Smack College Football Top 11: Where Are They Now Edition

It no longer matters how many teams are in the Top 11, nor does it matter how many of those teams are undefeated. There are only three spots in the Top 11 this week and two of those three teams will play in the Status Quo Bowl for the mythical national championship.

1. Texas
Texas will secure a spot in the game with a win over Texas A&M, a team that seems to win every other game. Last week the Aggies chose to squander that win by defeating Baylor in a battle to avoid last place in Big 12.

2. Alabama/Florida
If you're going to play lame teams in late November, you have to be judged accordingly. Florida's soft defense gave up three points to Florida International while Alabama's inept offense managed only 45 points against Chatanooga. Bama ends the regular season at Auburn while the Gators end theirs hosting Florida State, assuming Bobby Bowden remembers there is a game. Then Alabama plays Florida in the SEC championship game for the right to represent the conference in the national championship. 

It's been a thrill-packed season where this scenario has been projected since, well, before the season started. Everyone else has been playing for fun.

Because the rest of the Top 11 is a moot point, we take you now to a new segment we call...

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

1. Oklahoma
This time last year, the Sooners were jumping around over a 65-21 stomping of then-No. 2 Texas Tech and eyeing a trip the conference and national championship game. 

What a difference a year makes. The only bright spot for an injury-riddled Oklahoma team this season had been the defense. That's past tense, after Texas Tech's sliced and diced the Sooner D for a 41-13 revenge win that has the Sooners sitting at 6-5 with a Bedlam game with Oklahoma State still to come. Where is the Insight Bowl, anyway?

2. Southern Cal
Another traditional powerhouse on the national picture sidelines this season. The good news? Losses to Washington and being blown out by Oregon and Stanford spared us the second coming of Tim Tebow in the form of Trojan pretty boy QB Matt Barkley.

3. Les Miles
Won a national championship by getting out of the way of Nick Saban's players. Game management of Ole Miss this weekend has Tigers fans shouting Geaux Les. Geaux away.

4. Zac Robinson
Oklahoma State's talented QB, still suffering from the after effects of a concussion, sat out Saturday's game against Colorado. He was replaced by his dad, 26-year-old Brandon Weeden.

5.Notre Dame's Charlie Weis and Michigan's Rich Rodriguez

Dear Coaches on the Hot Seat, 

Losing your last four (Weis) or five (RichRod) games of the season is a very bad idea.

Nearly sincerely,

Just kidding of course. But at least they're miserable now too.
