\nGuess we now can say with certainty, the SEC is grossly over-rated. This is a league of one lucky team LSU<\/b> surrounded by mediocrity. That Kentucky<\/b> loss isn’t looking so good now, eh? Mark it down, the SEC will be lucky to have one team without 2 losses by the end of the season. Conversely, Oregon<\/b>, Boston College<\/b>, Kansas<\/b>, Arizona State<\/b>, and Ohio State<\/b> are for real. There’s still alot of football to be played, no doubt. But why don’t we confine our talk of “good” teams to the ones who actually win on the field rather than coast on media bias? Buckeye opponent’s records after the 8th week, 57-49. After 6 weeks of conference play, Ohio State<\/b> and Michigan<\/b> have no losses and are in contention for the Big 10 championship. With every other team in the conference having at least two losses, the Big 10 Championship and a BCS berth will come down to November 17th Ohio State<\/b> at Michigan<\/b>. Should be a good one. Many Buckeye opponents suffered bad losses this week, the most surprising was Michigan State’s<\/b> late meltdown against Iowa<\/b> after having the game firmly in hand for 3 quarters. \nFor the first time this season, all of the undefeated teams survived, not that they weren’t tested. These are the undefeated survivors; give them credit for standing tall when others are losing games they should win: Arizona State<\/b>, Boston College<\/b>, Ohio State<\/b>, Kansas<\/b>, and Hawaii<\/b>. \nMy Special Bottom 5 rankings: (Why bottom 5? If you finish there you should be relegated to I-AA) Marshall<\/b> got a win this week and leaves the Bottom 5, for now.<\/p>\n \nIn the coming week I’ll post an Wisconsin\/OSU<\/b> preview, a game review of Wisconsin\/OSU<\/b>, and a Weekend Update Sports edition. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The cream rises to the top.
