• Analysis

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Alabama Crimson Tide	They have a QB. Everybody be afraid.
2	Oklahoma Sooners	What a crazy drubbing. They were almost my number 1, minus Alabama having a QB.
3	Clemson Tigers	Still looked good, but not as good as the two above them.
4	Georgia Bulldogs
5	Ohio State Buckeyes	That's a lot of points, but it's still only Oregon State.
6	Auburn Tigers
7	Wisconsin Badgers	They won, but it wasn't as impressive as the others here in terms of offense, which doesn't mean Wisconsin is bad by any means but we'll see what happens when they face tougher defenses.
8	Notre Dame Fighting Irish
9	LSU Tigers	That was a stout defense, but how much of their stoutness was actually Miami's offensive problems?
10	Stanford Cardinal
11	Washington Huskies	The Huskies played well, but I think they were over-ranked to begin with by most. I'm keeping them where they were.
12	USC Trojans
13	TCU Horned Frogs
14	UCF Knights	I saw nothing to tell me that UCF has taken much of a step back. It may have been UConn, but for a season opener in-conference that was pretty good.
15	Penn State Nittany Lions
16	Virginia Tech Hokies
17	West Virginia Mountaineers
18	Boise State Broncos	If anything was retained from last season, Troy is good. Boise State still drubbed them.
19	Mississippi State Bulldogs
20	Michigan State Spartans	I know Utah State. They aren't bad. They aren't that good either. Struggling against them isn't best.
21	Oregon Ducks
22	Michigan Wolverines
23	Utah Utes	59 yards allowed, and despite 4 turnovers still managed a 41 straight streak against a FCS playoff-caliber team. Still though, 4 turnovers.
24	Miami Hurricanes	That was pretty inept. Still ranked for this week, but if they don't have the offense sorted soon they're not going to be here any more.
25	Oklahoma State Cowboys	I think I should have had them in to start, but I'm cautious on them. They have a good offense, minus a good QB.
