ZN Top 25: Week 13

This is it, the final weekend of regular-season college football.

1. Missouri (LW: 3) Would you want your team to face the Tigers?
2. Ohio State (4) The Buckeyes' loss to Illinois is better than...
3. West Virgina (5) The Mountaineers' loss to South Florida.
4. Kansas (1) This is still a great team that will, unfortunately, win nothing more than a bowl game this season.
5. Virginia Tech (6) Frank Beamer's finally got an offense to go along with his special teams and defense.
6. Georgia (8) The best team in a "down" year for the SEC. Yes, I said it.
7. Hawai'i (13) Week after week, still undefeated.
8. Illinois (12) If the Illini defeated any team ranked above them, would it really be an upset?
9. Oklahoma (11) This team is amazing when healthy, but take away their skill players and they're doomed.
10. Florida (14) Then you wonder how this team lost three games.
11. Boston College (15) Isn't it great that two former Big East teams will play for the ACC title?
12. LSU (2) Over-rated! (clap1 clap! clap clap clap!) A team should never be ranked No. 1 just because they're in the SEC.
13. Virginia (9) Still a great turnaround season for the Cavaliers, and 10 wins are certainly possible.
14. USC (17) OK, so you beat up on a good Sun Devils team. You want a freaking medal?
15. BYU (20) The Cougars are sliding up the rankings, completely under the radar... again.
16. Tennessee (NR) The win over UK might have just allowed Phil Fulmer to save his job in the SEC title game.
17. Clemson (23) Good game, but the Tigers, again, fell short of their potential.
18. Arizona State (7) No one in Tempe should be upset, this was a great resurgent year under Erickson.
19. Cincinnati (22) The Bearcats' three losses were by a combined 16 points this season.
20. Oregon (10) This team was toast after Dixon went down, good luck in the bowl game.
21. Texas (16) You never want to be the last team a coach beats, especially when that coach is alread fired when he beats you.
22. Penn State (24) I have nothing to base this ranking on other than that I still believe PSU is one of the 25 best teams in the nation.
23. Wisconsin (25) No way do I rank the Badgers ahead of PSU, after getting smashed 38-7.
24. Boise State (19) Don't feel bad Broncoes, no other team beat Hawai'i either.
25. Connecticut (18) A nice bowl win will make everyone forget about getting pantsed by WVU.

Dropped Out:
Texas Tech (21) Winning seasons are about all you can expect from a program like this, so with that: another good job by Mike Leach.
