Texas Longhorns Take Over Top Spot In Both Polls

Kevin K. — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 19:09:27 +0000

With their 45-35 victory over the previously no. 1 Oklahoma Sooners in the Red River Rivalry, the Texas Longhorns have taken over the top spot in both the AP Poll and USA Today Coaches’ Poll. The Longhorns (6-0, 2-0) face the Missouri Tigers this weekend.

Missouri (5-1, 1-1) suffered their first loss this weekend at the hands of the Oklahoma State Cowboys. The Tigers fell to 11th in the AP and 12th in the Coaches’ Poll.

Texas jumped over the 2nd ranked Alabama Crimson Tide to claim the top spot. Alabama was idle this weekend, which obviously didn’t help their case. However, the Longhorns did beat the consensus number one team in the country.

In the AP Poll, the rest of the Top 5 consists of Alabama, Penn State, Oklahoma and Florida. In the Coaches Poll, Alabama, Penn State, USC and Texas Tech complete the Top 5.

USC Upset By Oregon State, Loses Its Grip On The BCS

Kevin K. — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 12:22:44 +0000

The USC Trojans rolled in to Corvallis last night ranked number one in both polls with blowout wins over Ohio State and Virginia. They left with a damaging 27-21 loss to the Oregon State Beavers.

Trailing 21-0 at half, the Trojans came back to within a touchdown. But late in the 4th quarter, a Mark Sanchez pass was intercepted by OSU saftety Greg Laybourn. Jacquizz Rodgers, who rushed for 186 yards, punched it in from there to give the Beavers a 14-point lead late in the game.

The loss by the Trojans has shaken up the BCS race. USC was heavily favored to finish first. Now they may have to settle for the Rose Bowl and a rematch against Ohio State.

The teams behind USC will all move up after this weekend if they win. Oklahoma hosts a 4-0 TCU team, Georgia hosts 4-0 and 10th ranked Alabama (8th in AP Poll), Florida travels to Arkansas and LSU hosts Mississippi State. The Missouri Tigers are off this weekend.

So what do you think? Which team has the best chance of taking over the number one ranking after this weekend? Who do you predict will play in the BCS Championship game?
