Every week Sports Examiners across the nation throw their hat into the ring of top 25 college football projections.

The University of Southern California football team was able to pull out a victory against Arizona State this past Saturday and, in doing so, rose from the 12^th to 10^th position in our Examiner college football rankings.

For more information on the Trojans' performance against the Sun Devils check out the game summary and slideshow.

Up next for the Trojans is a homecoming game against the Stanford Cardinal. It should be an exciting match up between the two teams, especially after the Cardinal knocked off the Oregon Ducks, 51-42, this past Saturday.

Now, on to the Examiner.com week ten rankings. You can find Examiner's Top-25 HERE:

Below is how I voted this week (with analysis, bonus sarcasm and EXCLUSIVE Song Girl slideshow):

1. Florida (No surprise here)
2. Alabama (No surprise here)
3. Texas (No surprise here)
4. Cincinnati (Bearcats barely beat the Huskies, remain #4 in my top 25)
5. TCU (Unbeaten Horned Frogs getting ornery after latest win. In other news the BCS is a mess)
6. Boise State (Broncos rally to beat Louisiana Tech. That's a punchline right?)
7. USC (Trojans light Dennis Erickson's pants on fire with their latest victory, hilarity ensues)
8. Georgia Tech (Tech head coach Paul Johnson takes a page from the Herm Edwards playbook. Unlike Herm, Johnson's team wins the game)
9. LSU (With Lane Kiffin and Urban Meyer earning the ire of the officiating world with their criticism of SEC officials, Les Miles employs the butt-kissing method)
10. Pittsburgh (Pitt Panthers continue the growing “Intercepting Greg Paulus Tradition" with two interceptions of? You guessed it, Greg Paulus)
11. Houston (Cougars win 46-45 barn-burner against Tulsa. Just give Keenum the Heisman now. QB goes all 40-of-60 passing for 522 yards, has now passed for 1,081 yards and 8 TDs in the past two games)
12. Ohio State (“The Vest” bests Old Man Paterno in Big Ten showdown)
13. Oregon (Oregon, what the hell happened? Just when you have it all, you go and “LeGarrette” your season, again.)
14. Miami (FL) (Hurricane spank Cavaliers, 52-17. Cooper is super)
15. Iowa (Hawkeyes, what the hell happened?)
16. Utah (Utes have a chance to mute the Horned Frogs' BCS hopes this Saturday. As Nike would say, Just Do It)
17. Arizona (Wildcats rough up Pac-10 punching bag Cougars, face a Best-less California Golden Bears team next)
18. Oklahoma St (Kiss it goodbye, the Dez Bryant edition)
19. Penn State (See #12 Ohio State)
20. Virginia Tech (Hokies finally rebound with victory after two-game slide)
21. Wisconsin (Wisconsin girds for Michigan. Wait, don't you mean curds for Michigan? Get it curds, cheese...Wisconsin? Ok, I'm done)
22. South Florida (Feeling Bullish because of the bye, check out this full-of-bull clip)
23. Stanford (Welcome back Cardinal. More specifically welcome back Toby Gerhart, you running machine, you)
24. Clemson (Clemson Tigers' head coach is not impressed by your stupid ranking)
25. Oregon State (Wooooo! Beaver alert! Oregon State is your cellar-dweller of the week.)

Now on to the main event...
