Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Still terrifying. |
2 | Georgia Bulldogs | Great win for them against a good Gamecocks team. I figured they would win but it was a better-than-expected performance against a potential trap opponent. |
3 | Oklahoma Sooners | Also still terrifying after routing UCLA, but with Rodney Anderson being lost for the season and Marquise Brown potentially hurt all of a sudden things are more in flux. |
4 | Clemson Tigers | No change for now since Texas A&M looked pretty good in their quality loss, but letting the Aggies come back put them in a little bit of peril of falling out of the top 4. |
5 | Ohio State Buckeyes | They've beaten two cupcakes handily, now here comes the test. Beat TCU on a field in Texas amid all the controversy and it probably puts them in the top 4 if not top 3. |
6 | Auburn Tigers | Not much to say, they handled business as expected. We'll know a lot more after they face LSU. |
7 | Wisconsin Badgers | How about Jonathan Taylor? Wish I had him in fantasy. They're starting to look very well put together after 2 games in. |
8 | Stanford Cardinal | I'm conflicted here. On the one hand Stanford won against USC, but it wasn't all that pretty or telling of a win. USC has looked very vulnerable the last 2 games and I dropped them out of my top 25 altogether. Bryce Love did look somewhat like himself again, but his Heisman campaign is off to a rocky start. On the other hand holding USC to 3 points was impressive, and defeating a conference foe in week 2 is pretty darn good. So... for now they're here, but I'm not expecting them to stay here.  |
9 | LSU Tigers | Won when they should have. Now to face a much harder foe in Auburn. |
10 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Now that's a good say to rebound from a shaky start. On the road at an in-state rival, hostile environment, adverse conditions, and still putting up 51. Plenty of room to climb if they keep that up. |
11 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | The Irish turned it over 3 times, and Ball State had more first downs. The game was never really in question but I expected more against the Cardinals. |
12 | Washington Huskies | |
13 | Virginia Tech Hokies | |
14 | Boise State Broncos | |
15 | TCU Horned Frogs | |
16 | UCF Knights | |
17 | West Virginia Mountaineers | |
18 | Mississippi State Bulldogs | |
19 | Oregon Ducks | |
20 | Michigan Wolverines | |
21 | Miami Hurricanes | Even if it was an FCS foe, putting up 77 is still a good way to help give your offense confidence, and shutting out your opponent is always a good sign. |
22 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | |
23 | Arizona State Sun Devils | They looked competent, but how bad is Michigan State, really? |
24 | Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors | The Run n' shoot is back, and as long as they keep putting up these numbers the Warriors will be back too. |
25 | Texas A&M Aggies |
