Max Weinberg, Springsteen's long-time drummer, formed the Max Weinberg 7, the house band for Conan O’Brien for over 15 years Perhaps to more notoriety, guitarist Steven Van Zandt became a household name with his starring turn as Silvio Dante in The Sopranos.

College Football Underdogs Are Shaking Up The Bowl Rankings

noreply@blogger.com (Ashlee McDonald) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 22:17:00 +0000

With just over a month remaining in the College Football season, the bowl rankings are really heating up. TCU's impressive win over Brigham Young on Saturday threw the Bowl Championship rankings into turmoil last night, placing the Horned Frogs above the Boise State Broncos. The two teams won’t meet each other on the field during the regular season, but they are each other’s toughest competition in the fight for a BCS berth. Both teams are considered underdogs in their quest to win a bowl berth without automatically qualifying based on their conferences.

Meanwhile, with five games left to play for each school, the championship game is still anyone’s berth, with several legacy teams vying for a spot along with the underdogs. Will #1 Florida defend their title? Their opponent in last year’s championship game, Oklahoma, has struggled this year, falling completely out of the rankings after tough losses to Brigham Young, Texas and Miami. Maybe #3 Texas will charge their way back into the top spot to return to the big BCS bowl for the first time since the memorable win over USC in 2006. Do #17 Ohio State and #9 LSU, the foes from 2007, have a shot at the big game? It would be tough to climb 17 spots to #1, but that’s the beauty of College Football – it’s anyone’s game!

Check out this week’s rankings:
#1 Florida
#2 Alabama
#3 Texas
#4 Iowa
#5 USC
#6 TCU
#7 Boise State
#8 Cincinnati
#9 LSU
#10 Oregon
#11 Georgia Tech
#12 Penn State
#13 Virginia Tech
#14 Oklahoma State
#15 Pittsburgh
#16 Utah
#17 Ohio State
#18 Houston
#19 Miami
#20 Arizona
#21 West Virginia
#22 South Carolina
#23 Notre Dame
#24 California
#25 Mississippi
