Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Houston Cougars | Had probably the most impressive win in the country this week. |
2 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Absolutely shellacked USC, living up to the lofty expectations |
3 | Clemson Tigers | Had to hang on at the end, but notched a real good win on the road |
4 | Wisconsin Badgers | Scary good defense. Contained Heisman hopeful Fournette and LSU's offense became (more) one dimensional |
5 | Florida State Seminoles | Looked awful in the first half. Looked unbeatable in the second half. |
6 | Texas Longhorns | Solid win over a quality opponent. Probably the most entertaining game of the week |
7 | Stanford Cardinal | After one week, Ryan Burns looks like the real deal at QB. Solid defense as always |
8 | Georgia Bulldogs | Solid win here |
9 | BYU Cougars | Showed nice grit on the road |
10 | Texas A&M Aggies | Kyle Field looked a little louder than Rosen anticipated. Hung on to win in OT |
11 | Washington Huskies | Decent win against an overmatched Rutgers |
12 | Minnesota Golden Gophers | Despite the two-point conversion attempt late, a nice all around performance by the Gophers in game one for Claeys |
13 | West Virginia Mountaineers | Solid win over a P5 foe |
14 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Convincing win over one of the top teams in the MAC last year |
15 | South Carolina Gamecocks | A win is a win in conference, even if it is late |
16 | Colorado Buffaloes | Colorado State might not be the same under Bobo, but this win probably still feels good for the Buffaloes |
17 | Western Michigan Broncos | Knocked off Northwestern late for a big notch in their belts |
18 | Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets | Went a long way to get a conference win, but off to a good start after a late TD |
19 | Toledo Rockets | Solid win over a top Sun Belt team from last year |
20 | South Alabama Jaguars | Biggest statistical upset in the past several seasons. Huge win for them on the road, ok win in the grand scheme of things |
21 | Southern Miss Golden Eagles | I guess their win merits some credit after Kentucky falls flat in the second half |
22 | Army West Point | Scraping the bottom of the barrel after this point, but a win over a good Temple team from last year counts for something |
23 | TCU Horned Frogs | Struggled to pull away from one of the top tier FCS teams, but still have high hopes for the season |
24 | Iowa Hawkeyes | Decent win over a less than decent MAC school was still better than some of the other wins out there |
25 | Pittsburgh Panthers | Looked solid against an underwhelming opponent |
