Maybe Next Week: Oh who the hell cares at this point
BRAIN DROPPINGS
--I'm at a loss after #16. I'm sticking the Noles at #17 because I'm a bit biased and because of the razor-thin circumstance of yesterday's loss at Georgia Tech (sure TD becomes a fumble in the end zone with 45 seconds left after a Jacket helmet pops the ball out of the arms of FSU's Marcus Sims at the goal line). That's also why I give Virginia Tech almost a complete pass for the loss to ECU in week one (blocked punt for a TD with a minute to go).
--I may be a week too early with anointing Texas Tech, but what the hell. Bama's win over Georgia just got devalued quite a bit and the uncomfortably close wins over Ole Miss and Kentucky don't sit well with me.
--I don't know how anyone can't have Texas as the highest ranked one-loss team. Their last four games are the toughest month-long gauntlet I've seen a team play in my lifetime.
--5 ACC teams on my ballot. Sue me.

Cal #20, MD #22m huh?
Yup. MD beat Cal, but Cal's two losses are somewhat respectable - to MD and to Arizona. The Terps' losses are of the "What the F***?" variety. Middle Tennessee (and not close, either) and the 31-0 shutout to UVA. And the nailbiter with Delaware in the opener doesn't help.
It's about the overall resume. And the Terps will have a damn impressive one if they win out. Right now, Cal's is just a little better. But I could be wrong.
Yeah I can respect that I guess. The two losses are certainly head scratchers. I guess it comes down to if you penalize more for bad losses or credit more for good wins. After MD beats VT and USC stomps out Cal it won't matter much anyways...
