Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Beating the hell out of a very well hyped FSU team is not to be ignored. |
2 | Clemson Tigers | Absolute domination over Kent State. Will need to watch week 2 to see if they can continue doing this with sturdier opponents. |
3 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Blanked Akron.  |
4 | Oklahoma Sooners | Took an up-and-coming UTEP to the woodshed 56-7. |
5 | Wisconsin Badgers | Got a small scare from Utah State, then turned on the burners and got it done. |
6 | Michigan Wolverines | Hard-fought battle vs a well-prepared Florida. |
7 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | Tulsa really didn't stand a chance and the Cowboys didn't keep it close. They scored first, got their big lead and just ran with it all game. |
8 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Ohio State drops due to getting a real good scare from unranked Indiana. That score does NOT accurately tell how close that game was. |
9 | Auburn Tigers | Big win over GA Southern. |
10 | Florida State Seminoles | A loss, coupled with the loss of their star QB will hurt.  |
11 | LSU Tigers | BYU played WAY better than they had against Portland State in the previous week, but LSU in their first game still beat em pretty handily. |
12 | Virginia Tech Hokies | Just watch their game vs WVU. |
13 | Stanford Cardinal | They beat the hell out of Rice....but it's Rice. |
14 | Kansas State Wildcats | Initially back and forth, but found their groove and finally really took it to Central Arkansas. |
15 | West Virginia Mountaineers | Lost to VT in an incredible defensive battle of a game. WVU is a team to watch and 15 I think may be their low point for the season. |
16 | USC Trojans | Got a very serious scare from a Western Michigan team that no longer has PJ Fleck nor any of his recruits. |
17 | Washington Huskies | They got a scare from Rutgers. Yeah. Rutgers. |
18 | Louisville Cardinals | The Purdue Spoilermakers very nearly lived up to their name, but were instead only one score away. |
19 | Florida Gators | Only TDs for the Gators were scored by the Defense, and they seemed to run out of steam in the third quarter. They are playing a young team, but with their schedule they could be in trouble. |
20 | Georgia Bulldogs | Appy State scares again, but at least Georgia pulled away. |
21 | Washington State Cougars | Solid win.  |
22 | Maryland Terrapins | Showed their teeth in a game against a ranked Texas and won. |
23 | Miami Hurricanes | |
24 | USF Bulls | |
25 | Iowa Hawkeyes | Iowa played very well against a team touting one of the best rated QBs in the country, and beat them pretty handily. Look for Iowa to surprise everyone. |
