Post-Week Six Top 25 Rankings
Sports Illustrated

Some entertaining games took place in week six, and some...well, let's just say they weren't very competitive (looking at you, Rutgers). The updated AP Poll has been released, and now it's my turn to release my version of the rankings.

  1. Alabama
  2. Ohio State
  3. Clemson
  4. Michigan
  5. Washington
  6. Texas A&M
  7. Louisville
  8. Nebraska
  9. Wisconsin
  10. Baylor
  11. Tennessee
  12. Houston
  13. West Virginia
  14. Boise State
  15. Florida State
  16. Miami
  17. Virginia Tech
  18. Utah
  19. Ole Miss
  20. Western Michigan
  21. Florida
  22. Arkansas
  23. Oklahoma
  24. Auburn
  25. Navy

Florida State (+5) jumped the most in my updated rankings, with five teams (#17-21) climbing 4 spots. Houston (-6) and Miami (-6) took the biggest hits with their respected losses. Oklahoma, Auburn, and Navy entered the top 25, while Stanford, Colorado, and North Carolina dropped out.

Rivalry Week Breakdown

My top 7 matches the AP top 7. Nebraska (#8, #10 AP), Wisconsin (#9, #8 AP), and Baylor (#10, #11 AP) round out my top ten. I do not understand why the AP did not move Tennessee (#11, #9 AP) at all after they lost to A&M. Yes, it was a double-OT loss, but it does not validate keeping them in the top nine. Houston (#12, #13 AP) suffered a huge loss vs Navy (#25, #25 AP), essentially eliminating them from the CFB Playoff.

West Virginia (#13, #20 AP) continues to get overlooked by the AP. Boise State (#14, #15 AP) cracks the top 15, sneaking past both Florida State (#15, #14 AP) and Miami (#16, #16 AP) - who played each other pretty much even in an intense rivalry game. I have Virginia Tech at the same spot as the AP (#17). I like Utah at #18 (#21 AP), but I still think the AP loves Ole Miss (#19, #12 AP) too much. Western Michigan (#20, #24 AP), Florida (#21, #18 AP), Arkansas (#22, #22 AP), Oklahoma (#23, #19 AP), Auburn (#24, #23 AP), and Navy finish off my rankings.

Do you agree or disagree with my rankings? We are now nearing the halfway point of the season, and the playoff picture is slowing starting to come into focus. Every game is important, and some have playoff implications. Here are the best games in week seven:

Kansas State @ Oklahoma - 11:00 AM on ESPN

Alabama @ Tennessee - 2:30 PM on CBS

North Carolina @ Miami - 2:30 on ABC

Ole Miss @ Arkansas - 6:00 PM on ESPN

Arizona State @ Colorado - 7:00 PM on PAC12 Network

Ohio State @ Wisconsin - 7:00 PM on ABC

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
