the Gophers is a bit much, but Curtis Painter is for real.

Dropped Out:
Georgia Tech (15) Jumped on the Ramblin' Wreck too soon.
Arkansas (19) Even against UK, the defense needs to get better.
Louisville (20) Louisville got "slugged."
