| 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. |
