Welcome to the 2002-2003 football season.  Whim sports 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 9

1. San Diego Chargers- Having an extra week of rest under their belts, the Chargers look to walk over the Jets on their way to the playoffs.

2. Miami Dolphins- Also had a bye this past week, but they needed the practice after coming off of a loss to Buffalo.  The Dolphins have their work cut out as they get ready to play the Pack at Green Bay.

3. Green Bay Packers- It looks like Favre will be back this Monday night against the Dolphins.  The Packers have won 5 straight; will they keep it going?

4. Denver Broncos- They sent the Patriots home with 4 straight losses this weekend.  The Broncos will have a bye this week and will face Oakland on November 11th.

5. Philadelphia Eagles- An old rivalry played out on Monday night as the G-Men fizzled and fell to the Eagles.  I'm also going to name my second kid Duce.

6. Pittsburgh Steelers- Took advantage of "No Ray Lewis" Sunday in Baltimore and showed everyone who the king of the AFC North is for the time being.

7. San Francisco 49ers- Have to play at Oakland this weekend.  We will see what the Raiders corners can do against Jeff Garcia and Terrell Owens.

8.  New Orleans Saints- Vick showed 'em that he is the man after he beat his cousin Aaron Brooks this weekend.  NO looks to regain some ground at Carolina in 2 weeks.

9.   Oakland Raiders- Have lost 3 in a row!  The men in black need a win against the 49ers really bad.

10. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Coming off a win at Carolina, the Bucs will have a battle on their hands as Moss tries to show us he is still the man in Minnesota.

Top College Teams
Week 11

1. Miami- Despite B.S. from the BCS rankings released this week the Hurricanes are #1.

2. Oklahoma- Kicked back in the lazy boy this past weekend.  Colorado lies ahead and will be a game to watch.

3. Virginia Tech- For the second straight week the non-televised Hokies played way below par, they will need to be on there toes for a night game at home vs. Pitt.

4. Notre Dame- They relived an old rivalry and moved right on past the Noles last Saturday, they face a tough Boston College team this weekend.

5. Georgia- They have to get past Florida this weekend, but if they do look for the Bulldogs to finish the season undefeated.

6. Ohio State- Squeeked by PSU for a solid win, they face another tough team in Minnesota this week.

7. Texas- After running all over a real tough Iowa St. team, the Longhorns don't face a whole lot for the rest of the season.  They will have to sit back and see how everything unfolds for the BCS.

8. Iowa- Routed Michigan and they look to keep it up for the remaining season.  Hawkeyes are flat out nasty.

9. N.C. State- They proved again this past Thursday that they can't be beaten.  Two more ACC teams to reckon with lie ahead: Maryland and... oh yeah!  Florida State.

10. Colorado- Face Oklahoma on Saturday, it'll be a game... who knows?
