Shark Championship Standings VII

Phew, I'm finally back to posting on the site. Been a busy two weeks. I haven't done anything, really. But I assure you it's been busy.

That, coupled with the fact that I really haven't had anything interesting at all to say, means you haven't heard from me a lot lately.

I assure you, I'm back.

It starts now with the SCS. Only two polls left after this week before we crown the first ever SCS Champion.

Also this week you can look forward to me ranting like a lunatic about this afternoons Giants game, and the upcoming Giants-Cowboys showdown (the loser might miss the playoffs). And I'll have a review of the NIT Championships from this past Friday, which will include my abbreviated ncaa bball season preview, and a story on the coolest 10 year old ever.

But for now, onto the SCS.

Four "guest pollsters" this week (Pat, Mark, Scott & Andrew), as well as Logan, Tom, Matt & myself.

Makes for our highest total ever, a poll based on 195 points. And yes, you guessed it, once again USC has gotten all 195 possible points as they now have a strangle-hold on first place.

For the second week in a row we've seen a voter submit the Longhorns as the #3 team in the country.

Penn State is actually closer in voting to Texas than Texas is to USC.

And Virginia Tech is closer to LSU than LSU is to Penn State.

So it's starting to get interesting.

There seems to be a clear Top 13, and after that, everyone has two different teams in their 14th & 15th slots, which is also interesting.

But enough rambling, here is this weeks SCS Top 15:

1. USC 11-0 195 (last week: 1)
2. Texas 11-0 181 (lw: 2)
3. Penn State 10-1 168 (lw: 4)
4. LSU 10-1 153 (lw: 3)
5. Virginia Tech 10-1 139 (lw: 5)
6. Notre Dame 9-2 122 (lw: 6)
7. Ohio State 9-2 121 (lw: 7)
8. Oregon 10-1 97 (lw: 8)
9. Miami 9-2 83 (lw: 10)
10. Auburn 9-2 82 (lw: 8)
11. Georgia 9-2 64 (lw: 12)
12. West Virginia 9-1 60 (lw: 11)
13. UCLA 9-1 52 (lw: 12)
14. TCU 10-1 17 (lw: 14)
15. Alabama 9-2 14 (lw: 15)

Also Receiving Votes: Louisville (9), Michigan (2), Florida (1)

Next week will be the last SCS released until after the polls are over. Also, released simultaneously with next weeks SCS will be the announcement regarding the first ever Thesharkey.com College Bowl Challenge.
