Agreement. Some of us haz it: Top-25 (Bowl Edition)

Well, 30% of the coaches agree with me. Texas is, based on the absurd and ludicrous measuring stick of having defeated Oklahoma, better than Oklahoma. I'd say about 10 points better. To me, running up the score does not quality define.

I'm assuming there will be plenty of first place votes for Texas unless Florida blows out Oklahoma. Not split national title plenty, but enough to create some tension in next season's RRR.

Thanks to The Moviegoer for the first link. Here's the detailed coaches' breakdown. Oh, what fun this is. Right, Hal "Hawai'i's #1"Mumme? Check out where the Big-12 coaches put Florida.

Here's my top-25. We have ties this time. For emphasis.

Top-5 (er, 6)
1. Florida - Tebow + beating Bama = #1
2. Texas - Did you guys know they beat Oklahoma?

3. TIE Alabama - lost to Florida by 11
Oklahoma - lost to Texas by 10

5. Penn State - still by virtue of the Oregon State game
6. USC - will probably right this ranking wrong in the Rose Bowl

The Rest of the Top-10
7. Utah - Enjoy Bourbon Street. I'd drink A LOT if I were you.
8. Ohio State - Could make all this OU vs. Texas stuff moot.
9. Texas Tech - Who? Oh, yeah....those guys.
10. Boise St. - Undefeated = shitty bowl, tough opponent

Who hung with Oklahoma?
11. TIE Cincinnati - Big East Champs! Hoo-Ray!
TCU - Horned Frogs held OU to a measly 35 points

Who Beat Florida?
13. Ole Miss - They beat Florida. Pay no attention to their losses.

We're 9-3 and either very proud or VERY disappointed:
14. Oklahoma St. -Why not?
15. Georgia Tech -It's NOT the same play, people.
16. - Georgia - National Champs, Baby! What? No tackling?! You sure? Oh...Ok. Nevermind.
17. Michigan State - Javon Ringer hearts arm tackles. Javon Ringer hearts Georgia's D.
18. Oregon - For freeing the slaves. Oh, sorry. Different Civil War.
19. - Pitt - They're the real McCoy (it had to be done. And, now I apologize).

Flotsam and Jetsam:
20. Virginia Tech - To the BCS! Fascinating. To play Cincy, no less. I feel Game of the Year...
21. Missouri - I think the Sooners are still picking pieces of Tiger out of their teeth
22. Oregon State - Rodgers will be back and he will fly like the wind
23. Iowa/Northwestern - You decide.

We Hardly knew Ye:
24. Ball State - For Nate.
25. BYU - This spot = phoned in

  1. Urban Meyer also gave Ole Miss its highest ranking, 12. No shocker there.
