My Favorite Blank

The college football world got shook up this past weekend and many teams in the top 25 lost this past weekend. However, they didn’t rank the teams properly and once again I have to go back and correct their mistakes. I still can’t believe USC is ranked ahead of the Georgia Bulldogs and this continues to make no sense. Why have a two win team with 1 loss to a unranked team over a team with 4 wins and 1 loss to a team that was ranked 8th overall in the country? The system in college football has been broken since week 2 and they continue to give USC too much favoritism for a team that won’t be able to prove their self against any real competition this year. The Georgia Bulldogs have the toughest schedule in the country this year and now they are getting ranked lower than they should, because teams like USC have no games to help spring board them ahead of the pack. Other teams must prove their worth in college football every year; while USC gets a free ride.

Recruits need to leave USC out of the picture and they are the most over-hyped team in all of sports today. USC will face suspensions in the future due to their recruiting practices and the Reggie Bush situation is far from over in the college ranks. If you have USC on your list of schools to visit; then just cross them off and your better off choosing a school that will get to compete in the bowl games of college football.

Now that I have stated my points on the USC program and how they are the biggest thorn to the college football system right now; I will move on to my rankings. This is the real ranks of college football after the first 5 Saturdays of the season:

1. Oklahoma

2. Alabama

3. LSU

4. Texas

5. Missouri

6. Georgia

7. BYU

8. Texas Tech

9. Penn State

10. South Florida

11. Utah

12. Florida

13. Auburn

14. Kansas

15. Wisconsin

16. Vanderbilt

17. Virginia Tech

18. Oklahoma State

19. USC

20. Wake Forrest

21. Georgia Tech

22. Oregon

23. Boise State

24. Maryland

25. Michigan State

These Real Ranks serve a much more service to the current state of college football; than the AP or USA Today Polls do. It’s bad that college football continues to over rank teams and allow teams in weak divisions as high as they do on the list. Ohio State is not a top 25 team and they have been ranked in the top 25 all year and even spent 2 weeks in the top 5 of the country. Let’s put the teams in real order and we can do a much better job at the end of the year; pairing these teams up to play in competitive bowl games. The current polls would create many blowouts if we took the top 24 teams in their lists right now and put 1 and 2 together, 3 and 4 together, etc…

Let’s stand up and fix college football!
