Who’s the Best Team in College Football? October 14, 2007

The question above isn’t so easy to answer with USC being upset by Stanford last week, and the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the country being upset this week.
No. 1 ranked LSU found out that their running game can actually be stopped as they were upset by No. 17 Kentucky in triple overtime. LSU still had a chance to win it late in the game after a touchdown and a failed two point conversion by Kentucky. However, the Tigers couldn’t get a first down after attempting four straight running plays, and came up a yard short on 4th and 2.
The California Golden Bears, ranked No. 2 in the nation, faced the Oregon State Beavers at home. The Bears were led by redshirt freshmen Kevin Riley who played fairly well, considering it was his first collegiate start. It was Riley however, who cost the Bears the game, as he attempted to run instead of throwing the ball away, which kept the the clock running and didn’t allow enough time for Cal to set up for the game tying field goal to send the game into overtime.
With some of the best college teams being upset by some of the most unlikely opponents, this is has to be the hardest question to answer in sports… Who is the best team in College Football?
