Week 8 Top 25

The horrible betting weekend kept me away for a while, also gave me some time to think about this weeks poll with the big shakeup up top.

1. Ohio State
2. LSU
3. Oklahoma
4. California
5. South Florida
6. West Virginia
7. Oregon
8. Boston College
9. South Carolina
10. Kentucky
11. Florida
12. Virginia Tech
13. Arizona State
14. USC
15. Kansas
16. Auburn
17. Hawaii
18. Cincinnati
19. Georgia
20. Texas
21. Michigan
22. Tennessee
23. Texas Tech
24. Penn State
25. Virginia

I didn't penalize the losses as much as many people, I still believe that LSU is one of the two best teams in the country and Cal, if not for the inexplicable brain fart from Kevin Riley, would have won that game without their starting QB. Hawaii was unimpressive at San Jose State but they're still unbeaten and it counts for something this crazy season. Michigan returns to the poll as well with the big win over Purdue, which was not even as close as it looked as 2 TD's were scored in the last minute to cut the deficit to 27. Some more showdowns this week starting with South Florida heading to Rutgers as well as Auburn-LSU and Florida-Kentucky.
