Unimpressive afternoon!

After watching the LSU/UF game, I couldn't believe I was watching two of the top five teams in the country. Were they both so good that they could do NOTHING? Of the two, LSU was thoroughly horrible, and yet I found myself surprised that after playing the supposedly best team in the country, they had fallen to tenth in the latest poll. Alabama is, at this stage, the best team in the country. After a game against VTU, where it appeared to be less than spectacular, they rolled off several big wins, (one against a less notable Mean Green 53-7 - I mention that to motivate a cousin of mine to comment!), however, after further review, that 34-24 victory over Virginia Tech might be more impressive than first thought. VTU is much better than I thought they were. Texas, I bite my tongue leaning over a fence because I don't know if they are any good. They have played NO ONE! Okay, TTU would argue that they are someone, having a 4-2 record, however, those four wins aren't wins I would place on my mantle as memorable games against memorable teams. Texas will get a test over the next three weeks. If they are undefeated after that, I will give them another look. Virginia Tech has four quality games of their six, winning all but one of them. They give credibility to Alabama. We all know where I stand on BOISE!!! WIN OUT, PLEASE!!! Nowhere in the universe is there more justice about to be handed down to a playoff system than if BOISE wins out and is offered the opportunity to play for the national championship. #6 is USC. Funny, USC isn't even the best team in the Pac 10, in my opinion. I believe that belongs to Oregon. They have thoroughly impressed me on both sides of the line. (Mind you, their lone loss is to BOISE!!!) They had quality wins against the Utes and Cal, before dispatching UCLA, which was supposed to be a team to beat. I will most definitely be watching Oregon/USC with much interest. If Ohio State is better than Iowa, I will be surprised, but since neither is that good, who cares. (And their third wheel in that league, Penn St. hasn't played a quality team, other than Iowa, and they LOST.) Ho hum, another crappy big 10, er 11 (try to figure out why a league called big 10 has 11 teams, and that their logo big 10 has an 11 hidden in it.)
Sad that USC rides its rating on beating Ohio St.
Cincinnati, CINCINNATI? Well, they did beat Oregon State, and beating a Pac 10 team always gets you a star. Remain undefeated and you get to ride that wave. Yet, there can be only one. Only one Cinderella that is, and that is BOISE!!!
Finally, Miami gets the nod at 10. A team I spent my life disliking, has crept back into the national picture, albeit with a win against an FSU team that was overrated when they beat them, followed by a BYU team that was overrated when they beat them. Personally, the ACC might be more overrated than the overrated SEC. Yeah, you heard it here, the SEC is overrated. LSU, isn't that good. Take out South Carolina and LSU from the rankings and what do you have? You have twelve teams with only two teams worthy of ranking, albeit, number one and number two at this point in the season!
The big 12, now that is a division. You throw Missouri and Texas Tech into the fold and you have SEVEN quality teams, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, and of course Texas.
My Pac 10 has more than the two ranked teams that are quality teams. Toss in Cal and OSU, wait and see. As for Washington, not so much. They are overachievers this year, as is Stanford. Arizona, should have been a contender, but after that ridiculous loss to UW, I think they are going to be UNDERachievers this year.
By the way, were there any good games this weekend? Arizona/Washington, Iowa/Michigan, two 'who cares' games. Just wonderful.
