Even though the cougars were off yesterday, there was plenty of reason for cougar fans to be watching college football this weekend. It all started with USC being upset by Oregon St, but it didn't stop there. Three other top 10 teams fell also. No. 4 Florida lost on a blocked extra point to Mississippi St. No. 9 Wisconsin got beat my Michigan in the big house. Then, in prime time, No 3. Georgia fell badly to a national champion type performance by No. 8 Alabama.
This shake up can only be good for the no. 11 Cougars. I imagine Florida and Georgia will remain in the top 15 in this week's polls. Wisconsin will fall at least 10 spots, but will probably still remain in the top 25. The question then becomes, "Will voters have the guts to put BYU ahead of Florida and Georgia?" I think BYU will actually end up inbetween the two. Georgia will only fall a few spots because there loss was to a very good ranked opponent. BYU will fall behind them. Florida will fall a couple of spots below BYU. Here's how I see it.
1. Oklahoma
2. Alabama
3. Missouri
4. Texas
5. LSU
6. Texas Tech
7. Georgia
8. BYU
9. Penn St.
10. Florida
As an important side note, the upsets also helped Max Hall's hopes for the Heisman. He now sits in the number 3 position behind, Missouri's Chase Daniel, and Oklahoma's Sam Bradford. Click here.
BYU football fans know that this is the year for BYU to bust the BCS. Going independent has opened the door for national exposure. The BYU football team is on its way to be playing for the national championship.
