Hate playing those bottom 10 teams and UNT debuts this week at number 8. We better win for sure now:

I was hoping they'd wait a week. Now UNT will be hopping mad about getting put on the list. At least we aren't on the list.

I wouldn't have put Arkansas at #5. Sure, it's the joke spot usually reserved for BCS teams that slip up, but c'mon, they got smoked by last year's NC runner up. I would have put Miami there. They looked pitiful in front of a national audience on Monday night.

Miami was far from pitiful. Their offense struggled, but FSU's defense was a big part of that. The Miami defense also looked very good. My vote goes to Cal.

I don't get Arkansas in the joke spot either....certainly many more BCS teams that looked worse than them, especially considering who they were playing.

Guess they needed a pig joke to fit into their Crocodile sayings and they fit the best.

Bottom 10 analysis of UNT:

"Have a go at this": After the opening weekend, the Mean Green are ranked last in total offense and last in scoring defense.

Heh.

And just to pile on, UNT was last in rushing offense.

In the great state of Arkansas, it was held as absolute faith that the beloved Razorbacks would not just beat, but embarrass USC. For those that don't know it, Arkansas is loaded this year. Arkansas claims to have great players at every position with more depth than any other school in the universe. And just to show how much depth Arkansas has, in less than 12 hours after the USC defeat, the beloved mentor and the greatest head coach in the land, Houston Nutt, not only demoted his starting QB, but changed his position entirely! Now Arkansas, who has depth beyond depth, has moved the starting QB to a wide receiver position and placed a true freshman as the new starting QB.

The lack of an effective running game, lack of pass protection and a totally manhandled defense are inconsequential to the beloved Razorbacks as a savior freshman QB is on the way.

All that dripping with sarcasm is a long way of saying the Arkansas doesn't deserve #5 but #1.

My vote goes for Ralphie and the Colorado Buffaloes. Losing your home opener to a Div. II school.

Pitiful performance by Big12 North Champs, but it's 1AA...not Div II.
