Fine Fifteen, and some Eneffelle Picks

Another excellent day of college football. Another day of being too worn out to post anything constructive in a blog besides my opinion on college football, universally respected by everyone except pollsters.

Note: Florida looked darn good today. Like I said. LSU's quarterback play was grotesque. Like I said. Still some hope for a championship game appearance.

I completely started from scratch on these rankings, after extensive film study (half an hour of College GameDay, half an hour of Red River Shootout) and research (score checking). I also weighed my assessment of each team's talent level, something pollsters generally fail to do.

Team (Last Week's Ranking)
1. Texas (3)- Not only is Colt McCoy my new Heisman favorite, but that defense is suffocating. Any defense that can hold Oklahoma two touchdowns below par is elite.
2. Oklahoma (1)- But in the AP Poll they'll probably be in the 6-10 range. One sign of discouragement: star linebacker Ryan Reynolds is out for the season (again). But it doesn't make them five teams worse. One certain team of Nittany Lions lost their stud LB in the preseason and they're doing alright.
3. USC (6)- i don't care that they have a loss, do you really think Alabama would beat them heads up? Penn State? Maybe Penn State but I disrepectfully disagree.
4. Penn State (5)- They're fricking fast! Derrick Williams needs some hands.
5. Alabama (4)- Ehhhhhhhhhhh quarterback play.
6. Florida (8)- They found their running game AND their O-Line AND their defense. LSU was overrated anyways (not by me though!)
7. Ohio State (9)- TP's got that crazy spit. The defense is lockdown.
8. Missouri (2)- NO defense. Chase Daniel needs to lose weight. But they did get screwed on that replay.
9. LSU (7)- No need to congratulate me for calling it
10. Georgia (12)- What is this? Offense??? Against Tennessee??? Oh...Tennessee.
11. Utah (14)- I jumped them over BYU because they show real flashes of dominance on both sides, whereas BYU hasn't really put anyone away since UCLA. Then again, if you only need one bullet to kill a dude you ain't gonna waste a full clip
12. BYU (10)- Next week will be their first real barometer vs. TCU
13. Texas Tech (11)- Lookin' shakier and shakier every year, but Mike Crabtree has
14. Boise State (UNR)- Southern Miss has a legit offense, and Boise State shut them down
15. Oklahoma State (15)- No, I'm not moving them up just because they win, and no, I won't move them back down when they lose to Oklahoma. This is where I think they'll be at the end of the season.
16. Wake Forest
17. South Florida
18. Kansas
19. Virginia Tech
20. Michigan State
21. North Carolina
22. Ball State
23. Wisconsin
24. TCU
25. Oregon State

The picks:
Chicago 20, Atlanta 17
Indianapolis 28, Baltimore 7
Minnesota 17, Detroit 7
New Orleans 27, Oakland 10
NY Jets 24, Cincy 16
Carolina 20, Tampa Bay 13
Washington 28, St. Louis 21
Miami 35, Houston 14
