| 1 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Ohio State holds onto the top spot after a convincing win over Tulane. With 3 P5 wins on record, the best being over TCU, OSU has a good early resume. They have a big game ahead on their trip to Penn State this week. |
| 2 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Alabama closes the gap with OSU a bit for me this week with their win over A&M, but their Louisville win does not look as good now as it did last week. |
| 3 |
LSU Tigers
|
With a last second win @Auburn, LSU may have the best win in the country so far. I'm still not convinced how good Miami will be this year yet, however. |
| 4 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Notre Dame has played a few teams close so far, but if they can put it all together, they can be really good. Win over Michigan still looks good after the Wolverines pounded Nebraska. |
| 5 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Penn State has been lurking so far this year, despite putting up monster numbers on offense. They started slow against Illinois, and the defense is a bit of a concern up to this point. |
| 6 |
Stanford Cardinal
|
Stanford looked like they were about to be blown out on the road in Eugene before rallying to beat the Ducks in OT. The Cardinal look to be the team in control of their own fate in the Pac-12. |
| 7 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Oklahoma drops several spots this week after struggling to get by Army. It will be interesting if this is a warning sign for the Sooners heading into Big 12 play. |
| 8 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Clemson makes a change at QB this week before Syracuse comes to town. Right now, the Tigers resume just doesn't stack up against the other teams ahead of them. |
| 9 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
I think that Georgia could end up being really good this year, they just haven't had a chance to really showcase what they can do so far, in my opinion. |
