CFB Top 25: Regular Season Final!

As I’ve mentioned previously, my true FINAL Top 25 will come after the bowls are completed. Between now & then, I’m going to look over the entire season & make sure that I am able to make any kinds of adjustments to my rankings that I should, so that I know that I have the best rankings possible! It’s easy to forget games & miss things that should be included in your rankings. But, until then, this is my final regular season rankings!

1. Oklahoma
2. Florida
3. Texas
4. Alabama
5. Boise State
6. Utah
7. USC
8. Penn State
9. Texas Tech
10. Ohio State
11. Oklahoma State
12. Cincinnati
13. TCU
14. Oregon
15. Georgia
16. Virginia Tech
17. Georgia Tech
18. BYU
19. Mississippi
20. Michigan State
21. Ball State
22. Boston College
23. Nebraska
24. Arizona
25. Oregon State

Also considered: Missouri, Western Michigan, Northwestern.

 

Yes, Missouri fell out of my Top 25! You might think “but wait, they’re still a really good football team”! Then, why haven’t they played like it? They don’t have a single signature win. Even Oregon State, who is ranked 25th by me has a signature win over USC. Also, unlike Georgia, they really have no excuse for NOT winning a game against a ranked team.  Georgia has a couple: The SEC wasn’t at it’s best this year & injuries.

Ball State took a nose dive down to the 21st spot.. That game against Buffalo was a disaster! Ball State cracked under the pressure, or at least Nate Davis did.

Cincinnati nearly got stunned by Hawaii, I tell ya. But hey, the homefield advantage for Hawaii is probably the best homfield advantage in the nation, that’s something that you have to realize. Hawaii puts the voodoo on teams down there on the island!

CFB Top 25: Let me be the human tiebreaker!!!

Yeah.. If some of you are still confused as to who the Big 12 South champs should be, allow me to help you out.

I noticed in some of the human polls out there that Texas jumped Oklahoma & Florida.. Simply amazing!

Texas routes a non-ranked, not even close to ranked, losing team & Oklahoma defeats a Top 15 school & BAM! Texas jumps them! I think the voters who caused that to happen have lost their minds! If you ranked Oklahoma ahead of Texas last week, you should also rank Oklahoma ahead of Texas this week, which leads me to what you all are waiting for………. My Top 25, ofcourse:

1. Alabama
2. Oklahoma
3. Texas
4. Florida
5. Boise State
6. Utah
7. USC
8. Penn State
9. Ball State
10. Texas Tech
11. Ohio State
12. Cincinnati
13. Oklahoma State
14. TCU
15. Boston College
16. Oregon
17. Georgia
18. Georgia Tech
19. BYU
20. Missouri
21. Mississippi
22. Michigan State
23. Virginia Tech
24. Nebraska
25. Oregon State

Didn’t consider anyone else.

Now, I’m going to address just a few other things here:

The first of which is about the spot in the BCS Bowl games that is now left open with Oregon State getting thumped by Oregon @ home, thus making USC an automatic bid into the Rose Bowl as PAC-10 Champs. The spot should go to the Boise State Broncos. It won’t happen, but, it should. In the Official BCS Standings, Boise State is ranked AHEAD of Ohio State, not to mention that Boise State is undefeated & Ohio State has 2 losses.

I understand that Boise State is only ONE spot ahead of Ohio State, but, isn’t #2 just one spot ahead of #3? This is the system that decides who plays for the National Title. There should NEVER be a time when they throw their own system aside & basically call it crap themselves. That’s what they’ll be doing if they do not choose Boise State to play in a BCS Bowl.

I know WHY they really won’t choose Boise State, too. It’s all about the money! You know what, though? I have a solution to their problem & I’ll explain it right here:

Let them play if their ranked high enough a good many times. If I’m not mistaking, Boise State gained a good many fans by beating Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. What if it happens again? They’ll pick up more fans & then if they got into another future BCS Bowl game, guess what? More people will watch on TV, more people will be excited to go to the game. It’s called developing a team.

Now, suppose it goes the other way & they let them play & Boise gets crushed consistently. I have a solution to that, as well. If that were to happen, their BCS Standings are INFACT crap & they need to adjust them so Boise State won’t be sitting at #9 for what they do. Either Boise State is the 9th best team in the nation this year or they’re not & they should be ranked much lower OR they’re better than #9 as I have them!

All I’m asking is that the BCS believe in their own rankings that they use to decide who goes to the National Championship game. How can anyone be comfortable with a system that the BCS themselves just throw out the window when they choose to? If they want to end talks of having a playoff, prove to us that YOU, YOURSELVES, THE BCS, believe your own standings that you produce. Otherwise, PLEASE revise them so that we don’t have a #9 team at the end of the season that has NO SHOT at even making a BCS Bowl & EVERYONE knows it.

Finally, when I say below my rankings that I did not consider anyone else, it doesn’t mean that I don’t think there are some teams to look at below those Top 25.. One team that I am really looking hard at is Western Michigan. I watched them play Ball State & this team is up & coming, guys. I really like what I see from them. What is it with me & these non-BCS teams??!?! Oddly enough, they’re Broncos too! Boy, I’d love to see them play Boise State! I’d also like to see Boise State vs. Ball State, they’re trying to actually make that one happen! What a game that would be! It really would be some kind of exciting! So yeah, don’t be surprised if you see Western Michigan climb into my Top 25 if they win their bowl game, I see some good things in this team.
