The Division I-A Coaches' Top 25 Poll (snicker, snicker)

Someone needs to send these guys a wake-up call -- or the most recent scores and summaries.

Oregon trounces California, 42-3. The Ducks are rewarded with a 25th place selection, while the Golden Bears tumble to #19 from #6. There are no mitigating or other factors when you lose to a team by 39 points. Plain and simple, you're not as good as them. Cal should be ranked 6 places below, not above, Oregon.

Iowa shocks Penn State
, 21-10, beating them for the 7th time in their last 8 meetings. (Shocking only in the bubble world of sports.) Iowa (4-0) enters the top 25 at #17, and Penn State (3-1) falls 9 places to #13.

South Carolina dispenses with a laughably overrated Mississippi.
South Carolina (3-1) picks up enough votes to be bubbling under the top 25 at #29, but 2-1 Mississippi's free fall hits a small ledge at #18.

And somehow, Florida State manages to pick up 4 votes.
