Top 5 Saturday Predictions...

So how 'bout them ducks! They destroyed the Huskies with 465 rushing yards, 39 first downs and 55 points! Jonathan Stewart had 251 yards on 32 carries and 2 touchdowns! If it wasn't for their defense giving up 34 points, they looked nearly unstoppable. #9 USC comes to town this Saturday to take on #5 Oregon, look for Oregon run away with a win and finally making their debut in the top 3.

Just as I predicted, South Florida was overrated, a good team, but not deserving of the number 2 spot. Ohio State and LSU barely escaped with wins, but their schedules are far from being a cake walk. This Saturday #1 Ohio State starts the more difficult part of their schedule starting at #25 Penn State. #3 LSU is at #24 Alabama. Also, #2 Boston College is at Virginia Tech #8. I am predicting now that 2 of the top 3 teams will lose this Saturday. The only credible team in the top 3 is LSU and will most likely be the only team to escape with a win.
How do you barley escape with a win over a 1-7 team, have a loss to a .500 team and still be in the top 4?!? Oklahoma is not a top 5 team at this point and will show their true colors in the couple of weeks...well, except for the fact that they're playing in the big 12. Of course I wouldn't mind seeing another Oklahoma vs. Oregon title game.

Why Oregon should be #1...

What I want to know is how the top team from one of the weakest conferences is ranked #1!?! That's right Ohio State. They haven't played any great teams and we all saw how overrated they were last year. I might have them in my top ten but not in my top five. I'm really hesitant with South Florida and Boston College. I think they will both prove overrated and will show that in the coming weeks.

Out of the 1 loss teams however. I would say that Oregon is probably the most valid of any of the teams. Incredible offense and a solid defense, if they take care of the ball they will be tough to beat. They are probably the best team from arguably the best conference, and I would take them over any of the top five teams in the rankings now, yes, including LSU. We all saw what a good Kentucky offense did to the Tigers mighty defense. Oregon is #1 in my poll and will prove it against the Trojans a week from Saturday.
