ZN Top 25: Week 5

This week was one of the craziest I've ever seen. So, most of the teams ranked this week lost at least one game. The teams in the top-10 (other than LSU and USC) only got there because so many other teams choked. It was a fun Saturday in college football!

1. LSU (LW: 2) Even the No. 1 team in the nation, against Tulane had trouble Saturday.
2. USC (3) UW aaaalmost had this one; if the overruled pick in the EZ was good, USC might have fallen.
3. Ohio State (7) The Bucks are looking much better, but still, it was against the worst team in the Big Ten.
4. California (6) Now that was impressive; I pegged UO to win, but the Bears won a classic.
5. Wisconsin (12) This is still a weird team; but a win against MSU is still worthy of this ranking.
6. USF (16) Ok, maybe this is too high, but who else could play this schedule? I called this upset.
7. Kentucky (18) Talk about shooting up the polls; the Cats went from riding bitch to the driver's seat in the SEC East.
8. Boston College (10) The Eagles didn't need to win big this week.
9. Florida (4) The QB draw can only work so many times; Tebow looked human again.
10. Oklahoma (1) A bitch slap for the ages; Buffs came better prepared.
11. Georgia (14) It could be Dogs vs. Cats for the East title.
12. Arizona State (22) I don't know why, but I have a good feeling about what the Devils are doing.
13. South Carolina (19) The Spurrier O is finally clicking; the MSU defense is still very good.
14. Purdue (25) There's a chance for a back-in conference title if the cards fall right.
15. West Virgina (5) This was no fluke; the 'Neers were ready for USF, and the better team won.
16. Cincinnati (24) It's early, but wouldn't it be interesting to see the Cats in the BCS?
17. Hawai'i (NR) Undefeated is undefeated; but it won't be that way at the end of the season.
18. Virginia Tech (21) I said the 'Heels would scare the Hokies; and that VT would pull away.
19. Oregon (8) This is a bit of a drop for the Ducks; but now it's about whether they can regroup.
20. Missouri (23) NU is ripe for the picking; the Tigers need a win to even think about a North title.
21. Kansas St. (NR) Could it be that KSU just out-moxied the 'Horns?
22. Rutgers (9) This was a bad loss at home; lucky for the Knights, it wasn't a conference game.
23. Texas (11) I said last week KSU would surprise; didn't think this much though; back to the drawing board.
24. Kansas (NR) It was either KU or Virginia here; I like the Jayhawks' offense, and the defense is always good.
25. Michigan State (17) Tough loss at Camp Randall; but I don't think this will mean a complete collapse like past seasons.

Dropped Out:
Clemson (13) Come on, the Tigers should have had this one no problem.
Penn State (15) This was the polar opposite of the 2006 win; in 2007, PSU made the crucial mistakes.
Alabama (20) Saban is no longer a diety; but the 'Tide can still make noise this year.
