The Bottom 10 Welcomes Oklahoma

[Iceland12]

1. Colora-duh (0-5)​

The good news? The Buffs didn't lose this week. The bad news? It's because they didn't play. The worse news? When the team got together for breakfast during its off weekend, the Buffs ran out of butter and jelly, which meant they still failed to cover the spread.

2. Huh-Why?-Yuh (1-5)​

Speaking of covering spreads, Hawai'i went to San Diego State as a 24-point underdog but lost by only two. Now the Rainbow Warriors embark on a schedule that might very well be the road to a Bottom 10 title, if by "road" you mean a waterslide where the water has been replaced with WD-40. That thrill ride begins with a trip two weeks from now to second-ranked-turned-Waiting-Lister Colora-duh State, and then two weeks after that with an ocean hop over to ...

3. Fres-No State (1-5)​

Speaking of two-week increments, just two weeks ago the Bullfrogs weren't even in these rankings. Now they have spent the past two weeks in the top half of them. That's what happens when you lose to UCan't after kicking off as a 23-point favorite, then lose to Boise State when it's 20-20 in the third quarter and you proceed to surrender 20 unanswered points. Plus, there was a very natural segue to go from Hawai'i to Fresno and I am way too lazy to CTL+C them anywhere else in the standings.

4. UMess (1-5)​

The Minutemen lost to Liberty. Speaking of CTL+C, copy that sentence into an email and send it your least favorite history teacher just to watch their head explode.

5. BOO!-mer Sooner (3-3)​

Now for sale on the State Fair of Texas midway: deep-fried Schooners.

6. Akronmonious (1-5)​

Over the past two weekends, the once-packed MAC faction of one-win teams has been cut in half, from six to three. That roster is guaranteed to be shortened by at least one again this week when the Zips host Not Eastern Or Western But Central Michigan in the Pillow Fight of the Week Episode VI: The MACtion Menace. If the Zips lose this one, then all of this feels like one big countdown to the final weekend of the season, when Akron hosts the other current one-win MAC team, Northern Ill-ugh-noise.=

7. Boiling Green (2-4)​

But ... wait ... if there are two other one-win MAC teams not in these rankings, then how can we justify having a two-win MAC team ranked above/below them? Two words: Extra. Effort..

8. North by Northworstern (1-5)​

You might assume the Mildcats would have a fighting chance this weekend against Iowa, a team that never scores actual touchdowns, but keep in mind Northwestern just lost 42-7 to Wisconsin, a team that doesn't have an actual head coach.

9. Charlotte 1-and-5ers​

Speaking of head coaches, a heads-up to Charlotte administrators. If someone starts knocking on your office door, saying, "Candygram," it's probably Matt Rhule from down the street.

10. Whew Mexico State (1-5)​

The Other Aggies host the Only Lobos in the 112th edition of the game known as the Battle of I-25, named for the highway that connects Las Cruces to Albuquerque. When this game was first played in 1894, it was called the Battle of Oh Damn Our QB Just Got Bit By A Rattlesnake On The Trail.

Waiting list: Colora-duh State, Michigan State Sparse-uns, CMU Chippendales, Northern Ill-ugh-noise, US(not C)F, Strandford, FI(notA)U, Temple of Doom, Livin' on Tulsa Time, the Mets.

Bottom 10: The Sooner this season is over, the better

Well, Colorado didn't lose this week, but even that can't keep the Buffs from the top of the Bottom 10. But Oklahoma's performance against Texas was impossible to ignore.
