Jarrett's Top Ten
Jarrett Hairston | Staff Writer
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 4
1. New England (3-0) - Tom Brady passed for 410 yars this week as the
Patriots beat the Chiefs 41-38. 2. Miami (3-0) - Ricky Williams ran wild against the Jets on Sunday. I
think he's VERY happy in Miami. 3. Denver (3-0) - Clinton Portis picked up the slack for the injured Olandis Gary. In doing so, he rushed for 103 yards. Not bad for the rookie. 4. Oakland (2-0) - They were idle this week. They did nothing to lose
their spot. 5. New Orleans (3-0) - The Saints come back from a 20-point deficit to beat Chicago, 29-23. I thought Chicago were the "comeback kids." 6. San Diego (3-0) - San Diego beat the Arizona Cardinals this week to stay undefeated. Curtis Conway had 92 yards receiving. 7. Carolina (2-0) - They move up this week because of their win over
Minnesota. They are much improved over last year. 8. Philadelphia (2-1) - Destroyed the Cowboys yesterday, 44-13. The Eagles looked very impressive. I still don't know how they lost to the Titans. 9. New York Giants - They have won 2 straight games after losing to San
Francisco. It hasn't been pretty but they have gotten the job done.
Top College teams- Week 6 1. Miami - There was no doubt this year. They beat Boston College soundly at the Orange Bowl. McGahee became a Heisman candidate during this game. 2. Florida State - They move up because Tennesse got annihilated by
Florida. They play Louisville this Thursday. They will score at least 40 points. 3. Virginia Tech - After beating Texas A&M, 13-3, at Kyle Field. Everyone is jumping on the Hokie bandwagon, again. The Hokies played three top 25 teams in a row this year, and beat all three soundly. At Strength of Schedule isn't a problem this year. 4. Oregon - Oregon beat Portland State this week, 41-0. Onterrio Smith
rushed for 115 yards this week. 5. Ohio State - They fall from #3 last week to #5 this week because they barely beat Cincinatti. I know it's an instate rival, but Cincinatti? I know Maurice Clarett was hurt, but that's no excuse. 6. Georgia - Didn't miss Shockley too much this week because they trounced Northwestern State 45-7. 7. 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. 8. Oklahoma - See Texas. 9. Florida - They are back in the top 10 after beating Tennessee on the
road, 30-13. So I guess this means Florida will win the SEC. Who knows? 10. Notre Dame - I like Tyrone Willingham. He's doing good things at ND. The media just LOVES Notre Dame for some reason. They will go to a BCS bowl if he wins 9 games this year. Is it fair? No. Will it happen? Most likely.
