IBleedMACGreen Posted October 2, 2007 Report Posted October 2, 2007 Ohio Sports Time has released their updated Ohio College Football Rankings which they update every week. A win at WMU would surely help bring the Zips back up. Quote
Dr Z Posted October 3, 2007 Report Posted October 3, 2007 Ohio College Football Rankings after Week #5Filed under: Ohio College Football Rankings, Ohio College Football, Ohio Football — @ 6:23 amAnother week in the 2007 college football season has passed, and the waters have been muddied even more in the 4-9 rankings of our weekly Ohio college football rankings. With wins over BCS schools in the past two weeks for both Toledo and Miami, it’s not possible for us to place YSU ahead of either school, but rest assured that we will hear about it. Without further ado, the Ohio College Football Rankings after Week #5:1 - Ohio State - 5-0 - The Buckeyes continue to roll with a 30-7 win on the road @ Minnesota. With upsets across the nation including losses by Florida, West Virginia, Texas and Oklahoma, the Buckeyes have vaulted to #4 in both polls. Ohio State faces their toughest test of the season this weekend, a match-up @ #23 Purdue on Saturday night.2 - Cincinnati - 5-0 - The Bearcats put up another 52 points in a 52-23 win at San Diego State just a few days after being ranked in the Top 25 for the first time since 1976. UC’s non-conference schedule is now over and the remaining 7 games are all against the much-improved Big East, with Rutgers up first on Saturday.3 - Bowling Green - 3-1 - BG defeated next year’s Sun Belt member and will-be new Football Bowl Subdivision member Western Kentucky 41-21 on Saturday to keep the #3 spot. BGSU has a tough road test at #7 Boston College on Saturday as they look to pull another MAC upset over a BCS opponent.4 - Can't State - 3-2 - Putting Can't ahead of Akron will not go over well with many, but after Akron was thoroughly embarrased by UConn and Can't won @ Ohio, the edge goes to the flushes despite their loss @ Akron a week ago. Can't hosts Miami on Saturday as the Golden flushes look to defeat another MAC East opponent.5 - Ohio - 2-2 - The Bobcats defense was porous and their offense flat until the 4th Quarter in their 33-25 loss to Can't State on Saturday. A win against an improving Buffalo Bulls on Saturday is a must for Ohio if they want to have a chance to represent the MAC East in the MAC Championship game again in 2007.6 - Akron - 2-2 - The Zips fall thanks to a “what have you done for me lately” after UConn thumped Akron 44-10. As a result, the Zips come in at #6 in the state of Ohio. Akron’s next test is a tough one as they travel to Kalamazoo to face Western Michigan.7 - Miami - 2-3 - “The RedHawks host Syracuse next weekend in what will likely be another ugly game as Syracuse comes off an upset of Louisville.” That is what I said last week, and it appears that Syracuse didn’t come prepared for the RedHawks as Miami won at home 17-14. Miami looks to keep the momentum with a tough road game @ Can't State on Saturday.8 - Toledo - 1-4 - Miami’s win over a BCS school pivots them back ahead of Toledo who beat a BCS school just a week ago. The Rockets are already 0-2 against the MAC West which likely means their hopes for a MAC Championship are gone, but there’s no doubt this team has the talent to win several more games and finish with a respectable record. Saturday will be an easy “W” for the Rockets as they host Liberty.9 - WannabeU - 4-1 - A win over Missouri State cannot compare to Can't and Toledo beating Iowa State, Miami beating Syracuse or BG beating Minnesota. Complain all you want YSU fans, but unless you can match up against Football Championship Subdivision teams each week, we’re not going to know if you truly are as good as the other teams on this list, Sagarin rankings or not.
