Lucky 13, Week 9

1. Texas - If they can win next week in Lubbock they will have just finished the most impressive streak of tough games I think I've ever seen!
2. Penn St - They proved me wrong! That was a huge win for them, and they seem like the team with the best chance now to go 12-0.
3. Florida - They just beat a UK team by 58, that only lost to 'Bama by 3...it took them 7 weeks, but they are looking like the team I started the season of at #1.
4. Oklahoma - 55 points in a half! Geez...and TX beat these guys! They still will give the Longhorns all they can handle in the Big-12 championship game.
5. Ok St - You can't fall too far back after playing toe-to-toe with the unanimous #1 in the country. Amazingly balanced on offense and very skilled and physical on D.
6. 'Bama - Good road win, but this team is still too inconsistent to like a lot. They'll lose to UF and end up around 6-10 after that game.
7. Georgia - They looked really good against LSU, but most O's have looked good against LSU's porous defense. They get Florida at home and could a big win would really make people forget their debacle against 'Bama earlier this year.
8. USC - I know I have them low, but they have not shown ON THE FIELD that they belong any higher. Whomping on WSU looks pretty bad when you lose to Oregon State, and barely beat UofA
9. TCU - This game was just as telling on how bad WY is, but if their O can score a few points TCU could beat almost anyone given their fast, stingy, physical D.
10. Utah - Gotta stick to my rule...you can't move on a bye week. They cannot overlook a good UNM team on the road as they prepare for the biggest game of the year so far for them against TCU next week.
11. TT - Ok...I'm convinced. Their offense is unstoppable. They still haven't played against a great D, but man, these guys are like the Suns of CF! I still think they'll lose at least 2 of their next 3.
12. Ohio St - Disappointing loss, but this team is good and will be for awhile. Let Pryor get a year's experience and they'll be in the NC talk while he is there.
13. Missouri - Really any team from Mizzou to NC could go here. It's hard to distuingish them all at this point. But the Tigers had the best win on Saturday so they make the cut. (It's actually been bad luck to be here at #13, the team here usually ends up losing.)
