About the Author - Joshua E
phenix city, AL
Male 25 years old
About Me:
I am a Marine stationed in Hawaii. I have a beautiful wife and a three month old son named Jaycub. I have always been a sports fanatic and with the addition of my son, now have a chance to pass on my knowledge and allegiances to him. I am a former linebacker who played with the likes of Carnell Williams (Tampa Bay Buccaneers), Roman Harper (New Orleans Saints) and Anthony Madison (Pittsburgh Steelers) in the 2001 Alabama/Mississippi All Star Game. I also played two years of Division 1-AA football for the Gardner-Webb Runnin' Bulldogs and was their starting Mike linebacker for the 2002 and 2003 seasons. I am a huge college football and NFL fan. No bandwagon jumper here, I've been an Alabama Crimson Tide fan through their good when I was a little tike and through the bad of the past fifteen or so years. Now it looks like we're on the road to being good again. Yay me. I have also been a Falcon's fan my whole life. Not much to be proud of (except the 1998 NFC Championship Title) but that will eventually change. Plus I'm an Atlanta Braves fan. Plenty to be proud of there but also plenty to be disappointed with (One WS Title in 5 trips, ouch!). Looks to be heading in the wrong direction there. But that's pretty much my life now. Family, sports, and work.

Just Another Game Of Musical Ranks
10/12/08
It is college football at its finest. For three weeks in a row, the Top 10 has been flip flopped again. # 1 Oklahoma losing to # 5 Texas. # 3 Missouri losing at home to # 17 Oklahoma State. # 4 LSU losing to # 11 Florida in the Swamp. If you didn't know by now, the last three weeks should have taught you that anything can happen in college football. The question right now is, who moves into the top 5 spots? Let's take a look.
# 1. Alabama - Probably the luckiest of the Top 5 teams, Alabama was idle on Saturday and watched as #'s 1, 3, and 4 lost. Although Texas beat Oklahoma 45-35, they were 170 points behind Alabama for # 2 in the AP Poll, 150 points behind them in the Coaches Poll, and 40 points behind them in the Harris Poll (The last two polls are factored in for the BCS Standings). The difference between the two puts Alabama in the # 1 spot for the time being, but only slightly.
# 2. Texas - With an exceptional win against # 1 Oklahoma, the Longhorns move up to # 2 in the nation. Colt McCoy had a magnificent game and brought Texas back multiple times to finally overtake the Sooners in the fourth quarter and hold on for the win. Next up, it doesn't get any easier. The Longhorns have to take on a vicious Missouri team who is coming off a loss to Oklahoma State and is looking for vengeance.
# 3. Penn State - One of the most dominating wins from the weekend was by the Nittany Lions. Joe Pa's boys went into Camp Randall Stadium and proceeded to blow Wisconsin out of the water on their home field 41-7. They await Ohio State in two weeks in a matchup that will virtually decide the Big Ten Championship.
# 4. USC - The first one-loss team to sneak back into the title picture is USC. They blanked Arizona State this weekend 28-0 and, with help from a Texas Tech team who very nearly coughed up a win at home against Nebraska, jump up to the # 4 spot this week. If all goes well and USC can walk through what is left of the Pac 10, which is very possible thanks to a fairly favorable schedule and the unfavorable schedules of the teams in front of them, they very well could be in the National Championship game at the end of all this.
# 5. Texas Tech - Although they almost lost at home to Bo Pelini's Cornhuskers on Saturday, Texas Tech's defense stood up when it counted, and their offense was dominant as usual putting up 37 points in a 37-31 win in overtime. However, the Red Raiders start a streak of four games against Top 25 teams in just two weeks against Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma State, and Oklahoma. Rough road for the Raiders.
There you have it. My Top 5 for week 7. Feel free to leave any comments and give your arguements as to why your team should be ranked higher or another team should be ranked lower.
