College Football Power Rankings Week 2
Few things of note from week 2:
*The ACC is one of the worst conferences in the country. There is no reason that Miami, Florida State, and Virginia Tech should be this bad. No reason at all.
*Virginia Tech is not an elite football program. They are a very good football program. There is a clear difference between the USC’s, the Florida’s, the Texas’s and the Virginia Tech’s, the Louisville’s, and the California’s. In order to be treated like a top program, you have to beat a top program. Virginia Tech had their chance and they blew it against LSU. Even a close loss would have been respectable. A 48-7 loss is an embarrassment to the program and the conference.
*LSU is the best team in the nation. Hands down.
*The Pac-10 is better than the ACC
*Lloyd Carr will be fired and Michigan will lose 2-4 more games this season, giving them a total between 4-6 losses.
Listed below are this week’s power rankings. Enjoy.
