And that team was South Carolina, who was ranked 24th heading into last night’s game. It was Vandy’s first such victory at home since 1992. While a short wave of BCS fever sweeps over the Nashville campus, it’s time to point and laugh at the second South Carolina team to soil itself on national television in five days. South Carolina is a program that Steve Spurrier still can’t seem to get into top gear. Well, I guess we can finally put the rumors to rest. There actually is at least one black guy playing for Vanderbilt.
Well the new AP Top 25 rankings are out, and there are 4 new teams in the Top 10 with Oklahoma climbing to #6, South Carolina to #7, West Virginia to #8, and Oregon to #9. The second tier of of ranks include the likes of Missouri (#11), Kentucky (#17), Illinois (#18), and Kansas (#20). Hmm, aren't these basketball schools? What's next - will DePaul bring back their football program and dominate NCAA football? Will I use my remaining 4 years of eligibility to lead the Blue Demons to the National Championship game with my patented guile and 'F' formation? Time will tell.
One other question about this so-called Top 25 - where the fuck is Notre Dame? They beat the mighty UCLA Bruins yesterday, so shouldn't they be like #7 now? I would advise all interested spectators not to use these ranks to place friendly wagers. Trust your asst. editor - fool me once, shame on you, fool me six times, and my legs are broken. -KD
