Top 10: Week 2

More shakeups at the zenith of the polls this past weekend, and certainly MAKE PLAYS has devoted tireless hours into putting out this week's edition.

Unfortunately, we needed a quick fix for an angle, so we decided to semi-rip off ESPN's Bottom 10 and use some pop culture references to describe each squad.

So get some Orville Redenbacher, and enjoy our very special box-office top 10.

1. LSU (1 vote + tiebreak vote) (2-0)

There was some disagreement over the top spot this week, but one thing we couldn't disagree on was the fact that LSU absolutely tore Virginia Tech -- a member of last week's top 10 -- to shreds.

2. USC (1 vote) (1-0)

The Trojans didn't play this past weekend, and thus fell out of the top spot. One of us didn't think USC should be penalized for its day off.

3. Oklahoma (2-0)

Miami thought it had a chance. Instead, it got attacked from all directions by Oklahoma's magical offense.

4. Florida (2-0)

Florida beat up on those much weaker than it for the past two weeks. We'll see how good the Gators really are this week against Tennessee. Will they meet their match, even though they look untouchable?

5. West Virginia (2-0)

Run. Run more. Run again. Then run. Then run again. Repeat.

6. Louisville (2-0)

The Cardinals had a good ol' fashioned shootout with Middle Tennessee State last week. Expect one with Andre Woodson and Kentucky this week.

7. Texas (2-0)

Ut-ohhh, they're back. The Longhorns emerged from the shadows in the fourth quarter to drop fear into the hearts of TCU -- and the entire country.

8. California (2-0)

Everyone always seems to forget about Cal. We're guessing it'll be let out of its cage at some point, especially with some marquee matchups coming up.

9. UCLA (2-0)

Eleven returning starters on defense? That cohesive unit could stand up to any assault.


10. Wisconsin (2-0)

Wisconsin head coach Brett Bielema said his Badgers were lucky to escape Vegas as winners. I wish all of us were that lucky.

"The Departed:"

9. Georgia - "Mighty Ducks." Let down loss after impressive win. Just like every year. Just like the Hawks.
10. Appalachian State - "Cinderella." Nah, the Mountaineers didn't lose. But their carriage has at least converted a little bit more back into a pumpkin.
