Houston stumbles at Navy - how far will they fall?

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.

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

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
