Schlabach's List is Borderline Non-sensical

Mark Schlabach has a column ranking the top 25 teams in the country and I think It stinks. Ok, I don't have a problem with 1-5 (Bulldogs, Buckeyes, Sooners, Trojans, Gators). But a retarded chimp could've put those five together. I shall now point out his most glaring errors.

WVU is at #7. Look, the Mountaineers were a very good team last year but they still lost two conference games in the Big East. Also, they lose key components on the offensive side of the ball including the coach who rebuilt the program into a national power. Top 25? Yes. Top ten? no.

Texas Tech is at #8. How the fuck do you figure? They weren't that great in '07. and now they have no idea who is going to play tailback. Look, they aren't terrible but I don't see them as top ten material.

Pitt is at #19 and this is completely unacceptable. Pitt gave up 24.3 points a game last year while only scoring 22.8 points a game. PLUS, schlabach acknowledges that their leading receiver is ineligible for '08, so, how is the scoring differential going to improve? It isn't. The Panthers aren't a top 25 team.

Notre Dame is at #25. The Irish were the worst team in football last year. The defense was bad and the offense was down right terrible. How do you go from the 119th team in football to #25 in a matter of months? The answer is that you don't. The Irish should consider 6-6 as a very positive season. Dude, I know you want people to read this column, however, pandering to the Irish is not the way to do it.

GO STATE!
