JP Top 25: Week 14
Note: J.P. Giglio is one of 65 voters in the AP Top 25. This is his ballot.
• JP Top 25 archive
• AP Top 25, BCS rankings
There are times I want to throw out the entire voting process and just go with the eye test. Florida is the No. 1 team in the country based on what you see and who’s hot right now.
But the Gators lost at home and Texas lost on the road. Not to mention, Alabama plays in the same conference as Florida and is unbeaten. Those two will play Saturday, and I will put the winner No. 1 over the best Big 12 team — which in my opinion is Texas because, well, the Longhorns actually beat Oklahoma when the two played.
From the ACC, Georgia Tech (14) and Boston College (15) keep moving up.
1. Alabama 1
2. Texas 2
3. Florida 4
4. Oklahoma 3
5. Utah 6
6. Texas Tech 5
7. Penn State 7
8. Southern California 8
9. Boise State 9
10. Ohio State 11
11. TCU 12
12. Ball State 14
13. Cincinnati 17
14. Georgia Tech 18
15. Boston College 19
16. Oklahoma State 10
17. Ole Miss 21
18. Georgia 13
19. Oregon —
20. BYU 22
21. Michigan State 23
22. Northwestern 24
23. Pittsburgh —
24. Iowa 25
25. Oregon State 15
Out: Missouri (16), Florida State (20)

Mon, 12/01/2008 - 20:20 — TarHeelFan05Quote "at least the heels aren't in anyone's top 25 anymore. anybody who thought unc was one of the 25 best teams in the country is either biased or just ignorant. remember that team that the local media picked to go 1-11 this year? yeah, 41-10 baby!"
"as long as Carolina doesn't meet expectations, and we beat them our season is a success." Why must state fans base their season on what UNC does?" pitiful ..
where did your second quote
Tue, 12/02/2008 - 00:05 — mad_maxwhere did your second quote come from? oh? you made it up? excellent work sir. so, state fans are delusional and paranoid, yet you are the one that convinces yourself of make-believe quotes. nice one
the 2nd quote is the 1st
Tue, 12/02/2008 - 00:34 — TarHeelFan05the 2nd quote is the 1st quote shortened..
might as well said it..
hmm, somehow me talking
Tue, 12/02/2008 - 22:37 — mad_maxhmm, somehow me talking about my team exceeding expectations equates to me being more concerned with unc than my own team. great logic bud. you see, for the most part, it's not the players and coaches that we hate...it's the fans of unc that cause the hatrid
no too concerned with the
Mon, 12/01/2008 - 15:56 — mad_maxnot too concerned with the big 12/bcs screw-up this year. anyways, bama is gonna roll over any one of those teams after their done with the gators.
at least the heels aren't in anyone's top 25 anymore. anybody who thought unc was one of the 25 best teams in the country is either biased or just ignorant. remember that team that the local media picked to go 1-11 this year? yeah, 41-10 baby!
Local media?
Mon, 12/01/2008 - 19:20 — jpg (author)Who in the alleged local media picked State to go 1-11? I picked them to 6-6 and Tudor had 7-5.
Is there a mystery media outlet that covers N.C. State that I don't know about?
— JPG
the N&O isn't the only one
Tue, 12/02/2008 - 00:05 — mad_maxthe N&O isn't the only one around here that covers sports ya know. i visit/listen to 850 as wel. if you want a name, i definitely remember bomani jones saying the pack will finish 1-11.
yes JPG
Mon, 12/01/2008 - 20:50 — gvillegatrthere is another outlet in NC. It lives inside the brain of every NCSU fan and all the media outlet does all day is rot that same brain with an inferiority complex.
keep chiming in...as you can
Tue, 12/02/2008 - 00:02 — mad_maxkeep chiming in...as you can see i have specified exactly who i was talking about. but i guess you're gonna tell me that bomani jones is a made up name, and that it's all in my head. that's all you've got, and its getting old.
thank you
Mon, 12/01/2008 - 13:31 — gvillegatrfor putting Texas ahead of OU. anyone who does not simply has a bias against Texas or Mack. I do not like either, but can put dislike over self for what should have happened.
Some will say "who needs a playoff when the playoff is clearly the regular season." To those people, I give you OU and Texas in Dallas (neutral field) where texas won 45-35. And, tell me, who is playing for the Big XII championship game again??
