| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Alabama is the only team without any weaknesses thus far |
| 2 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
exceptionally more dynamic in week 2. Went from a conservative offense to opening it up against a decent UAB team and with a second string QB. |
| 3 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Nothing wrong with winning 76-0. Certainly helped shake off the close call week 1. |
| 4 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Yes it is South Carolina St. Clemson looked dominant plain and simple. Hard to use a team like South Carolina State as much of a measuring stick though.  |
| 5 |
Oregon Ducks
|
What a win and without some of the best players on defense. Ducks offense took control. Passing defense is now questionable. Unsure if that was on Oregon's Defense or Stroud is just a great QB |
| 6 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
A theme here this week is dominant defense. Iowa looked unfazed against a good Iowa State team and really made Iowa State struggle. |
| 7 |
Cincinnati Bearcats
|
Not much info to pull from Murray State and Miami Ohio. Both resounding wins. Notre Dame, UCF, Tulane, and Tulsa will decide Cincinnati's fate this year. |
| 8 |
UCLA Bruins
|
From my prior poll, UCLA has stayed put while on a bye. |
| 9 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 10 |
Florida Gators
|
Good win over USF - allowed for 17 points in the second half. Emory Jones appears very concerning at QB only putting up 150 yards and 2 ints though. I do not believe this is the same Florida from last year. |
| 11 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Offense looked spectacular, almost 500 yards through the air. Terrible defensive showing. Something needs to change in Columbus, this does not look like last year's team. |
