College football rankings are in for the AP Top 25 and this is why so many people think these polls are about as good as a used piece of toilet paper.

On Saturday, the No. 19 South Carolina Gamecocks beat the dog shit outta the No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide. After the ‘Cocks victory where would you vote them to be in the newest rankings?

Well, the votes are in and Alabama (5-1) dropped to No. 8, two ahead of the team that beat them last week; our beloved ‘Cocks (4-1) sit at No. 10. BTW the USA Today has ‘Bama sitting at No. 8 and South Carolina all the way down at No. 12.

‘Nuf said on that ‘cause we could write a whole book on this topic and if I do it, you may need to hide the women and children when it gets released. We learn something about NCAAF every week.

Back to the results, the No. 1 spot now belongs to “The” Ohio State Buckeyes who stayed unbeaten at 6-0 and accumulated 34 first-place votes while West Virginia snuck into the No. 25 spot.

Oh, almost forgot to mention, Boise State sits at No. 3 and got 8 first place votes for having a blue field and the Florida Gators and Oregon State somehow remained in with two losses each.

Below is the list of all Top 25 teams:

Twenty-three undefeated teams went into battle this weekend and twenty-two of them came out on top. The lone ranger was 9^th ranked Iowa who lost to No.24 Arizona 27-34 in Saturday’s only matchup between two ranked opponents. Besides that, this weekend’s games played pretty much to script.

So in other words, it was a bad day for gamblers… unless you happen to bet on the spread.

The top 5 teams in the land combined for a total of 270 points while only giving up 36 to their opponents, respectively.

I guess that will happen when you’re the highest scoring offense in the league and you play Portland State at home. I’m looking at you Oregon. How about you pick on someone your own size? Ya big bully.

But not every game was a blowout.

Perhaps the most riveting one of the weekend was between Notre Dame and Michigan State. Sorry Sooner fans, but your narrow win against Air Force isn’t website worthy; it’s just sad.

Anyways, what started off as a lackluster performance by MSU and Notre Dame, quickly turned into a great rivalry game. With their back against the wall and a roaring home crowd for support, the Spartans converted a fake field goal in overtime with a play they call, “Little Giants”, to seal the deal against the Fighting Irish in a 34-31 stunner.

Down by three, the Spartans were looking at a 46-yard game-tying field goal, when out of nowhere placeholder Aaron Bates grabbed the snap and chucked the ball downfield to a wide-open Charlie Gantt for the game winning catch.

This gutsy call proved to be too much though, as MSU coach Mark Dantonio suffered a mild heart attack only moments after the celebrations went underway. Don’t worry though, he is reportedly doing fine. Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly isn’t so lucky though.

This loss marked the second week in a row that the Fighting Irish have lost in the final seconds of the game, and the second time in two weeks that they lost to a team from Michigan. Not exactly a friendly neighbor if you ask me.

And although this game was heart stopping (too soon?), it was not the most impressive win on Saturday. That title is awarded to the Virginia Tech/ East Carolina game.

The 0-2 Hokies managed to pull out a victory against an undefeated East Carolina team, who did everything in their power not to win the game. After trailing in the first half, the Hokie home crowd walked away with their first win of the year and the upset of the week.

To be fair though, no one was watching the game, so ECU probably thought the game didn’t matter and just stopped playing in the second half. Honest mistake on their part.

Regardless, Virginia Tech will take the win and look to keep their newly acquired win streak alive against Boston College next week. Do the Hokies have another upset in them? Don’t bet on it.
