Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Alabama Crimson Tide | I don't think Alabama could have played a more complete game of football than they did against Vanderbilt. Bama played on another level this week, and god help us if that team continues to show up. |
2 | Clemson Tigers | Clemson hops Oklahoma after cruising to an easy win over Boston College. |
3 | Oklahoma Sooners | Baylor played much better than anyone expected, but barely beating a winless team causes Oklahoma to drop a spot. |
4 | Michigan Wolverines | Nobody really seems to want this number 4 spot, but Michigan did the best job taking care of business against Purdue. Still very close with USC, Washington, and Penn State for this spot. |
5 | USC Trojans | The final scoreline against Cal doesn't tell the whole story here, as the game was closer that 10 points seems to suggest. |
6 | Washington Huskies | Washington's offense continues to look good, but it will need to keep on dominating with a weak schedule. |
7 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Penn State needed every single second to pull out a victory over Iowa. Good win, but not impressive enough to warrant a top 5 spot. |
8 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Ohio State just keeps taking care of business, they are going to need some help from other teams to climb. |
9 | Georgia Bulldogs | Georgia took control early and beat down a hot Miss St team. This team should be the favorite in the SEC East. |
10 | Wisconsin Badgers | Wisconsin got the week off so they will hang out at the same spot. |
11 | Washington State Cougars | Washington St crushed Nevada, but will need to stay undefeated to keep climbing. |
12 | TCU Horned Frogs | Huge win for TCU over Ok St, gives the Horned Frogs a 4 place bump. |
13 | Virginia Tech Hokies | Good news is that Techs defense looks great, bad news is that it was against Old Dominion. |
14 | Louisville Cardinals | Louisville rebounds offensively, but will have to win out to get a shot to move up. |
15 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | Tough loss to TCU drops the Cowboys way down, but they will get a big opportunity against OU in the coming weeks. |
16 | Miami Hurricanes | Miami gets back on the field with an easy game against Toledo. Best team in Florida right now. |
17 | West Virginia Mountaineers | WVU just has to keep winning games to stay in the rankings, but early troubles against Kansas do not bear confidence. |
18 | LSU Tigers | LSU squeaks out the win, but look for the Tigers to drop at least one more this year to Bama. |
19 | Florida Gators | Florida is living on borrowed time right not with last second wins against Tennessee and Kentucky. Maybe Del Rio will be the solution to their offensive woes. |
20 | San Diego State Aztecs | Aztecs get to hang around after a close win to Air Force. |
21 | USF Bulls | Welcome to the rankings USF, keep winning and they will stay in. |
22 | Utah Utes | Utah starts off 4-0 and looks to play in the Pac 12 after a narrow win over Oregon. |
23 | Auburn Tigers | Either Auburn has figured it out offensively, or Missouri's defense is just that bad. I lean towards the latter, but Auburn gets back into the rankings. |
24 | Iowa Hawkeyes | Iowa was one play away from sky rocketing into the polls, but couldn't get it done. |
25 | NC State Wolfpack |
