The Top 24 - Week 7

qOur long national nightmare is finally over…the Top 24 is back! Contrary to popular opinion I did not go on a two-week bender after FSU’s heart-breaking loss to NC State that rendered all Championship aspirations for 2006 null and void. In fact, my life has been taken over by a 120-foot-ling curing oven at work. Now that the parts that are supposed to be hot are hot, and the parts that aren’t supposed to be hot aren’t, I can finally get back to the important things in life: namely creating lists arbitrarily ranking college football teams based on my own subjective opinions. Hoo-ray!
