Welcome to the Wild World of Sports. In my blog, I take national sports news, along with some local spotlight (Nashville, TN), and add my perspectives and opinions to it. I am currently a high school senior aspiring to become a sports broadcaster.

Rankings, Week 7

The first BCS rankings have come out. Not many people are too happy. Comprised of the Harris Poll, USA Today Coaches' Poll, and six computerized polls, the BCS still doesn't have it right. They have the wrong team at number one, and almost everyone agrees. Here are my rankings for the week:

1. Oregon- Computers will never take over the Earth. They are much too stupid, as shown by their rankings of this high-powered offense. No doubt they deserve number one.
2. Boise State- Cruising through their schedule now has gotten almost too easy. Good thing they are joining the Mountain West next year.
3. Oklahoma- They are good, just not better than Oregon or Boise State like the BCS says.
4. TCU- Big game against Air Force this weekend. They can prove their defense is lights out if they stop the Falcons' option attack.
5. Auburn- If anyone thought that this team would score 65 points, they should go to Vegas. Big game against LSU this weekend.
6. LSU- Les Miles is the luckiest coach alive. Period. End of story. He makes no sense- just youtube "Les Miles let er rip." You will see. They should get annhialated by Auburn.
7. Michigan State- Who would have thought this team would be here? They flew under the radar for the early season, and last week avoided a possible trap game against Illinois. They are here to stay.
8. Utah- Their quarterbacks are very solid. They win games, and that's why they are here.
9. Missouri- Blaine Gabbert is a very good quarterback, however he is still slightly banged up. They will not only need his passing skills but his running to have a chance to beat Oklahoma. Remember, they only beat San Diego State by a miracle last minute play, so they have looked human.
10. Alabama- They haven't impressed me too much, and it pains me to put them this high. But, they are here until they lose or are outplayed by another team.

Most intriguing matchup: OREGON vs. UCLA Oregon is going to be under the spotlight for the rest of the season as everyone finds out whether they can sustain their explosive offense. Meanwhile, UCLA is trying to figure out who they are, the good team that beat Texas and Houston, or the bad one who got romped by Cal. Very interesting matchup in the Pac-10.
