B.B. Baker's Dozen

It was a quiet week in college football. Yeah, the diehards would probably disagree with Boston College getting bounced out of the BCS picture, VA. Tech dropping UVA and other battles altering the bowl landscape, but I still think it was a pretty quiet Saturday. You know the college football season is all but done when ESPN starts showing poker in the middle of a Saturday afternoon.

About the only thing of note was that USC's Matt Leinart finally had a Heisman caliber game. While I know the media (hello, Lee Corso) will instantly elevate the Trojans' quarterback to the top two on their ballot (not that Corso ever had Leinart below his top spot), I still find that wrong. Regardless, here is my top 13 for this week.

1. Southern Cal- Irish awake Leinart.
2. Oklahoma- Colorado is Big XII Championship Game opposition.
3. Utah- Smith should get invite to Heisman Award Show.
4. Auburn- Nation's best D get Tennessee Saturday.
5. Texas- 'Horns are hoping for an upset or two.
6. California- Should Arrington be going to NYC, too?
7. Louisville- Nation's best offense rolls, again.
8. Boise State- Destined for second tier bowl at best.
9. Miami- Beat Va. Tech, go to BCS game.
10. Iowa- Capital One Bowl Bound. Doesn't Citrus Bowl sound better?
11. , 12. & 13. The Field- No one emerged from this group.
