Welcome to the 2002-2003 football season.  Whim's sports section has compiled a group of our own columnists to pick the top 10 NFL Teams and College Football teams every week.

TOP NFL TEAMS
Week 3

1. New England (2-0) - I cannot believe that they were an underdog this week against the Jets.  They are looking to repeat this year as Super Bowl Champs and they are off to a great start.

2. Miami (2-0) - They are looking very good this year.  After a win again the Lions last week, they were still skeptics out there.  Hopefully, those skeptics have been silenced after their win against Indianapolis.

3. Denver (2-0) - Beat the Niners this week, 24-14.  They have an outstanding backfield with Olandis Gary, Mike Anderson (who moved to fullback this season), and Clinton Portis.

4. Oakland (2-0)  - Absolutely destroyed the Steelers, 30-17.  Whoa! These guys are looking good this year.  Not bad for being this oldest team in the league.

5. New Orleans (2-0) - They beat Tampa Bay, and this week Green Bay is the victim.  They don't appear to miss Ricky Williams at all;  Deuce McAllister is getting the job done.

6. San Diego (2-0) - San Diego goes here because they beat the Texans and they are undefeated.  The Texans are better than some people are giving them credit for.  Junior Seau wants to win a Super Bowl ring badly!

7. Chicago (2-0) - Escaped Atlanta this week when their field goal kicker choked.  Seems like they are getting wins they same way they did last year... in the last 5 seconds of games!

8. Carolina  (2-0) - Next week they will play a tougher game.  It doesn't get much worse than Detroit and Baltimore.

9. Philadelphia (1-1) - Beat Washington at FedEx field, which is a tough place.  Next week, the Cowboys are coming to town and this will be barn burner.

10. Buffalo (1-1)  - They were extremely close to winning last week and this week they beat Minnesota in OT, 45-39.

Top 10 College Teams

1. Miami - I was surprised that they didn't put the hammer to Temple. 44-21?  They beat Florida worse than that.  Miami will be on cruise control until they play Tennessee.

2. Tennessee - They play Florida this week.  The SEC looks to be down this year so I am picking Tennessee to win it.

3. Florida State - Well they squashed Maryland this week.  They have one of the fastest defenses in the country.

4. Ohio State - Washington State was overrated.  Clarett is a stud RB-- he will be a Heisman contender going into next year.  Hard to believe he is a true freshman.

5. Virginia Tech -  Led by RBs Kevin Jones and Lee Suggs, VT is looking to come out of Texas A&M with a win.  It will NOT be easy, but it can be done.

6. Oregon -  Onterrio Smith is a beast.  I hope he wins the Heisman this year.  It would be interesting to see VT vs. Oregon in a BCS bowl this year: Battle of the 'Backs!

7. Georgia - They barely beat USC.  They will be out of the top 10 after this week due to DJ Shockley's injury.

8. Texas - Texas and Oklahoma will be interchangeable from week to week until they play each other.  I put them at the bottom of the top 10 because neither team has impressed me.

9. Oklahoma - See Texas.

10.  USC -  Beat Colorado.  Big whoop. This team is pretty good and they will play a good Kansas State team this week.
