Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Alabama Crimson Tide | They only allow 9.8 points per game. This is unreal. They are still my #1 team. Also a top 10 offensive team. They good. Change of last week: 0 |
2 | Georgia Bulldogs | That beat down of Florida did not look as great this week, but that road win at ND is still looking better and better. Beating a good SC team at home and they remain on my #2. Change of last week: 0 |
3 | Miami Hurricanes | Miami is 8-0 and with that beat-down of ranked VT they overtake Wisconsin for #3.Change of last week: +1 |
4 | Wisconsin Badgers | Their win over Northwestern is looking better, but because they have no ranked wins (they have a case next week vs Iowa to prove it) they lose a spot in this weeks poll.Change of last week: -1 |
5 | Oklahoma Sooners | Wow, Mayfield and Co put on a show.  If the Heisman ended today, i'd vote for Baker.  The Oklahoma defense was torched for 52 points, but their offense put up 10 more.  Oklahoma is the best 1 loss team in the country IMO.Change of last week: +2 |
6 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | That win vs Michigan State is getting better and they go toe to toe with Miami next week for a top 6 show down. I am a little concerned how much Wake forest was able to put up 37 points against a top 20 defense.  I think maybe ND played it safer rather than pour on the points, Change of last week: 0 |
7 | TCU Horned Frogs | Here is where my poll from last week looks different. TCU jumped so high because everyone in front of them(except UCF) lost.  The loss to Iowa State is still looming over their heads but it was away and by only a TD and to a ranked team.  I guess the AP poll has them at 8 which is prob closer to right, but this where i'm going to put em.Change from last week: +4 |
8 | UCF Knights | Still undefeated and while this week was a little rough for UCF against SMU, they still played a full game and won on the road to a decent SMU team.  I expect the next two games to be stompings.  This looks to be their limit unless there is a huge mix-up in the top 7 due to such weak competition teh next 2 weeks.  Change from last week: +2 |
9 | Washington Huskies | The first pac-12 team.  Doing this quietly after that disappointing loss to ASU, the Oregon game gave me hope they are still a great team.Change from last week: +5 |
10 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | Tough loss for OSU at home to Oklahoma.  They still have the number 1 offense in CFB, but I wish I could say it was in the same country as their defense.  They are still exciting to watch but we will see how they fair next week vs Iowa State.  Change from last week: -5 |
11 | Clemson Tigers | Tough matchup against NCSU, but Clemson pulled it together when it mattered and won the game.  I'm still not convinced that clemson is a playoff team, but they win the ACC and it will change my mind.  Change from last week: +1 |
12 | Auburn Tigers | Change from last week: +5 |
13 | USC Trojans | |
14 | Memphis Tigers | |
15 | Michigan State Spartans | |
16 | Ohio State Buckeyes | |
