This may be the hardest piece to write each week. Â I have an opinion but it is compulsory in many ways. Â I believe in my ranking but I also know they only live for one week. Â Instead of attempting to justify this slop, I am just going to talk about it.
Best of a bad lot: Stanford is a the best 7-3 team. Â You could make an argument for Virginia Tech or Miami, but you would be wrong. Â I can hear you saying, “So, that makes them the 8th best team in the country right now?” Â No, but their back-to-back offensive clinics against Oregon and USC gives them a seriously impressive streak. Â If they polish off California and Notre Dame in the same fashion, they will definitely be the best 9-3 squad and deserving a ranking higher than #8.
Worst of the best: Boise State continues to excel in the not-that-impressive department. Raise your hand if you think the Broncos are the 4th, 5th, or 6th best team out there. Â (I have both hands up right now.) Â And, yes, I think Oregon would dispatch of them at this point by more than 7 points.
Uno: Does anyone else think it is weird that there are only two teams with only one loss?
