NCAA 3 Up, 3 Down

Here are you risers and fallers:

3 UP

1. Boise State- Another win means that they are in the top 5. Could they be smelling a BCS championship bid?

2. Alabama- They may be the best team in the country. They shut down Ryan Mallet and the Razorbacks

3. Syracuse- True, it was only Maine, but the Orange are at .500 for the first time since 2006.

Bonus- The Big East- Rutgers beats Maryland, Cinncy beats Fresno St., and USF goes into Tallahassee and beats Florida State. A great weekend for the Big East. Which conference doesn't deserve an autobid?


3 Down

1. Top 10 teams- Penn State, Ole Miss and Cal all gave a great argument for why preseason polls should not exist. 3 collective eggs there. Speaking of laying an egg...

2. The U- Miami was actually favored heading into Blacksburg. So much for that. Let's hope now that everyone doesn't over-react to VaTech beating an overrated team and rocket them back up to #6 or so... wait, that happened already.

3. Tim Tebow's head- That looked like a painful play. A completely clean hit, mind you. Tebow needs to blame his teammate's knee if he does not deliver in the Bayou on October 10th.
