way too high for georgia, ok state clearly sucks, you just say that because you are a fan of theirs.

How is that too high? Unlike any other team in the top-10, Georgia actually played a team that was BREATHING. They should be rewarded for doing so.

Their performance was impressive.

But let me guess, instead of giving Georgia credit, you're going to be like Mark May and the other idiots at ESPN and say, well, OSU just wasn't any good.

Nope, not buying it. If they were supposed to upset the Dawgs, and then the Dawgs came and blew them out, that means the Dawgs should be a top-10 team, for now.

Once again, my top-10 is based on PERFORMANCE.

Stop being a hater.

I will start by saying I agree with a lot of what you said, but it would be boring to list all of that. So, here are some of my disagreements:

1. Did you watch the first half of the LSU game? They struggled bigtime despite Miss State's QB turning into Reggie Ball. This weekend, their win won't be giftwrapped. At this point, Southern Cal is clearly better.

2. I think you're giving Cal too much love. I know they scored 40 points on Tennessee, but their defense leaves something to be desired. I think they belong 5-10 spots lower.

3. I would put Georgia in the high teens, but there's no sense in us debating that.

4. We won't know how good Boise St is until they play at Hawaii at the end of the season. You may be picking them because you think they're going to go undefeated and make a BCS Bowl, but it's a stretch to say that they're better than Wisconsin, Virginia Tech, or Auburn. Don't you remember when they came to Athens a few years ago?

Droopy, it's all performanced based. How can you see Georgia play this weekend and say Wisconsin, Ohio State, or VaTech is better. The Dawgs deserve to be in the top-10 this week. We'll see how it plays out, but for dominating a team that was supposed to come into Athens and upset them, they deserve it this week.

MSU has a chance to win 6 games in the SEC this year, and that means a lot. They're a better team. ESPECIALLY on defense. Yes, their offense isn't up to SEC snuff, but they have a decent defense.

Cal deserves the love because they're not going to play a team that good all year in the Pac-1 plus 9 until they play USC. Not saying that Tennessee is in the same boat as USC, it's just they're better than any one else in the Pac1 plus 9 (Oregon, UCLA, etc.).

And Boise State has earned their spot. They had a good team last year, and return most of everyone who matters. If they were good enough last year, they're good enough this year. If they were in a lesser conference like the Big-ZERO, ACC, or Big-II, they'd be in contention to win it. You have to give them credit for that.

hey 40 you got the smartest football brain on fan N. i found yet. Good job? and droopy the tigers wanted out of that game without showing V.T. their play book. Their going to show it to you on saturday night.

so you are saying that boise state deserves to be there because of their performance last year? fine, but that means that georgia should be way out of the top ten, because of their performance last year.

Bigleech, not only because of their performance last year. Because of everyone they're returning this year was on that team. Their coach has never lost a game. I may be guilty for overrating them, but I feel much better in putting Boise State in the top-10 than when I saw Michigan ranked number 5. I've been railing against that in my home paper since that came out. I've been on record many a time saying that Michigan was the most overrated team in all of football, and how I personally wouldn't rank them in the top-15 based on the facts of how they're arriving to this season.

As far as Georgia being ranked far behind... dude, they finished at 9-4, beating three straight ranked teams (all in the top-16) whom they were supposed to lose to. The should have been a top-20 team in both polls when the season ended, and were a top-25 in the AP. The coaches poll is worthless because none of those guys actually care about the ballot. They just ape the writers poll as much as they can, or try to help their coaching buddies out. Anyway, Georgia beat the No. 5 team in the nation at their home, beat the Coastal Division Champs, and then beat the supposed "best" defense in the nation in their bowl game while being led by a true freshman.

How you finish is more important than how you got there, which is why I was so incensed at Michigan being in the top-5 to begin the season. They sucked last year. They were punked and shown for what they were: the product of an insanely bad Big-ZERO Conference. How in the hell were they ranked so high after that? Did their players suddenly gain all the SPEED they were missing in 9 months? Did their coaching staff grow the BRAIN they were missing in nine months?

No. And no.

Dude, don't hate on Boise State and Georgia.

They belong. Michigan never did.

And two hours after I posted this, Stew Mandel, Georgia-hater extraordinair saw to it to place the Dawgs in the EXACT same position I did. He also so fit to rank Wisconsin, a Big-ZERO team in the top-10, but that's his dumb**** priority.

Apparently you didn't watch Tyler Donovan through all over Washington's D (a team that will do well out west this year) and had 3 backs that all had great rushing ypa.

Boise State at 10? I like them, don't get me wrong, but who'd they beat up? Someone in the WAC? Texas at 9? They played poorly and Whisky should be at 9 at the very least w/ Texas out of the top 10.

L. Smith 11 60 5.5

Also, if you're going based on last year's performance, Wisconsin = #1 defense and if it wasn't for the 2 teams per conference for BCS bids, Wisconsin would've played in a BCS matchup (and deserved it more than ND which gets to skirt that rule).

Wisconsin returns all but 5 starters from last year, finished last year with 1 loss on the entire season (with a rookie coach), and is going for its 11th straight victory this weekend (which I believe is the longest in the nation thus far).

So please, tell me, how is Georgia better?

"the Dawgs are here to stay" - Until they lose to the '****

& the BS Broncos lose to the same team that Whisky murdered the previous week.

Buh bye to Georgia & BS in your top 10 for your "Real Top 10 CF Teams after Week 2". Granted I'm writing this before the Wisconsin v UNLV game has even started but if Wisconsin loses, I'll eat crow & personally worship your wisdom.

ah sheesh, blanked out....but you know what team I'm talking about...the SC Gamekoks.

"Once again, my top-10 is based on PERFORMANCE."

After that performance against South Carolina at home, how would you rate UGA's performance? Still in the Top 10?
