It's week 2 of the Stiles Points College Power Rankings....1. Florida (6-0) - the Gators were lucky against Arkansas...the referees helped the Gators on the game-tying touchdown...this week Urban Meyer faces his long time former assistant, Dan Mullen who is at Mississippi State...there are clearly chinks in their armor...Florida is beatable...
2. Alabama (7-0) the Tide keeps on winning...this week Tennessee heads into Tuscaloosa...watch the old man - Monte Kiffin - design a defense to stymie the Tide...
3. Cincinnati (6-0) - the Bearcats were impressive in a hostile game at South Florida...Cinncy did lose their quarterback Pike...why not move the Bearcats to #3 this week...
4. Texas (6-0) - the Longhorns have not been impressive so far this year...they muscled out a big win over a very tough Oklahoma defense...Hook 'Em (photo)...
5. Boise State (6-0) - the Broncos head to Hawaii this week...they are a better team than the Warriors, but that island of Hawaii and the bikini women could play with their minds...
6. Southern Cal (5-1) - it got shakey at the end of the game, but the Trojans seems to be playing better ball...
7. LSU (5-1) - the Bayou Bengals were off this week as they licked their wounds from the Gator loss...this week Auburn comes to Death Valley...Auburn has lost 2 in row over the last 2 weeks...
8. Miami (5-1) - now that the spotlight has been off The U, they have slowly got back in the Top 10...they host an up-and-down Clemson team this week...
9. Iowa (7-0) - the Hawkeyes did a good job winning in a tough spot at Wisky...this week they visit Sparty...
10. TCU (6-0) - the Horned Frogs play at BYU this week...this is a statement game...
11. Penn State (5-1) - Penn State comes off an unimpressive 20-0 win over Minnesota...
12. Georgia Tech (6-1) - the Yellow Jackets only loss was to The U...Paul Johnson is one of the best coaches in the game...
13. Oklahoma State (5-1) - the Cowboys have rebounded well after their loss to Houston...they have quietly been laying in the weeds...
14. Oregon (5-1) - the Quack Attack had the week off...
15. Texas Tech (5-2) - T2 steals the 15th spot from the Fighting Manginos who lost to Colorado...
16. Notre Dame (4-2) - I was impressed the way Notre Dame fought back at the end...the Irish have a lot of heart and are not being appreciated by the media...
Thoughts
- I was stunned by the beatdown that Nebraska took at home against Texas Tech...just when it looked like Husker Nation was back, they take a slip...
- Ohio State dropped out of the Top 16...do you realize that Ohio State has the same record at Michigan (5-2)...what are the Buckeye faithful thinking...
- What happened to Illinois...two years ago the Illini were in the Rose Bowl, today they stand at 1-5...I thought Ron Zook was turning that program around with good recruiting classes...
- The best quarterback this year is Jimmy Clausen...
- College officials are calling too many unsportsmanlike penalties on players...
- Oklahoma at Kansas this week...the Sooners are sitting at 3-3 with all 3 losses being by a total of 12 points...
Interesting Tidbit
This was in Sunday's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette by reporter Ray Fittipaldo:
"Pryor chose Ohio State over Michigan in the recruiting process because he felt like he would be better prepared for the NFL playing in a pro-style offense. But what NFL team would invest a first-round draft pick in Pryor right now. Hindsight is 20-20, Pryor might hae been better off at Michigan in an offense suited to his strengths."
