College Football: Week 8 Polls and Opponents

Well, as to be expected, there are lots of new positions and a few new names in the Top 25. And, unlike previous weeks, there are just 25 teams as all three polls seem to agree as to which teams belong if not where. The BCS Rankings will also be out this week. I’ll post those separately.

[The three numbers for the rankings are from the AP Top 25, The Harris Coaches’ Poll, and CBSSports.com. An “NR” means that that particular poll did Not Rank the team.]

1/1/1 Oregon (6-0) The Ducks put their #1 ranking on the line Thursday night against the UCLA Bruins (3-3).

2/2/2 Boise State (6-0) The Broncos will face the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs (3-4) on Tuesday, the 26th.

3/3/4 Oklahoma (6-0) The Sooners play at #18 Missouri Tigers (6-0).

4/4/3 TCU (7-0) The Horned Frogs will host the Air Force Falcons (5-2).

5/5/5 Auburn (7-0) The Tigers will host the #6 LSU Tigers (7-0). I predict the Tigers will win and remain undefeated!

6/6/7 LSU (7-0) See above.
