Dust Bowl

At least the Trojans didn't lose this week (they didn't play).
But being ranked number 20 in the nation only gets them into this year's Dust Bowl - probably against the number 21 team in the country (Utah).

1 Florida - Won a practice game before facing an under performing Florida St. next week.

2 Alabama - Also won a practice game before facing their rival Auburn next week.

(When the two teams meet - in two weeks - they will be playing for the real National Championship. What can I say? It's the year of the SEC and the Underdog.)

3 Texas - Probably the second best team in it's state. Second only to...

4 TCU - The Horned Frogs are having one hell of a decade since beating the USC Trojans in the '98 Sun Bowl. The team has finished it's season in the top 25 for most of the past decade. And this year seems no different.

5 Cincinnati - Great record against average teams (But they'll make one of the big money bowls.).

6 Boise St. - Maybe all the good players from Utah moved a little further north.
