Week 7 Rankings

October 18, 2009

Despite my fever, I was able to watch all the games today. Today was a great day in terms of matchups and down to the wire games.

Texas barely got by Oklahoma, Florida needed a last second field goal to beat Arkansas and USC was one second away from nearly being upset by Notre Dame.
We also saw two more top ten teams fall today in No. 4 Virginia Tech and No. 7 Ohio State.

The AP Poll and such will be posted in this tomorrow.
More importantly, the first BCS rankings are coming out.
Footnote: Last year's BCS Standings were released after Texas beat Oklahoma in which Texas jumped Alabama and went from No. 5 to No. 1.

Anyway, through watching 83 live games this year, here's my Top 25.
And I've finally moved Florida out of the number one spot. It won't be like that in the actual polls, but hey my rankings are the way it really should be in an unbiased way.
