SB Nation BlogPoll College Football Top 25 Rankings "
atomsareenough: Hey Norcalnick... I just noticed this, but Oregon State at #11???
11th might be a little high, but not too high.
atomsareenough: They didn't "beat up" Utah, they won by a TD, in a game where Utah's starting QB was injured early on. Anyway, color me skeptical on the lot of them.
Avinash: Hays has played a lot, he's no scrub (although he certainly plays like one at times).
atomsareenough: He has, but as we found out against Nevada, a sudden change of plans at the QB position can have an adverse effect on the quality of play. I think Utah is probably a 7-8 win team this year, plus a bowl game. Oregon State, maybe 5-7 wins, and maybe a bowl game. The rescheduled Nicholls State game could end up providing them a crucial win for bowl eligibility.
