The actual Fansided Top 25 can be seen at Saturday Blitz. However, here is how I voted:
- Kansas State – Not sure if they are legitimately the best team in the country. However, this is the most balanced team I have seen all year. And I am anxious to see what they would do in the title game.
- Oregon – Struggled for a bit against Cal, but took care of business. Interested to see if Oregon can finish strong, and get back to the title game.
- Notre Dame – The Irish keep on grinding out victories. Have to give them credit for keep on winning, but not completely sold on the Irish.
- Georgia – The Dawgs beat up on a sorry Auburn team and have clinched a spot in the SEC title game.
- Florida State – Avoided the upset against Virginia Tech. Not sure they truly are a top five team, but winning is winning.
- LSU – Got by Mississippi State. Quality win for the Tigers.
- Texas A&M – Who would’ve thought the Aggies would beat the ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE in their first season in the SEC? Stunning. Good job, Sumlin. And Johnny Football for Heisman.
- Alabama – LOL DAMN TIDE. (Note: I don’t know why I put the Tide this low. Kinda regretting taking them out of the Top 5 looking back.)
- Florida – Needed a last second score to get by Louisiana-Lafayette. Questionable performance for the Gators.
- Oklahoma – Got some revenge on Baylor, and now head in to three tough weeks to finish the season. We’ll see how good OU truly is starting with their road trip to Morgantown, WV.
- Clemson – Tigers beat up on Maryland. So that’s a thing.
- South Carolina – Got the W over Arkansas. Yawn.
- Stanford – Needed a fourth quarter score and got it. Quality win for the Cardinal over Oregon State.
- Nebraska – Had their struggles, but overcame Penn State in the second half.
- UCLA – High scoring one, but the Bruins knocked off Leach’s club on the road.
- Texas – Clobbered the Cyclones. RIP DKR.
- Oregon State – Couldn’t come through, and Stanford got them in the fourth.
- Louisiana Tech – Basketball season is back, but wow, 62-55 victory over Texas State. Okay then, La Tech.
- Southern Cal – Bounced back with a win over Arizona State. Need a victory over UCLA to get their rematch with Oregon.
- Rutgers – They beat Army a day before Veteran’s Day? Jerks…
- Boise State – Vacay to Hawaii and a win?! Good weekend for Boise.
- Louisville – Really, the Cuse? THE CUSE?!?!?
- Michigan – Overtime win over Northwestern. Quality.
- Texas Tech – Went to triple OT with Kansas, but the Raiders pulled it out, where as last season they probably would have lost.
- Oklahoma State – Stepped up and beat West Virginia with their third string quarterback. I don’t care how bad the Mountaineer defense, that’s a good W for the Pokes.
