College Football Top 25 (Week 3) 6-10

6. California Golden Bears

Last Week: Beat Minnesota 35-21


Notes: The Bears survived a tough scare on the road from a Minnesota Gopher team who refused to quite.  When it came down to crunch time though, Jahvid Best and the Bear O-line stood and refused to give.  Best might just live up to his name at this rate. 


7. Boise State Broncos

Last Week: Beat Fresno State 51-34


Notes: Boise just passed a huge test.  Fresno's record does not reflect it, but this is a very good football team.  If they had a stronger threat at the QB position, they may be 3-0 and chasing a BCS bid.  As it is, they gave the Broncos the chance to prove, once again, that they are not a tricky, scheme team anymore.  They are as good as nearly anyone in the country athletically and have one of the top coaching staffs around to take advantage.  This team is for real folks, and will be for awhile.

8. LSU Tigers

Last Week: Beat Lousiana Lafayette 31-3


Notes: The story hasn't changed for the Bayou Bengals.  Suffocating defense, offense does what it needs to.  They haven't been pushed yet, so we don't really know what they are yet.  Then again, Washington beat USC and LSU had them on their backs the whole game so maybe.....just maybe they can scare the Gators.....nah.


9. Miami Hurricanes

Last Week: Beat Ga. Tech 33-17


Notes: Miami's athletes just outclassed the Yellowjackets.  It was obviously early that they were faster, and obvious late they were deeper and better conditioned.  The Canes are good again, there is no doubt, but the schedule is not easing up.  Va. Tech is likely a showdown for the ACC title and OU follows that.  Scary thing is, the Canes could easily take them both.
 

10. Oklahoma Sooners

Last Week: Beat Tulsa 45-0


Notes: OU looked like OU again as they dominated the Golden Hurricane.  They got a team record 6 td's from their young QB, giving them hope that he can keep the house standing while they weather the storm of Bradford's injury.  They have a week to heal up and prepare for Miami on the road, and they better make the most of that time.  Their defense needs to be ready and their O-Line had better get ready too because they are going to need a balanced offense to beat the Canes.  That game might just be a fun one.
