I’m at the Bolt Hole where there’s only the dial-up connection so things are a bit more compact in this week’s recap. (Takes too long to check out what happened in the games.) Add the trip to NJ and the Saturday wedding of my niece and I didn’t even get to watch much football. So, without much to do, here’s the results of Week 7’s competition for the Top 25 (more or less). The rankings are from the AP/Coaches Poll/CBSSports 120. Those in parentheses are those going into week 6.
Only #10 LSU and #13 Oregon were off this week and with lots of conference play as well as matches between ranked teams, there’s bound to be a whole lot of shakin’ goin’ on based upon the results below. Add that the first BCS rankings will appear and there will be plenty to discuss at the local watering hole.
