| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Well that's what I get for bumping Clemzun up to #1 |
| 2 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Easily the second-most proven team in the country |
| 3 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
I didn't know Big 12 teams were allowed to play defense? |
| 4 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Gets a bye week boost from Boston College |
| 5 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Maybe they are a Top 5 team, if only because other teams refuse to keep winning |
| 6 |
Virginia Tech Hokies
|
Win over WVU gets a small boost, but the Clemson loss hurts a lot. |
| 7 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
Team continues to look steady |
| 8 |
Clemson Tigers
|
oof ow my ranking |
| 9 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Still haven't seen how this team fares against a stout opponent.  That'll change in two weeks |
| 10 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
Still held back by their weak schedule |
| 11 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Loss is starting to look a little better, and the win over Ohio State is crucial |
| 12 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
They can't keep getting away with it |
| 13 |
USC Trojans
|
The Wazzu loss stings a bit now |
| 14 |
