1. Alabama
You know, thinks Nick Saban, Tuscaloosa's not that bad. I could live here. Maybe settle down. Raise a family.
2. Miami
Look for the Hurricane to top next week's Smack Pack after they beat Virginia Tech this week. Oklahoma's on deck.
3. Texas
Colt McCoy, the QB Formerly Known as Heisman Favorite, and his Longhorns were slightly less boring in a 34-24 win over Texas Tech.
4. Michigan
It's official: Tate Forcier saved RichRod's job.
5. TCU
Mountain West hopes for screwing up the national championship game now rests on the Horned Toads.
6. Notre Dame
Sure ... this spot could go to more-deserving teams such as Penn State or LSU. But Brick doesn't really like Joe Paterno or Les Miles. Unless Charlie Weis eats an opposing player, Notre Dame stays.
7. Ole Miss
Has anyone seen Ole Miss play? I hear they're good.
8. Oklahoma
Okay, Parrotheads ... sing along: "I wish I had a pencil-thin mustache, the Landry Jones kind. A two-toned Ricky Ricardo jacket and an autographed picture of Andy Devine ... Yeah, they send you off to college, try to gain a little knowledge, but all you want to do is learn how to score." Landry Jones tosses a school-record six TDs against a decent Tulsa team. Best reason to love college football? OU students sporting fake mustaches and wearing "Fear the Stache" T-shirts in support of their mustachioed QB.
9. Cal
Brick can't get too fired up about a win over Minnesota.
10. Florida
The wheels came off in Gainesville this week. You could tell because Tim Tebow took his helmet off so that we could all see the concern on his face as he screamed at his teammates. Meanwhile, Lane Kiffin shows up with the nation's worst QB and an offensive strategy that Jim Tressel would find too conservative and leaves with a mere 10-point loss.
11. Houston
Sorry. I can't be bothered with idle teams.
Down and Out
BYU
