AP rankings are out

   Hell yeah!/Oh Crap! We broke the top 10. This is great/can’t be good. We have proven that we are a legitimate SEC Championship contender/ We are going to be exposed for having no depth when we finally meet a real opponent and then ridiculed until Beekeeper loses his voice. 
   The list follows with SEC teams in bold. Not that I think that you, kind reader, don’t know who is in the SEC. Rather because it looks cool when you visually highlight the number of SEC teams in the top 10. Commentary, although mine, is in italics and infallible.

1. USC – All our base etc. If you haven’t heard about them before, take notice now. Definately on the Heffalump’s “Rising Stars” list.
2. Oklahoma – This team looks as good as I’ve ever seen them look. That will make it so much more confusing when, enevitably, a  preposterously outmanned oh-lets-say-Colorado-with-a-wink-but-it-could-be-anyone knocks them out of the championship game and sends them to a still impressive BCS bowl that… well, y’know. 
3. Georgia – Will this team be able to rehab/make bail in time for the tough schedule ahead?
4. Florida – I picked them to win it all this year and see no reason other than a brutal schedule, an entrenched #1 and #2 team, and a questionable (but I’m betting on them) secondary.   
5. Missouri – No idea. They always play when a game I want to see more is on so I only see them when my game is in a tv time out. If they can maintain their commercial break form on offense they might go places.
6. LSU – “O Harvard…”
7. Texas -  I like being able to fully embrace a Muschamps’ D. “Boom!”
8. Wisconsin – So boring… Can;/t findgs sajgfisanvjnnnnnnnnnn zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz… That’s not fair at all and I’m big enough to admit it. They bore me. 
9. Alabama – We are not necessarily back although this time is different because STOP! Just sit back and see. It’s better than I expected already.
10. Auburn – The offense, as advertised, does unexpected things. Most Auburn fans would agree.
11. Texas Tech – OppositeofWisconsinineveryway.Haveyouseenthemplay?Theythrowandthrowandthenwhenthedefenseisonthefieldyoucangetmorecoffeewhichyouneedtokeep upbecausesoontheywillthrowandthrowagain.. 
12. South Florida – No interest to me. Except the mustache.
13. Ohio State – This is about right. Finally
14. BYU – 59-0 vs. UCLA. Tennessee has a raging case of herpes.
15. East Carolina – Jury still out, although it is a friendly jury for making Tulane look respectable to the national audience.
16. Penn State – Syracuse is still Syracuse. I guess they exceeded expectations.
17. Oregon – I know that they struggled against Perdue, but they should be higher. Jet lag you see.
18. Wake Forest – This is ACC FOOTBALL!
19. Kansas – I lost faith when they lost to USF.
20. Utah – Um… sure.
21. West Virginia – I thought that was a great story last year when they found that Mr. Right had been right there all along.
22. Illinois – Not really worth a comment.
23. Clemson – Yes! Higher and higher.
24. Florida State – For the love of… really?
25. Fresno State – Am I wrong because I want these guys to sputter and admit that last year’s success was all Mac at OC?

       Not sure if I’ll get a post off tomorrow. It’s an odd day at work and I’m still trying to sort out my new responsibilities. I’d like to put up a news recap and I’m thinking of a preview of Arkansas as well as a psychological profile of Beekeeper. Hopefully , if not tomorrow, I’ll have them all by Tuesday.
