Captain's Top 13 - In Order

[Captain Kangaroo]

#1: Toledo – Handled WMU with ease, getting up 35-0 before calling off the dogs.

#2: NIU: Presently 0-2, but credible performances vs Michigan and Northwestern. Their RB Wolfe is f-ing tough.

#3: BG – Scoring some points, but giving them up like crazy too. 31 points to Ball State is embarrassing for a team thought to be a title contender.

#4: Central Michigan – The were step-for-step with Indiana, then beat Miami in Oxford. CMU looking good in the early going.

#5: Akron – Is a 25 point loss to Purdue better than a 16-10 win over Pitt? Tough to say…OU and Akron appear pretty close at this time. I give the edge to Akron because OU can’t score an offensive touchdown.

#6: OU – Bobcats score a nice home win vs. Pitt. At year’s end, Pitt may only have beaten YSU, which will take some of the luster off this BCS beating.

#7: EMU: 31-10 over Lou. Laf. Not a bad non-conf win. They appear to be on the rise.

#8: Miami: On reputation alone. They stunk up the Horseshoe in week #1, then lost to CMU at home. One more bad week and they’re dropping to my “Bottom 3.”

#9: Can't: MAJOR beat down at the hands of Michigan State in week 1, but beat a 1-AA team at home by 21 last week. Their #1 MAC D appears to be all hype.

#10: Western Michigan: Had a decent showing vs. Va Tech…but got their doors blown off by Toledo.

#11: Ball State: Put up 31 points on BG. Not enough to overcome that opening day massacare @ Iowa, however.

#12: Buffalo: Has yet to score a point in 8 quarters of football. That is pathetic.

#13: Temple: 65-0 beat down at the hands of Wisconsin. Hey it was only 9 points more than BG surrendered…but 6TD’s fewer than BG scored. Buffalo is salivating at the thought of playing Temple every year.

I hope OU gets a serious, serious Beatdown this week. They play VT so they'll get a beatdown, but I'm hoping it's greater than 35. I don't want them to be too sure of themselves when the come to the RB. I put a lot on momentum and right now, they're on a serious high.
