SB Nation BlogPoll College Football Top 25 Rankings "
Next Five:
26) Clemson
27) NC State
28) San Diego State
29) Hawaii
30) Pittsburgh
See my Big 12 Rankings as well as some notes about my ballot after the jump...
Big 12 Rankings:
1) Missouri
2) Oklahoma
3) Nebraska
4) Oklahoma State
5) Baylor
6) Texas
7) Kansas State
8) Texas Tech
9) Texas A&M
10) Iowa State
11) Colorado
12) Kansas
Notes On The Rankings:
- As soon as I moved Oklahoma up to first, they lose to Missouri. Blast. Oregon gets the call over Auburn for now, but they are really 1a and 1b in my mind. I'll pick a true #1 this weekend after Oregon plays USC this weekend, they're first tough game of the season.
- For now, I think the Sooners are the second best one-loss team. I watched the Missouri game over again and other than the fact that OU got absolutely zero pressure on Blaine Gabbert, I am still very surprised that the Tigers one that game. The Sooners blew a lot of opportunities.
- As boring as some national writers are making it out to be, I actually feel like a Missouri - Michigan State game would be a great match up. Two very solid, well built teams. That being said, they are both over ranked and will each finish with at least one loss.
- Big 12: How shocking was the Texas - Iowa State game? Certainly makes our match-up with the Cyclones seem a little bit tougher doesn't it. At least, we aren't the only team with quarterback issues. Texas A&M is now considering starting Ryan Tannehill over the preseason Big 12 player of the year. Has to be disappointing for the Aggies.

I don't much care for rankings in general
But do you really think TCU is that much better than Utah? What do you peg the line at if the game was played right now? Based on your rankings, I’d guess 7.5ish, give or take 3 for home field (which I’m too lazy to look up). Does that seem right? And yes, that’s how I see top 25 polls. As potential betting lines

If the game was in Fort Worth on Saturday
I think the line would be somewhere between 4-6. All we really have to go on is the Utes speaking by a very average Pitt team at home and a win over an ISU team that is apparently pretty up and down. TCU has dominated some really good teams (OSU, Baylor and Air Force) and their defense is playing pretty ridiculous. If Utah is better, they will prove it over the next five games.
Honestly, I’d bet you would be hard pressed to find any team in the country with a tougher closing slate than the Utes: @ Air Force, TCU, @ Notre Dame, @ San Diego State, BYU (luckily they suck this year, but it’s still a rivalry game)

fair enough, although I don't see what their future schedule has to do with how their ranked now.
Actually, I think I’d take TCU as anything under a TD favorite at home.

It doesn't
Thats why I have Utah ranked so much lower. Im saying that they will move up pretty significantly if they win over the next few weeks

What nonsense
You can’t believe that Missouri beat Oklahoma, but OU missed a lot of opportunities. And you actually watched the game over again?!?! You’re just as bad as Kirk Herb. Did you happen to notice: Missouri fumbling the ball twice on their own side of the field; Missouri giving up a 85 yard kickoff return; Missouri getting a Gabbert touchdown run called back for holding and having to settle for a field goal; Missouri having a third down at the half-yard line and having to settle for a field goal; and Missouri’s horrible string of defensive holding penalties. What’s crazy is that if both teams had played mistake free Missouri still would have won.
New guys a little sensitive?
Not getting the credit you feel like you so rightfully deserve?
I’m not taking anything away from Missouri, they played a great game and Gabbert is one hell of a quarterback. Fact is, if DeMarco doesn’t slip, and he gets into the end zone (which he would have) then it’s 14-7 and OU wins that game. Yea, there were holding calls on both teams. I never said that I “couldn’t believe that Missouri beat Oklahoma”, I said that I was surprised and I still am because they are a very good team and outside of the defensive line they played pretty well.
What’s crazy is that if both teams had played mistake free Missouri still would have won.
If your squad is as good as you think they are, take care of business this Saturday and you’ll get a chance to prove it in Dallas later this season. Blow it, and I guess we’ll never know…

Tisk... tisk...
Will I ever be able to sign on and see that my beloved Buffs have cracked the top 25? Ever?
Buffs will crack the top 25 with a new coach
I think we all know that there’s some talent on the Buffs. We have a defense that’s often left out on the field for far too long combined with an offense that forgets to run the ball (something they do best)
With these players, under a new coach next season, I think this team will be pretty good.

There have certainly been faster turnarounds under new coaches...
So I agree.
Baylor, Stanford, Mississippi State and to a lesser degree Louisville and Syracuse. None of those programs had the talent on campus that we do now.

I think the primary reason for the McCartney rumors
is Bohn was bit by going for “the next thing” by getting Hawkins. The CU program needs stability and CU GUYS running the show. Hawkins, unfortunately for him, knows nothing of the tradition and what it means to be a Buff.
We need CU guys here.

Question is: will we hire the right coach this time?
I swear if we fire Hawkins and replace him with the assistant waterboy for the linebackers coach at Boulder High School, I’m going to set myself on fire, in protest, out on Mike Bohn’s lawn.
