| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Clemson has beaten two conference opponents and a good SEC team. They don't have the best win of the season, but they haven't shown any reason to move them from the #1 spot. |
| 2 |
LSU Tigers
|
LSU has the best win of the season so far with their road win against Texas. They deserve the #2 spot. |
| 3 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Tide keeps rolling over South Carolina. We're basically talking a 1a, 1b, 1c with Clemson, LSU, and Bama at this point. |
| 4 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
I moved the Buckeyes to #4 this week. I thought the Cincinnati win from last week was impressive, and they stomped Indiana on the road yesterday. |
| 5 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
OSU has the better wins so far. |
| 6 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
I think OU has the best offense in football again. However, their body of work so far is the weakest of the Top 6 teams. |
| 7 |
Auburn Tigers
|
I'm still not sure Auburn is a Top 10 team, but they deserve to be rewarded for their win over Oregon until they prove otherwise. |
| 8 |
Utah Utes
|
I didn't see any reason to move Utah from their spot. |
| 9 |
Texas Longhorns
|
I think Texas is a Top 10 team, but they do have 1 loss. I feel comfortable putting them at 10 for that reason. |
| 10 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
I didn't see any reason to move the Irish during their bye. |
| 11 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
I think I was too low on Wisconsin last week. I feel better having them just shy of the Top 10. |
| 12 |
UCF Knights
|
Huge win for the Knights. Unfortunately, only one P5 opponent remains on their schedule. I'm a believer though. |
| 13 |
Florida Gators
|
I don't really know what to make of Florida. It's a shame what happened to Franks. I don't think they're a Top 15 team, but they do keep winning. |
| 14 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
First big test for Iowa, and they come out with the win. Move on up Hawkeyes. |
| 15 |
Oregon Ducks
|
I think I had Oregon a little high last week.  |
| 16 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
I had to drop Penn State a couple spots for that performance against Pitt. |
| 17 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
A&M has the best loss, but both of their wins are pretty weak. Looking forward to the match up against Auburn next week. |
| 18 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Michigan had a bye, but I dropped them two more spots. Mostly because other teams moved up. I'm real interested in seeing how wrong I am about Michigan when they play Wisconsin this week. |
| 19 |
Washington State Cougars
|
I think Houston is a good team, but this game was closer than I expected. I had to move the Cougars down a spot due to Iowa climbing for their win. |
| 20 |
California Golden Bears
|
Cal moves up because other teams move down. |
| 21 |
Arizona State Sun Devils
|
Big win for ASU. Firm for Herm. |
| 22 |
Boise State Broncos
|
I don't see any reason to move the Broncos this week. |
| 23 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
Road win over an SEC team.  |
| 24 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
I think Purdue is better than Oregon State, so I have them above the Cowboys. |
| 25 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
I don't see any reason to move the Pokes up for this week. |
