ZN Top 25: Week 10

I was really rooting for BC this week. It's been a long time since a north/mid-Atlantic team got to the championship game. Maybe next year.

1. Ohio State (LW: 1) - The Bucks just wanted to play with us, make us think UW had a shot; if it makes anyone feel better, UW lost by one more point than PSU did.
2. Oregon (6) - This was one of the better games on; too bad the voters still have a massive boner for LSU and the SEC; This team can go all the way.
3. Oklahoma (3) - People are quickly forgetting about the CU loss; but unless LSU loses, OU will be shut out of the BCS championship.
4. LSU (4) - Where did the "world's-best-defense" go? I don't know about you, but this team needs to clamp down fast; I thought the SEC was a defensive conference.
5. West Virgina (5) - Lock them in to a BCS slot; but like OU, unless teams lose, don't count on the Championship Game.
6. Kansas (8) - Don't you just feel bad for Nebraska? Me neither.
7. Boston College (2) - Almost everyone knew the Eagles weren't going to run the table; so much for Ryan's Heisman campaign.
8. Missouri (9) - Dominating a CU team that beat OU is just what the Tigers needed; the Big XII North is back, minus NU.
9. Arizona State (7) - It's still a great season; now go get USC.
10. Connecticut (14) - One point from undefeated; at Cincy and at WVU will be make-or-break time for the Huskies.
11. Virginia Tech (16) - Where has that offense been all year; the Hokies lucked out when GT overthrew a wide open receiver.
12. Georgia (10) - Again, I thought the SEC was the best defensive conference? Well, giving up 30 to Troy doesn't help that argument.
13. Michigan (11) - Sure, anyone can beat MSU when the Spartans have a massive lead late in the game; UM shouldn't have struggled, with or without Henne/Hart 100%.
14. Hawai'i (13) - Undefeated is undefeated; that's more than most teams can say.
15. Boise State (15) - I can't wait for the Nov. 24 game vs. Hawai'i; let's hope BSU isn't thinking the same.
16. Florida (12) - The Gators could be in for a drop out if they lose to South Carolina.
17. Texas (19) - The Horns may have just gotten another coach fired; Where has Jamal Charles been all year?
18. Virginia (NR) - You knew this team would be dubbed "The Cardiac Cavs" sooner or later.
19. USC (23) - USC will remain a "good" team, not a superpower as it has been.
20. Penn State (NR) - Does this PSU team ever wake up before halftime? I know, they just want to make the other teams think they have a chance.
21. Kentucky (20) - A week off better mean a sharp performance; Vandy is a dangerous team.
22. Alabama (18) - Had LSU on the ropes, but couldn't close the deal; many in Norman and Eugene are pissed off at the Tide right now.
23. Auburn (24) - Oooo, you beat Tennessee Tech; AU/UGA games are always entertaining.
24. Clemson (NR) - The Tigers could punch a ticket to Atlanta if it wins out; Wake Forest and BC are pissed off though, and want blood.
25. Cincinnati (NR) - The Bearcats are still hanging around in that wild Big East race.

Dropped Out:
USF (17) - Free... Free Fallin'!
Wake Forest (21) - Anyone playing UVA should have been expecting that sort of final score.
Wisconsin (22) - Did Bucky really think OSU would roll over and let UW walk out with a win?
Tennessee (25) - If this UT defense doesn't make wholesale changes (ULL win doesn't count), it could be a long day against Darren McFadden.
