MMSF Top 10 Week Five

Every Monday here on the Blog we unveil our Top 10 in college football. These rankings are based on this week only, it is not a prediction for how we feel the season will end. Click here to see the latest Top 25 Associated Press and Coaches Polls.

1. Alabama 5-0 (1) - The Tide rolled the Gators and will now cruise through the rest of the SEC (that includes the SEC title game). Anyone who Bama isn't the best team in the nation is an idiot.
2. Oregon 5-0 (5) - That's right I went here. Oregon has put up at least 45 points in every game (56.6 ppg - tops in the country) and the Ducks just became Boise State's worst enemy. QB Darron Thomas and RB LaMichael James may be 1 and 1A in the Heisman race right now (maybe not in that order).
3. Ohio State 5-0 (2) - Dropping the Buckeyes to #3 is a reflection on how good Oregon is, not anything against OSU. Terrelle Pryor needs to be healthy if Ohio State wants to get back to a BCS title game. Pryor says he is good to go against Indiana.
4. Boise State 4-0 (3) - The list for teams the Broncos need to jump to make the title game just got longer, but as long as they keep winning no one else will leap Boise State.
5. Oklahoma 5-0 (10) - If you have tracked my rankings of the Sooners you know I hate this team. However, HOWEVA, I've got to give them respect for beating Florida State, Cincinnati, and Texas in the first five weeks.
6. Nebraska 4-0 (7) - The Cornhuskers are in the upper tier in rushing and points scored in the nation, along with being seventh in points allowed. Sounds good, right? With Freshmen quarterback Taylor Martinez Nebraska is 110th in passing yards. Who's the best team in the Big 12?
7. TCU 5-0 (4) - The Horned Frogs may be the newest Big East member (hopefully not) and they are certainly a top team, but they just don't play tough enough competition.
8. Auburn 5-0 (9) - QB Cam Newton may be the biggest impact junior college trasnfer in SEC history! I still have questions about this Tigers team, as their biggest wins have all come at home and in ugly fashion.
9. Arizona 4-0 (NR) - Very much like last year, there are about four or five elite teams and then a number of interchangeable teams. The Wildcats are interchangeable.
10. Arkansas 3-1 (NR) - Anyone else notice that Washington QB Jake Locker owned USC on Saturday? Probably not as the Huskies are off the national radar and so it Locker. The same goes for Razorback QB Ryan Mallett after their loss to 'Bama. Don't count Mallett out yet though, he and his Hogs still will make a lot of noise this season.
