The World According to Oatney

College football Top 25 for November 26th

Here are the votes I submitted in this week's IRACF college football poll:


1. Ohio State
2. USC
3. Michigan
4. Florida
5. LSU
6. Louisville
7. Wisconsin
8. Oklahoma
9. Arkansas
10. Boise State
11. Auburn
12. Notre Dame
13. Rutgers
14. Virginia Tech
15. West Virginia
16. Wake Forest
17. Tennessee
18. Texas
19. Nebraska
20. Brigham Young
21. California
22. Texas A&M
23. Georgia Tech
24. Hawaii
25. Boston College

USC's decisive victory over Notre Dame last night vaulted them to the number 2 spot and as far as the BCS is concerned, it may have taken Michigan out of the running. The Wolverines aren't totally out of the picture, though-they have one more game to wait on. USC's traditional season-ending showdown with UCLA is next weekend, and if the Bruins were to pull off the upset, Michigan could be put right back at #2-especially if Arkansas beats Florida in the SEC Championship Game next week also.

Realistically, however, I do not expect that to happen, and I believe Southern Cal is all but guaranteed to be the team that will now face Ohio State. The BCS gurus can rest easy that their system has not yet managed to produce a matchup that is wild and bizarre-but I fear the day is coming.
