This week there will be a change in the college football world as the two best teams will go head to head this week in Bryant-Denny Stadium in Alabama. After this week we will know who is the real number one team in the country.
1.LSU is the best team in the country though this weekend will be the game of the season other than the national title game. They travel to Alabama to play the Crimson Tide in SEC play.
2.Alabama is the second best team in the country but will face the top rated Tigers of LSU. They should have a better chance playing at home but they will still probably lose this weekend if LSU can force them to throw.
3.Oklahoma State is in a good position right now to be in the hunt for the title, as long as they control their own destiny. Alabama or LSU will lose this weekend which will leap frog Oklahoma State to number two as long as they win this weekend at home against a surprisingly good Kansas State team.
4.Stanford should be in good shape this weekend as the travel to Oregon State to play the 2-6 Beavers. After losing the Rodgers brothers last year Oregon State hasn't had anything this season and it should be a cake walk for number 4 Stanford.
5.Oklahoma even with its one loss is much better than Boise State. Oklahoma had a bad week against Texas Tech but they wont slip up again this season. I have them at the number five spot for this week.
6.Arkansas should be getting more credit as a 7-1 team since its only loss is to a powerhouse Alabama team. Arkansas should get a good bowl game this season if they can stay a one loss team in the SEC.
7.Boise State is a top ten team even though they have possibly the easiest schedule in the entire nation in Division One football. You have to respect them for going undefeated but if they play teams that are this bad they don't deserve a big bowl game.
8.Oregon will face the Washington Huskies this weekend and I could even see an upset, but Oregon is still a great team though its not even the best team in the PAC 12 since Stanford certainly is better but Oregon is a team that you wouldn't want to sleep on. How could you though, with those awesome Nike uniforms.
9.Nebraska shocked me this weekend beating Michigan State 24-3 behind a strong running game and shut down defense against the Spartans at home. Nebraska is a great team but they wont stay unbeaten much longer. they will lose against Penn State in Beaver Stadium this season so they will finish as a two loss team.
10. South Carolina surprised me last week that they are still holding up after losing Marcus Lattimore for the season. He had already rushed for 818 yards before going down with an injury that will sideline him for the rest of this year. He ran for nearly 1200 yards last year but they were able to win their game even though they had to deal with the loss of quarterback Stephen Garcia for off the field issues but Sophomore quarterback Connor Shaw has really stepped up to the task and has been better than Garcia was so it was almost a blessing in disguise.
