[olympicoscar]

Top Tier: Alabama, LSU, Oregon, Florida St
2nd Tier: Oklahoma, Georgia
3rd Tier: West Virginia, Clemson, South Carolina

Biggest Surprises: Arizona, Iowa St, Minnesota, Mississippi St, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Ohio, Oregon St, Rutgers, Stanford, UCLA.

Biggest Dissapointments: Arkansas, Auburn, Colorado, USC, Virginia Tech, Wisconsin.

Heisman Trophy: Very messy. 1. Geno Smith. Not in any order. Matt Barkley, D'Anthony Thomas, Teddy Bridgewater, Kenjon Barner, Colin Klein, Braxton Miller, AJ McCarron. This award is really wide open.

nc game. Alabama and Florida State.

Johnathan Franklin has a chance at the Heisman, especially if UCLA keeps winning (which they should). Also, im not sold on Florida State yet.

Why do people keep saying this? Sure, they haven't played top notch competition yet, but they have completely dominated (read: couldn't be more impressive) in all of their wins. It's not like WF is an FBS team and that was a bloodbath.

Not too surprised yet, these are games I had them winning. After next week we'll see if they can surprise a few..Got my fingers crossed.

It's a good list.... Lots of football still to be played tho. As for me, Bama looks good, but I really won't "feel" it until after the LSD game. If we win, I'd say we have a great chance of going to the NCG.
And just as the jury is still out for Bama I'll say the same for FSU, they have played no one with any football pedigree. This weekend will tell a lot, but it may be until the VT or even the Florida game until I'm sold on the Semiholes.
As for LSD, see the above about Bama, If the Tiggers beat Bama, they are going to the Natty.
Oregon.... Well, they have a bit of a test this weekend & we'll see how they do against USC & Stanford. Although if they face either SEC West team I don't like their chances of winning the "Natty"

WF is bad. They were playing with a makeshift offensive line and without Nikita Whitlock. I think they were missing some more defensive players too. But Wake is awful. It should have been a bloodbath. I will be impressed if their defense does good against Clemson.

He did not have a great game last week. I should also have put Dennard Robinson in there. Too good to ignore.

Florida State has yet to play anyone. This week will tell.

In the last couple of years, Minnesota has lost games to FCS teams and several MAC teams. This time they won.

Is an LSD game, a game with both teams on drugs? Anyway, I agree with that. The winner of that game has to be in the nc game.

Florida St and Oregon are playing real teams this week. So we will see. LSU has at least played Washington and wiped the floor with them.
