Top 25, Heisman favorites, and links: Week 4

Another week in, another FOUR top ten teams take a tumble. (Go ahead, say five times fast before you move on)

The continued losing of the "best teams" is making putting together a top 25 harder and harder, especially with nine teams who are still unbeaten sitting outside the rankings done by the big boys.

So, after week four, who are the top 25 teams in the land by my standards?

  1. Florida
  2. Texas
  3. Alabama
  4. Virginia Tech
  5. Boise State
  6. Oklahoma
  7. LSU
  8. USC
  9. Cincinnati
  10. Ohio State
  11. Penn State
  12. TCU
  13. Houston
  14. Penn State
  15. Oklahoma State
  16. Mississippi
  17. BYU
  18. North Carolina
  19. Miami
  20. Cal
  21. Georgia
  22. Missouri
  23. Michigan
  24. Iowa
  25. Kansas

Heisman Favorites

First off, and I am doing this out of spite and hilarity, but take a look at who Jon Goesslin from SI.com has as the number two player in America. You will laugh.

  • Tim Tebow, QB, Florida
  • Colt McCoy, QB, Texas
  • Greg McElroy, QB, Alabama
  • Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State
  • AJ Green, WR, Georgia
