The Confidential

The Confidential’s College Football Top 25 & Bottom 4: Week 10

Each week, the Confidential will provide its ranking of the top 25 teams in College Football, as well as the Bottom 4 BCS-level teams.  Here is the Week 10 version, with analysis of the top 10 and bottom 4:

1. Alabama (9-0): Alabama beat LSU to stay on top of the nation.  The Crimson Tide cannot look past surging Texas A&M though.
2. Oregon (9-0): The Ducks put up incredible offensive numbers against Monte Kiffin’s USC defense.  Who can stop Oregon?
3. Notre Dame (9-0): The Fighting Irish almost saw their undefeated season disappear against Pitt.  Notre Dame cannot look past Boston College either.
4. Kansas State (9-0):  The Wildcats got by Oklahoma State, but almost lost Heisman Candidate QB Collin Klein.  All three remaining games are against schools from Texas.
5. Ohio State (10-0).  The Buckeyes keep on rolling, with a blowout win over Illinois.  A week off before playing Wisconsin.
6. Florida State (8-1):  The Seminoles got a week off to prep for visiting Virginia Tech.  The Hokies are really struggling right now though.
7. Georgia (8-1): Georgia got a basic win over Mississippi.  The Bulldogs are supposed to win that game.
8. Florida (8-1): Florida eked by Missouri to get its 8th win of the year.  Up next is an SEC creampuff, Louisiana-Lafayette.
9. Louisville (8-0): The Cardinals really took care of Temple this week.  Up next?  A trip to the Carrier Dome to face 4-5 Syracuse.
10. Oklahoma (6-2): If there is going to be a two-loss team in the top 10, how about one that lost to two teams in the top 4?  That’s the Sooners.
11. LSU (7-2).
12. Clemson (8-1).
13. South Carolina (7-2).
14. Nebraska (7-2).
15. Oregon State (7-1).
16. Texas A&M (7-2).
17. Michigan (6-3).
18. Louisiana Tech (8-1).
19. Texas (7-2).
20. Stanford (7-2).
21. Southern California (6-3).
22. Toledo (8-1).
23. UCLA (7-2).
24. Boise State (7-2).
25. Ohio (8-1).

* * *

121.  Illinois (2-7).  The Illini keep losing.  No conference wins.  But Purdue is in the same boat and the two teams play in two weeks.  A pillow fight!

122. Boston College (2-7).  Boston College’s winning streak stopped at one, with a loss to Wake Forest.  Now they get the Fighting Irish coming off a bad game.  Uh-oh.

123. Colorado (1-8).  The Buffaloes don’t just lose, they get destroyed.  The last team to dominate them?  Stanford by 48 points.

124. Kansas (1-8).  Kansas was rolled by Baylor.  The Wildcats chances of another win are slim.

So there it is.  If you do not like it… sorry.  But feel free to share your reasons why…
