My (Updated) Top 25 Poll

Well, this is getting interesting. After several Top 10 teams were upended this week, there is a lot of confusion as to who should be ranked where. This is just one man's opinion...but at least it's one man who actually watches the games.

1.) Florida
2.) Alabama

(this space shall remain empty to show the distance between the Tide and Gators and everyone else).

3.) Texas
4.) Iowa
5.) Cincinnati
6.) TCU
7.) USC
8.) Boise State
9.) Oregon
10.) Georgia Tech
11.) Virginia Tech
12.) Miami
13.) Oklahoma State
14.) Ohio State
15.) Penn State
16.) LSU
17.) BYU
18.) Notre Dame
19.) Oklahoma
20.) Houston
21.) Utah
22.) West Virginia
23.) Wisconsin
24.) Kansas
25.) South Florida

It goes to show you how bad some of these supposed "top teams" are that I have teams ranked that lost to Colorado, UTEP, and Florida State in my Top 25. However, there just isn't much left to throw into the mix. The final 10 spots are usually a toss-up anyway (4-2 teams look a lot alike after a while), so don't be offended if your team is 20th; it could easily be 17th or 25th. We'll see how things play out the rest of the year, but right now, it's clear that there are two really good teams and some others that are trying to get a chance to play them in the title game. Who's gonna step up and become a great team? Not sure, but it's gonna be fun to find out.
