'Bama in First? 1993, Is That You?

Alabama has rolled to the top of the rankings, and Penn State gets the shaft from Texas Tech.

That's my take on the latest rankings. I suppose, though, when you're idle, you can't expect to move up. I sincerely hope Penn State makes it to the BCS Championship Game.

If Penn State doesn't make it to that game, Ohio State, should it win out, won't go to a BCS bowl for the first time since 2004.  We certainly don't want that.

I feel that Penn State got a little bit of a shaft because beating the No.1 team on a last-second play should not automatically make Texas Tech world beaters. Besides, they still have to play the Overrated Sooners.

My prediction is that Penn State will run the table and go play for the crystal football LIKE IT DESERVES. I don't see 'Bama getting through that SEC slate. It just seems like so many teams are peaking right now and anything could happen.

That is, after all, why we love college football so much.
