First things first -- the most obvious and repeated complaint. Why do I hate Penn State? I don't. Actually, they're the team with the highest upside looking at their remaining slate. If they continue take care of their business, expect them to leap up meteorically. It would be nice if Penn State operated with a greater margin for error, but this year they prefer to live dangerously. Heading into the meat of the schedule, starting with schizophrenic Illinois, is when those close wins will count more. The Big East gives up the ghost as West Virginia drops out after their debacle at Syracuse. Georgia Tech, Auburn and Washington all follow the Mountaineers through the exit. The bloodletting will continue with the other games of note this week: Clemson visits Georgia Tech, Stanford travels to the Coliseum for USC, Oklahoma State hosts Baylor, and Michigan State hopes to avoid a hangover at Nebraska.

You have all the Big Ten teams in the right place, I'd say,
with the exception of [NAME REDACTED]. They lost to [ITEM NOT FOUND ERROR] this weekend, and their most impressive win is…what? ASU? Not good at all for [NAME REDACTED].

Alright, what's the love with putting the Trojans at 20

IMO Texas Tech and A&M
should be below PSU. I also would flip flop Okie State and Cemson based on the strength of their respective conferences-even though I think it is inevitable that the Cowboys will NOT go undefeated. (Oklahoma State is the true little brother to the Sonners-unlike Sparty and U of M.)
tO$U sucks-ALWAYS the right choice!
Totally.
When does OSU play OU? It’ll be a blowout. OU is way too strong on defense, while OSU lacks a defense in general.
