Top Ten - Week 8

The big games for my Longhorns keep coming. After an impressive win over O-Who, Bevo welcomes Missouri to Austin this. My thoughts? Missouri is a bit overrated, haven not beaten a big game opponent in their recent surge into the upper echelon of the media's view of them. Last year they were manhandled by the Sooners twice, and beat an overmatched Arkansas team in the Cotton Bowl (another slight on the SEC, I know). Chase Daniel showed his true colors, throwing temper tantrums on the sidelines and displaying his "grit" as his team came up short at home to Oklahoma State. Texas should win, easier than you think - 45-28.

1.Texas - the reward for the OU win.
2. Penn State - a win at Wisconsin is impressive, especially when you manhandle opponents the way JoePa has done this year.
3. Alabama - the win over Clemson seems ho-hum these days. The slip up against Kentucky seems odd. Are these guys really that good? (Is ANYONE really that good?)
4. Oklahoma State - a huge win at Missouri. This team is dangerous.
5. Texas Tech - It wasn't pretty, but the Raiders pulled out the win and remained undefeated. Hence, the higher ranking.
6. Oklahoma - A dream of mine? The BCS somehow gets 1 loss OU vs. undefeated Texas in Miami. With enough losses by the rest, it COULD happen.
7. Georgia - If you lose, it might as well be to a the #3 team.
8. Florida - I still think these guys will faceplant, but the demolition of LSU was impressive.
9. USC - you know what is gross? The AP has USC above 2 undefeated teams. THEY LOST TO OREGON STATE!!!!!! Staying in the top 25 should be plenty, but putting them above teams without a loss in a legit conference is naussiating.
10. Ohio State - until the Penn State showdown next weekend, we can't be sure who is the team to beat. God help us, if the Buckeyes win, punch their ticket to Miami. Let's just hope it's no rematch vs. USC.

The polls are a joke. The media bias towards Obama pales compared to the sports media bias towards USC.

One more time - all together now - USC LOST TO OREGON STATE...
