Top 10 Week 9 | The Writing on the Wall

1. Ohio State

Lower: After dominating Penn State in Happy Valley, it is hard to find a reason to put the Buckeyes any lower.

2. Oklahoma

Higher: They have good wins over Texas and Mizzou but I can't see why they would be over the Buckeyes.

Lower: They are yet to have a good road performance and have not played to their potential on many occasions.

3. West Virginia

Higher: The Mountaineers beat Rutgers down by 28 @Rutgers.

Lower: Only win against a currently ranked team is...well...there are none. The only currenty ranked team they have played is South Florida, whom they lost to...

4. Boston College

Higher: They are undefeated, beat a top ten team on the road, and prove they could come back in a hostile environment; need I say more?

Lower: They waited till the fourth quarter to play and if they do that against a top 5 team, they aren't going to prevail.

5. Missouri

Higher: The Tigers brought their C or B game and still beat Iowa State down pretty good. Only loss is @Oklahoma which is probably one of the best losses anyone can have.

Lower: Mizzou lost one of their best players for the year in Pig Brown, redshirt senior safety. This could really hurt the Tiger's D but we will see how they fare @ Colorado.

6. LSU

Higher: 4 wins against ranked teams, and a dominating performance against Va Tech earlier in the year.

Lower: Loss to Kentucky is looking a lot worse as they got dominated by Mississippi State this weekend.

7. Oregon

Higher: Have good wins @ Michigan and vs. USC and have a chance to really prove themselves against Arizona State this week.

Lower: Lost to Cal which isn't looking so good now.....

8. Arizona State

Higher: They are undefeated which has to count for something in this crazy season. They came from behind this week against Cal, and can assert themselves if they win in Oregon.

Lower: Biggest win is against Cal who is starting to fall apart.

9. Kansas

Higher: They are undefeated and just beat Texas A&M in College Station, which the Hawks had never done before yesterday.

Lower: The Aggies are poorly coached and are decent at best so it's not something to get too excited about.

10. Georgia

Higher: Got a huge win over Florida and showed off Knowshon Moreno on national TV, a very talented back, future Heisman contender???

Lower: Have two losses to South Carolina and Tennessee, which aren't the best losses in the world...

On the verge: Hawaii

Interesting although I wouldn't fault Oregon for a loss to Cal ..Cal was in top 5 at the time and still a pretty good team. They are only 1 or 2 plays away from an undefeated season. OF course OU can say the same

Sooner in WA-…

I put them at 5 because their only loss is @OU which is nearly impossible to win at and otherwise have, for the most part, dominated teams but the toughest part of the schedule is coming up. Hopefully we can avoid the bad last half of the conference season that we have had in past seasons and win out the rest of the season...

I see your point sooner, but a loss is a loss and Cal has two...and Oklahoma should be undefeated, they just laid down and died against CU but are still having a great season...
