New AP poll just came in and the mighty men of Troy are still at the top. My quick take:

Ranking (1st place) / record / votes

1. USC (33) 1-0 1,577
When you smash a BCS team that goes 9-4 the year before you deserve the top spot

2. Georgia (23) 2-0 1,525
I can’t stand Georgia (went to Georgia Tech) but I think superman has a black #24 jersey

3. Oklahoma (2) 2-0 1,458
4. Florida (4) 2-0 1,438
They got alot of homefield love against Miami but I think they may be the best team in the SEC when it is all over
5. Ohio State (1) 2-0 1,347
This will be the last single digit ranking they see all year…USC 34 OSU 14

6. Missouri (1) 2-0 1,336
7. LSU (1) 1-0 1,231
8. Texas 2-0 1,100
9. Auburn 2-0 1,067
10. Wisconsin 2-0 910
11. Alabama 2-0 865
Ingram is a beast!
12. Texas Tech 2-0 845
13. Kansas 2-0 825
14. East Carolina 2-0 762
They are just showing that rankings mean nothing. They were by far the better team against WVU
15. Arizona State 2-0 744
16. Oregon 2-0 616
17. Penn State 2-0 607
18. Brigham Young 2-0 537
The Mormans are coming, The Mormans are coming
19. South Florida 2-0 493
Very good game against UCF…both programs are really growing and building a fan base
20. Wake Forest 2-0 404
21. Fresno State 1-0 290
22. Utah 2-0 258
The Mormans are coming, The Mormans are coming
23. California 2-0 195
24. Illinois 1-1 164
When I think of Juice Williams I think of someone with a s-curl or hawaiian silky…just sayin’
25. West Virginia 1-1 163
You all just got knocked the ______ out

I just got done watching UCLA take on Tennessee and win the game in overtime. I have to say that the game was everything you could have asked for…well at least the second half. Both of the teams have stout defenses and produced a touchdown by the D/Special Teams (TN - INT to the house, UCLA - blocked punt).

I was really happy that the PAC-10 came through and beat an SEC team, outside of USC. The SEC is the most overrated, underrated conference in football. Everyone complains that they get no respect but any television/radio sports analyst will say they are the best conference. So when UCLA, who is a upper/middle tier PAC-10 team, can take on and look just as good as an SEC powerhouse it shows that the playing field isn’t that unbalanced. This is “Rocky Top’s” second loss on the West Coast in as many years after taking an L at Cal last year.
