The Dirty Dozen and Bottom of the Barrel...Week 2

Week 2 has ended and it is on to week number 3. We didn't get to see a lot of upsets in week 2, but we did see reality start to set back in. Now the season really starts, Florida plays and actual Division 1 team and everyone else gets practice games like they did.

In honor of what we are pretty sure Florida is going to do to Tennessee, check out this clip from the You Tube:

We can only imagine Urban Meyer having that order carried out on Lane Kiffin this week. Now...on with the countdown.

The Dirty Dozen:

1. Florida (2-0). This isn't really fair since they haven't actually played a football team in the Top 90 yet. It's been like watching Varsity vs. JV. That is supposed to change this week and it would if they weren't looking to embarrass the fighting Kiffin's (This week: Florida 112, Tennessee 7)

2. Texas (2-0). Colt McCoy is leading the charge for the 12...mostly because there is nobody else left...that is healthy. They took care of business last week and only ESPN thinks this weeks game should be a big deal...we know how that works. (This Week: Texas 51, Texas Tech 23)

3. Alabama (2-0). They actually struggled with the Fighting Christobal's for a half before reality set in. They are currently on the Florida practice game track, so they will win going away...again. (This Week: Alabama 38, North Texas 6)

4. Penn State (2-0). The Joe Pa's had little trouble with Syracuse as expected. They drift out of conference for a week, but it's not a biggie...it's not North Texas...or Charleston Southern either (you listening Florida?). (This week: Penn State 37, Temple of Doom 10)

5. BYU (2-0). Already they are the pollsters darlings...for now. I like this team, but they aren't better than the teams ahead of them in this poll. This coming up week should be fun. Strangely, the pollsters will make more out of this than those of us who know football, their opponent ain't so good. (This week: BYU 31, Florida St. 27)

6. Boise State (2-0). There toughest game is done, though this week won't be a pushover and it's not on that godawful turf that looks bizarre with Boise's jerseys. (This Week: Boise St. 20, Fresno St. 17)

7. Ole Miss (1-0). The off-week couldn't have come at a better time for team Swine Flu. Thankfully for them they don't have to be 100% to win the game ahead (Ole Miss 28, SE La. 3)

8. LSU (2-0). Nice win in bad weather vs. a tough Vanderbilt team. I still like this squad and they are right now flying nice and low. The fun part of the game this week is seeing my wife's conflicted rooting interest. (LSU 37, La.-Lafayette 13)

9. Ohio State (1-1). Told you so! I still hate putting them here...but I will stick with them as a good team for another week. They did play USC very close...so they've got that going for them. (This Week: Ohio St. 27, Toledo 26)

10. California (2-0). They will fade...they always do. But they are one of the best teams in the country every year for 2-6 weeks. Jahvid Best really is a good ballplayer, that helps, but they are still Cal...so the fade will follow. (This Week: California 37, Minnesota 31)

11. Georgia Tech (2-0). Repeat after me; "THIS IS A GOOD TEAM". Trust me when I say that nobody wants to play them. They are very...very good as surprising as it is to some they are a really tough match up. (This Week: Ga. Tech 27, Miami 19)

12. Oklahoma (1-1). Some redemption last week, though it shouldn't really count because it was the Idaho State Potatoes. They have proven that there may be life with out Sam Bradford...for now. (This Week: Oklahoma 41, Tulsa 31)

The Bottom of the Barrel:

5. Ball State (0-2). I said "Ball State". They lost to New Hampshire last week. Not good if you are supposed to be a Division 1 team. (This week: Army 26, Ball St. 12)

4. Rice a Roni (0-2). Not good, even if you are the "San Francisco Treat" or a really bad team that plays football in Texas. (This week: Okie State 120, Rice 6 Noodles)

3. Colorado (0-2). Wouldn't want to be Dan Hawkins right now, his team ain't off to a good start. Losses to Col. State and Toledo to start the year. I believe if you look on Career Builder you might find an application for this job. (This Week: Wyoming 20, Colorado 19)

2. Virginia (0-2) I wonder if Dan Hawkins and Al Groh are friends. Maybe they can look for a job together? This is a bad team in a "REALLY" bad conference (hear me Wilkie!). (This week: Southern Mississippi 24, Virginia 17= Al Groh unemployed)

1. Washington State (0-2). This may become permanent before long. I guess crappy football is acceptable up in the Great Northwest because they've sucked for 2+ years now. No sign of that changing (This Week: (SMU 4, Wash St. 0-I'm so conflicted...2 of my favorite crappy teams...)

Last Week: 11-3...straight up...not a bad way to start!
