Final '07 Poll
The college football ’07 season ended one of the craziest schedules in recent decades with the talented LSU club beating a young Ohio St. in the BCS title game. The Tigers crushed the Buckeyes 38-24 and became the first team ever to win two BCS championships. The incredible ’07 season and postseason concluded with major changes weekly among the top 16 clubs and the bowl season was no different. Ohio St. lost the BCS title game for the second straight year after being thrashed by the Florida Gators in a huge upset last January. West Virginia, Georgia, Southern Cal, Kansas and Missouri all impressed in their bowl wins and will get some consideration for the top spots. LSU wins the national title for the second time this decade with a BCS title under Nick Saban after the 2003 season.

The college football season ended the craziest regular schedule in recent decades with further major surprises at the top of the rankings. The incredible ’07 season concluded with more major changes as different #1 and #2 rated clubs, West Virginia and Missouri both losing and falling from the top five ranking in the final week. Ohio St. completed their season two weeks ago and slipped back into the top spot off the losses by higher rated clubs. They moved into the BCS title matchup vs LSU as a result. LSU won the SEC title game with another fine performance this time vs a tough Tennessee club.

Top 16 Teams - Nov. 25 - Frank Coyle - Head Scout - Draft Insiders

The college football top 25 rankings continue an incredible season with additional major changes as another #1 and #2 rated club, LSU and Kansas this week losing and falling from the top five ranking. West Virginia moves into the tenuous #1 spot with Missouri claiming the equally vulnerable #2 spot after beating previously undefeated Kansas. They will be in position for a BCS berth with a strong finish especially Missouri who faces a rematch with Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship after losing to the Sooners’ 41-31 at midseason. West Virginia rates the #1 claim after another impressive performance vs Connecticut.

LSU Holds on to #1 Ranking while Kansas moves to #2

The college football top 25 rankings continue an amazing season with additional major changes. Another #2 rated club, Oregon falls from their high ranking when they fell to a fired up Arizona club. LSU remains in the #1 spot and in the best position for a BCS berth with a strong finish. Oklahoma was another top 5 club that tasted defeat at the hands of the explosive Texas Tech club. Ohio St. rebounded from last week’s loss and beat arch-rival Michigan that guarantees them a Rose Bowl berth. Kansas and Hawaii remain the only undefeated clubs at this point of the season. The top 10 teams shuffled once again with Kansas moving into the deadly #2 spot that has seen numerous clubs fall shortly after that high rating. The former top ranked club, Ohio St gets back into the top 5 position and looks to create a major matchup to compete for the national title.

The college football top 25 rankings continue an amazing season with another major change with #1 rated Ohio St. falling from the unbeaten ranks. LSU moves into the #1 spot and is in good position for a BCS berth with a strong finish. The Ohio St. loss leaves only Kansas and Hawaii undefeated at this point of the season. The top 10 teams shuffled once again with several big upsets that affected the rankings especially Ohio St and Michigan which play their rivalry match next week. The former top ranked club, Ohio St got beat by a good Illinois club soundly and continues to be the most improved team in the nation and Big Ten. Oregon was idle but is in good position to challenge for the national title over the final weeks. Several clubs moved into our top 16 positions as a result of a few changes, Texas, Florida, Illinois and Cincinnati.
