Thoughts of the 2006-2007 College Football Year

Most people were surprised by Monday's game, but some people figured it was coming. Florida, as they saw it, was not respect eneough, and they were hungry to win. Ohio St., perhaps under-estimated Florida's speed. Ohio St. has won by more points, but they have also had a much easier scedule. Ohio St. also had about a month and a half off, while Florida had a little less than a month off. Florida was a little more in the groove of things if you will. Florida, just simply played a better, and more prepared game than Ohio St.
Notre Dame once again showed that they can sometimes get extra respect. They have had three losses, all to good teams, but they don't have many if any really big wins. When they play a real good team, it seemed as if they were not really in the game much. They lost to Michigan, USC, and LSU, all pretty big losses. At least Auburn beat the would-be number one and number three (one and two in my pole) teams at the end of the year. They, of course, did loose to a good Arkansas team and a good Georgia team at home, and barely won games such as South Carolina, Ole Miss, Nebraska, and Alabama. LSU showed to be the best two-loss team in the nation (you could make the argument for USC) going into the bowl game, better than Auburn (even though they lost to Auburn), Oklahoma, and of course as they really proved, better than Notre Dame (now with three losses). Notre Dame was projected to be in the BCS Championship game if they beat USC (which of course they did not).
Of course the best game seemed to be the Oklahoma vs. Boise St. game. Boise St. proved that they were not undefeated primarily because of their "easy" scedule. However, they were even in my book with Oklahoma, which let's me think that they could be put together, Boise St., and then Oklahoma. I think voters would vote Boise St. well ahead of the now three-loss Oklahoma team. A win is a win and a loss is a loss, granted, but that was pretty much an even game between the two. It does, however, make a point for a playoff- to allow Boise St. to have a chance against Ohio St., USC, LSU, and of course Florida. So with that in mind, I will give you my rankings from one to wherever I go:
1. Florida
2. LSU
3. Ohio St.
4. USC
5. Louiville
6. Michigan
7. Wisconsin
8. Auburn
9. Boise St.
10. Oklahoma
11. Arkansas
12. Texas
13. West Va.
14. California
15. Rutgers
16. Notre Dame
17. Wake Forest
18. Bringham Young
19. Tennessee
20. Georgia
21. Nebraska
22. Virginia Teck
23. Penn St.
24. South Carolina
25. Georgia Teck
26. Boston College
27. TCU
28. Oregon St.
29. Kentucky
30. Hawaii
31. Clemson
32. Maryland
33. Texas A&M
34. South Florida
35. Houston
There you go. I actually put Notre Dame one ranking ahead of what the AP poll had, and three ahead of what the USA Today poll had, but I think that is because they put the smaller, lesser-heard-of schools ahead, such as Bringham Young, West Va., Rutgers, etc. I have nothing against these schools and want to see them do good, but looking at their scedule, it doesn't seem as if they impress me much. I also took into account margain of victory, or defeat. Even though Georgia Teck lost their last three games, they lost in close games to teams ranked ahead of them. I didn't count it as a win, but took into account who they had played, and the final scores.
