Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Alabama Crimson Tide | |
2 | LSU Tigers | LSU's win over Miami looks great today after Miami's 77-0 win this weekend. |
3 | Georgia Bulldogs | Georgia went to South Carolina and kicked ass. Impressive win. |
4 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Notre Dame looked sluggish against Ball State, but their win over Michigan is a good one. Michigan dominated their opponent this weekend. |
5 | Auburn Tigers | Auburn looked dominant against an FCS school. Their win over Washington will be a good one all year. |
6 | Stanford Cardinal | Stanford manhandled USC this weekend and looks like the team to beat in the PAC. |
7 | West Virginia Mountaineers | Still high on their whooping of Tennessee. |
8 | Ohio State Buckeyes | They're weak P5 opponents, but the buckeyes are killing people. A win over TCU this weekend could have Ohio State up at the top of my poll. (or maybe just behind Alabama). |
9 | Clemson Tigers | Got a tough win over Texas A&M to jump into the top 10. This is another team I expect to continue moving up my poll. Hard to know exactly how good Texas AM is at this point, but they looked solid. That could end up being a really good win.  |
10 | Arizona State Sun Devils | Sun Devils make a big jump into my poll with a win over Michigan State. Not sure MSU is a great team, but that's a pretty good win for this early in the year. ASU could be the team to beat in the Pac12 south.  |
11 | Kentucky Wildcats | Good win over Florida jumps Kentucky way up in my poll.  |
12 | Duke Blue Devils | Nice win over Northwestern, although NW doesn't look quite as good with Purdue's embarrassing loss. |
13 | Virginia Tech Hokies | Moved VT down a little bit since the FSU win doesn't look quite as impressive this week.  |
14 | California Golden Bears | Nice win over BYU, although BYU's win over Arizona is less impressive.  |
15 | Oklahoma Sooners | Laid a whooping on a bad UCLA team. |
16 | Mississippi State Bulldogs | impressive win on the road at Kansas State. |
17 | Colorado Buffaloes | Buffs got a good win on the road at Nebraska, after killing CSU. CSU win looks a little better after they beat Arkansas. |
18 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Penn State laid a beatdown on Pitt this weekend to rebound from their close call with App State. If Penn State continues winning like that, they'll move up fast. |
19 | Maryland Terrapins | Win over Texas still keeps them here. Texas struggled with Tulsa this week though, so that makes it a little less impressive. Could still be a nice win. |
20 | Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors | Hawaii is 3-0 with wins over Navy and CSU.  |
21 | TCU Horned Frogs | Beating up on scrubs so far. Big chance to move to the top of the polls this weekend if they beat Ohio State. |
22 | UCF Knights | Beating up on bad teams. |
23 | Boise State Broncos | Beating up on bad teams. Big chance for moving up this week with a game against Oklahoma State. |
24 | Wisconsin Badgers | Winning big but haven't played anyone yet. |
25 | Minnesota Golden Gophers | Nice win over Fresno State get Minnesota into my poll for now. |
