Week 8 college football poll

CC's Top 15

Why 15? Because that's all that's necessary. These are all of the teams with true BCS importance.

The top 7 are fairly interchangeable. For the most part, all have beaten a big name or highly ranked team, and all have done it on the road. All have beefed up against lesser opponents. If Florida wasn't the defending champ, the Bearcats would be No.1.

1. Florida - I hate them, but defending champs stay No. 1 until they lose. Fair is fair.
2. Cincinnati - No HUGE wins, but lots of quality road wins. Dominated with No. 2 QB.
3. TCU - Quality road wins, including this latest pasting of BYU. Top mid-major thus far.
4. Alabama - Beat Va. Tech, have big time D, but dominance has faded. Nearly lost this week.
5. Iowa - Beat PSU at Happy Valley. Wins ugly Big Ten games. Great D. Love them.
6. Texas- Only big win versus Oklahoma—minus Bradford.
7. Boise St. - Beat Oregon when Oregon stunk and then beat a variety of patsies.

The one-loss teams are confusing. They've all looked impressive for stretches, but their losses were all epic failures for one reason or another. Some of them are playing better than some unbeatens right now (For example, pretty sure USC would beat six of the seven teams listed above.). But, college football demands perfection. If you lose, you no longer determine your destiny.

8. USC - Typical season. F this team.
9. Georgia Tech - One of the most fun teams to watch. Best team in ACC.
10. Oregon - After the Week 1 disaster, they are rolling. Some decent PAC 10 wins, if that exists.
11. Oklahoma State - Only loss is to a sneaky Houston team.
12. LSU - Haven't really proved anything yet.
13. Penn St. - Ditto.
14. Pittsburgh- Have beat nobody, but they have a great QB. Looked great lately.
15. Houston- Once you start putting teams like Houston on here. It's time to end the list.

Go Buckeyes, Go Browns.
