| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Saban & Joey Freshwater express. |
| 2 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
Great second half coaching adjustments. Impressive comeback over a strong Ole Miss team. OL needs to protect the QB a bit better. |
| 3 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Dropped two spots based on questionable coaching from Dabo. Alabama and FSU just seem like stronger top to bottom teams. |
| 4 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
|
| 5 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
|
| 6 |
Houston Cougars
|
Already had them at 10 in my preseason ballot. Their second half dominance of Oklahoma was the most impressive performance of the weekend. Hopefully they can keep Ward healthy all season. |
| 7 |
Stanford Cardinal
|
|
| 8 |
Washington Huskies
|
Climbed by default. |
| 9 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Chubb doing yeoman work. Climbed mostly by default. |
| 10 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
|
| 11 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
|
| 12 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
I only dropped Ole Miss a few spots. They looked really impressive in the first half against FSU, but their secondary injuries and inability to go up-tempo in the second half paved the way to a blown lead. |
| 13 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
|
| 14 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
Biggest Jump in my poll. Had to put them one spot in front of LSU and I didn't want to drop LSU any further than 16. |
| 15 |
LSU Tigers
|
They will have plenty of opportunities to climb back into the top 10, although I'm not a big believer in Cam Cameron's offense. |
| 16 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Big boost from their win against ND. Their revamped offense moved the ball well and their QB rotation reminded me of Leak/Tebow. |
| 17 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
|
| 18 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
Gave up 41 points to an FCS school. |
| 19 |
Michigan State Spartans
|
Struggled against a 4-7 FCS team, QB didn't make a second read all game, and the secondary looked questionable at best. I will give MSU a big boost if they can beat Notre Dame in week 3, but I think Kizer will carve up the Spartan defense with ease. |
| 20 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
|
| 21 |
Oregon Ducks
|
|
| 22 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
Still low on the Hawkeyes and their schedule doesn't offer many tests to prove otherwise. They are going to be a team who is not as good as their record indicates. |
| 23 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
|
| 24 |
Nebraska Cornhuskers
|
|
| 25 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
