College Football Top 25 (Week 3) 11-15

 11. Texas Christian Horned Frogs

Last Week: Beat Texas State 56-21


Notes: TCU gets another team to test their vaunted this weekend as they line up against Clemson.  Clemson has some weapons, but a freshman QB against the TCU pass rush is not a good thing for Clemson.  The one thing that might give TCU some trouble is that they have to go to Death Valley for the game.  That said, expect TCU to get this one and keep rolling.


12. Cincinnati Bearcats

Last Week: Beat Oregon St. 28-18


Notes: The Oregon State win was nice win with the Bearcats playing from ahead for the majority of the game.  The real test comes with their game against Fresno.  The Bulldogs are as athletic as they come on defense and Ryan Matthews is as explosive as any Running Back in the country.  Coming off 2 close losses, they are going to fired up.  It's a horrid trap game for the Bearcats.


13. Florida State Seminoles

Last Week: Beat BYU 54-28


Notes: The Seminoles showed a taste of what we used to see.  A fast, dynamic defense with an opportunistic offense.  They took a top 10 team to the woodshed and really put a lot of weight to that opening week heavyweight fight between the Noles and Canes.  They have work to do, but they are on the way back.


14. USC Trojans

Last Week: Lost to Washington 10-13


Notes: USC is still what they were when they beat Ohio State.  They will be when Barkley is back, or maybe even if Mustain starts.  Corp is a talented kid, but he wasn't ready.  Kudos to the Huskies and coach Sark.  He has them rolling, but expect the Trojans to come down hard on the next few teams. 
 

15. Ohio State Buckeyes

Last Week: Beat Toledo 38-0


Notes: The USC loss was a tough loss, but the Buckeyes didn't lose any pride.  They played tough, and hung strong.  And then, they came back and crushed the poor Toledo squad who was in their sights.  The Illini are up next to start the Big 10 season for the Buckeyes.  They will only get better from here as their young players gain experience.  They are going to have fun chasing down the Nittany Lions.
