1. Alabama – Beat Florida International handily but with North Texas coming up, the top spot may be in jeopardy. Need to drop 50-60 on the Mean Green to stay on top.
2. USC – In the words of Keith Jackson…”Whoa Nelly”. Escaped from the “Horse Shoe” with a W but struggled to get it. McKnight, Barkley impressive, offensive line manhandled until final drive.
3. Texas – Took care of business against Wyoming. Should solidify spot with win over Texas Tech this Saturday.
4. Florida – Yeah Urban, we know. You dropped 56 on a team you should have dropped 56 on. How about playing a top 20 team before October?
5. Ole Miss – Idle
6. BYU – Went down to the bayou and dropped 54 on Tulane. Lee Aguirre (South El Monte) gets some playing time and a tackle. Get some home cooking and Florida State this Saturday. Might be hard to move up with FSU’s 0-2 record.
7. Cal – Back to back 50+ point games have the Golden Bears turning some heads. No one will get whiplash however as the last one was against Eastern Washington.
8. Penn St.- Not overly impressive with a 28-7 win over Syracuse in Happy Valley. Need to thoroughly drub weaker opponents to have any chance of moving up.
9. Ohio St. – Tough to move them out of the top ten after a decent showing against USC.
10. Cincy.- Annihilated Southwest Missouri State 70-3. Now that’s how you take care of business against an inferior opponent. Armon Binns (Pasadena) four catches for 77-yards. Get another test this Saturday against Oregon State. Bearcats may be on the move!
Plus others in the top 25 recognized for local talent:
Oregon State- Cruised down to UNLV for the weekend and came away with a 23-21 win. Lance Mitchell (Muir) picks up and interception and three more tackles.
