No Change. |
| 3 |
Clemson Tigers

No Change. |
| 4 |
LSU Tigers
|
No Change. |
| 5 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
+2 spots. The offense came alive this week and Notre Dame looked a lot more formidable. |
| 6 |
Stanford Cardinal
|
+4 spots. Another quality win (although USC doesn't seem like one anymore). |
| 7 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
-2 spots. Big test this week against Penn State in Happy Valley. |
| 8 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
No Change. |
| 9 |
West Virginia Mountaineers
|
No Change. Mountaineers rolled past a decent Kansas State team. Their overall resume is better than Oklahoma and they look better after this week. |
| 10 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
-4 spots. An overtime struggle with Army in Norman won't buy you any style points. |
| 11 |
Auburn Tigers
|
No Change. |
| 12 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
Debut. Kentucky continues to impress and grow in confidence. They took down a strong Mississippi State team last week. Could they be a real threat to Georgia in the East? |
| 13 |
Washington Huskies
|
+3 spots. The Huskies won a tough game with Herm's new look Sun Devils. Moving up as others fall. |
| 14 |
UCF Knights
|
+3 spots. Following the Huskies, UCF pushes their win streak to 16 and moves up. |
| 15 |
BYU Cougars
|
+4 spots. Easy week while others fell down. |
| 16 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
+2 spots. Miami handled FIU even if the final score looked close. |
| 17 |
Duke Blue Devils
|
+4 spots. The Coastal is open for grabs and Duke wants to get back to the ACC CG. |
| 18 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
+2 spots. Surviving in Kinnick Stadium is never easy. |
| 19 |
California Golden Bears
|
Debut. Their resume slid under the radar and I just noticed this week. Sorry guys. |
| 20 |
Colorado Buffaloes
|
+4 spots. The bye week of dreams for the Buffs. |
| 21 |
NC State Wolfpack
|
+4 spots. Went into the mountains and came back with a win. |
| 22 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Debut. Michigan punished Nebraska. |
| 23 |
Mississippi State Bulldogs
|
-10 spots. Tough road loss, but the Bulldogs are still a strong team and will look to straighten out this week. |
| 24 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
Debut. Surprise of the week? The Red Raiders went to Stillwater and put a hurtin' on the Cowboys. |
| 25 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Debut. Big win over TCU, only the second since the Horned Frogs joined the conference. Texas is trending and will want to win before their meetup with Oklahoma. |
