1. USC - not even close. Can this even be debated at this point?
2. LSU - impressive win at Auburn with some Les Miles magic puts LSU above those who've yet to play a team with any significant competition.
3. Oklahoma - this week's "top 25" showdown with TCU should be a lopsided affair. We said the same thing in 2005, when the Frogs knocked OU off their pedestal...I don't expect the same this year.
4. Georgia - going to Arizona State and winning may not seem like a big deal to folks viewing ASU as a bit overrated, but wait until the year ends - you'll find ASU in a good bowl game, and this victory an affirmation that Georgia is the real deal. Still, don't expect a BCS title trip from the Dogs...
5. Texas - Play someone. Same for #6 Missouri. Still, both the Horns and the Tigers have impressive offenses clicking on all cylinders. Both have questions on defense. Come Oct 18, one falls way down the polls. UT gets the nod here based on their bend don't break defense. While we all wonder how they can give up so many yards, the fact is Texas ranks 1st in the Big 12 in the only defensive stat that matters - points per game.
6. Missouri - See Texas. Chase Daniels stats look great, but I could throw for 400 plus yards against Buffalo.
7. BYU - Demolition of UCLA will become more impressive as the season wears on. Until they get beat, BYU earns the right to be here.
8. Wisconsin - Someone from the Big 10 has to be in the top ten, most likely so that we can verify the fact that the Big 10 sucks when they lose. Don't be shocked if it's this Saturday against Michigan.
9. Alabama - They get one week in the top 10. They'll fall after the Georgia game. And they'll continue to fall with LSU and Auburn upcoming. Still, few teams have looked so good so far this year.
10. Florida - A beatdown of patsies doesn't impress me. I don't think Florida has it. As mentioned, they'll fall this year. 9-3 if they are lucky.
Picks for week 4:
Georgia -6.5 vs Alabama
Oklahoma State -16.5 vs. Troy
UPSET - Colorado should win straight up vs. Florida State. The Seminoles blow
