First home game of the year for Davis. Woot!! Go Aggies!!

[Andy]

Nate Davis of Ball State is now ranked No. 1 in the country in passing efficiency with a 195.2 rating. Central Michigan, however, is 3-0 in the MAC, so it will be a stern test for the Cardinals. A win would put Ball State 1/2 game out of first, or in the lead in the West depending on tonight's NIU-Miami OH game.

The Mizzou-aTm game is at 2:30 CST, and will be on ABC.

 

I'm excited, is it Saturday yet?

I'm not exactly surprised you hear this stuff before me (or apparently ESPN.com), but where do you hear it?

Vance, don't get too excited about LSU beating up on UK.

 

 

 

 

UK still plays UL-Monroe near the end of the year!

Mizzou's sports website, specifically through an RSS feed for the top stories. Tomorrow we find out what the time and TV is for the homecoming game next weekend.

That game is at Auburn.

Good Top 25 games

UCLA at (18) Oregon (3:30 pm, ABC)

 

Backup QB's first college start, on the road Autzen Stadium in Eugene (and UCLA is 0-1 on the road this year)...the only reason UCLA has a chance is the defense.

 

Screw Arizona and their cheap shot artists.

What are the odds Herbstreit picks Missouri to lose again?

Yesterday he said he needed to see Mizzou win to show him they were for real, so I wouldn't be surprised if he went with them this week. I don't blame him for the last two weeks, Colorado was a classic trap game, and we were road underdogs yesterday.

These are the current results for ESPN.com's "Rank your top 25" poll for college football. You Missouri fans should like it.

Maybe the pollsters aren't so bad after all.

The results are now more...normal.

 

1. OSU

2. Michigan

3. Florida

4. Texas

5. USC

6. WVU

7. Louisville

8. Tenn

9. ND

10. Cal

 

Missouri is 12th

I don't see how you can put Tennessee over Michigan. I understand dropping USC, Louisville, and WVU. I understand that Tennesse lost by one to Florida but the game was at home but they've played Cal and Georgia as well. Michigan hasn't really been tested yet but they did stomp Notre Dame. Interesting poll though.

To be fair, they prefaced the poll with this:

 

"You must rank teams based on how good you believe they are at the moment. That's the point when it comes to putting the teams in some order. However, once the year is complete, it's only fair to take the subjectivity out of it and go by what actually happened on the field."

Cal #6 is a joke. Missouri in the top 10 is ridiculous. No way does Mizzou play a Louisville, Notre Dame, Auburn, etc and beat them. No disrespect to Mizzou, but they've played a soft schedule to get to 6-0. Play Oklahoma or Texas and beat them and then we can talk.

 

(Michigan behind Tennesse is also a mistake, but not a huge one.)

Michigan is a better team than UT right now and I would maybe put Texas ahead of them too. For 3 quarters last night they didn't look that great against a Georgia team that isn't all that good and then had the game handed to them.

 

West Virginia is more deserving than Missouri and Notre Dame. Missouri should probably be higher than 21st based on Saturday's win, but definitely ahead of Louisville and West Virginia. Clemson also deserves to be ahead of Mizzou and ND in my opinion.

I don't disagree that Mizzou doesn't belong in the top 10, but apply the same logic to the other teams. Who has Louisville, USC, West Virginia, LSU, Clemson, Iowa, or Georgia beaten?

 

Edited out Notre Dame because I have a bad memory.

When UK plays ULM, bet heavily on UK.

Texas ahead of UT? Not a chance. Texas got handled by the #1 team whereas Tennessee lost by a point to the #2 team. Tennessee also dominated Cal, a team that is looking VERY good right now and beat Georgia (yes, they probably aren't that good) on the road. Texas beat an what I consider to be an average Oklahoma team.

 

What exactly has Clemson done? Beat an overrated Florida State team? Not exactly an accomplishment. Missouri probably is a little high but they should be ahead of Clemson right now.

Cal #6 is a joke? No way. I have them at #7 right now. I would put them as a favorite over USC if they were to play next week.
