MaxBuck;1552317; said:I'm not in the poll thingy, but here are my rankings based solely on how good I think the teams are and not so much on specific head-to-head results:
1. Florida
2. USC
3. Alabama
4. Texas
5. Ohio State
6. Oklahoma
7. Georgia
8. Penn State
9. Florida State
10. Arkansas
11. Mississippi
12. Va Tech
13. Miami
14. Iowa
15. Houston
16. Texas Tech
17. Wisconsin
18. Boise State
19. LSU
20. TCU
21. South Carolina
22. Auburn
23. South Florida
24. Cincinnati
25. Missouri
Some thoughts:
a. Cincinnati has a nice team, but 24th in the nation is as good as they are. Anyone who seriously thinks they win more than they lose against Penn State, or even Iowa, is delusional.
b. Penn State is clearly better than Iowa, even given the outcome of the game last night. Iowa got every possible break, and Clark had an absolutely dreadful game that is only partly explained by Iowa's very good defense.
c. I hesitate to even put LSU into the top 20. Top 20 teams should not struggle that much against Mississippi Freaking State. Yet the talent seems to be there.
d. Michigan has proven in its near-loss to Indiana that it does not belong in the top 25 - yet.
e. Florida State has failed in a couple of games, but if you watch that team closely, tell me they don't have top 10 talent. Maybe Bowden has had time pass him by, but I think by the end of the year they will be right there; I see them winning the ACC.
f. Ferentz seems to have his mojo fully back. How any coach can win with the limited raw talent he gets is beyond me. Iowa's ranking relates more to Ferentz and relatively little with who occupies the jerseys.
Maxbuck your more like max idiot. How can you say UC cannot beat either Iowa/Penn State after that miserable performance by both teams last night. They looked more like the Mac conference then the Big 10.
Here is the way the top 25 should be.
1. Florida (Unless Tebow is going to miss games)
2. Alabama
3. Texas
4. LSU
5. Virginia Tech
6. Boise St.
7. TCU
8. Houston
9. Cincinnati (Conservative rank)
10. Iowa
11. Oklahoma
12. Oregon
13. Georgia
14. Missouri
15. Kansas
16. USC
17. OSU (Lucky your here)
18. Georgia Tech
19. Mississippi
20. South Florida
21. South Carolina
22. Auburn
23. Michigan
24. BYU
25. Penn State
Your lucky I put more than 2 Big Ten teams. If UC gets a chance at OSU this year we will put them down. You may be "THE" OHIO STATE BUCKEYES but We are "THE" BEST TEAM IN OHIO IN 2009.
