The Race to the Rose Bowl: Week 4

Sunday, September 25th, 2005

Arguably the biggest game of the week — the Tennessee Volunteers against the LSU Tigers — hasn’t even been played yet (it’s been rescheduled for Monday night), but the Coaches’ Poll is already out anyway.

Here are the horses after Week Four:

USC and Texas stay ahead of the pack, and Virginia Tech overtakes LSU for the third position. Louisville and Purdue drop out of the top ten and are replaced by one-loss teams Tennessee and Miami.

The SEC East is by far the toughest division of the toughest conference in college football. Let’s have a look conference representation in the top ten:

  • Pac-10: 1
  • Big 12: 1
  • Big 10:1
  • ACC: 3
  • SEC:4

Not only does the SEC have more teams in the top ten than any other conference with 4, but 3 of those teams are from the same division of the conference.

Crazy.
