Wow! Some real shockers this week that certain have BCS and National Championship implications. Let’s get right to it!
Whoa! What happened to Auburn? Now if you remember, I said that Arkansas would make this a game, but I didn’t expect Auburn to roll over. But, in hindsight I might have seen this coming. Auburn has been inconsistent the last couple of weeks and boom..they showed it. So bye bye Auburn and a National Championship bid, most likely.
Similarly,I was flabbergasted by Florida State getting handled by Norrth Carolina State!. Funny just a few weeks ago, Florida State was in the top ten. Chances are they wont even be in the top 25 after their loss.
Ohio State, USC, Michigan, Florida and Texas all were consistent winners, but what about California dominating a tough Oregon team! That was unexpected to me also.
So with these results, lets take a look at the top 25 as I rank them this week:
1. Ohio State (6-0) – Beat Bowling Green 35-7. Next week: At Mich St.
