| 7 |
Oregon Ducks

| 8 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
Iowa is 6-1. Only loss it to Purdue. Best wins are over Penn State (5-1) and Iowa State (4-2). This team may be a little overrated in my poll, but I think their resume demands ranking here. They are in trouble if they dont force turnovers.  |
| 9 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Penn State is 5-1. Only loss is to Iowa. Best win is over Auburn (5-2). That win is looking pretty solid after back to back big wins for Auburn.  |
| 10 |
Baylor Bears
|
Baylor is 6-1. Only loss is to Oklahoma State. Best wins are over BYU (5-2) and Iowa State (4-2) |
| 11 |
NC State Wolfpack
|
NC State is 5-1. Only loss is to Miss St. Have wins over Clemson (4-2) and Boston College (4-2) |
| 12 |
San Diego State Aztecs
|
San Diego state I have a hard time ranking. They are 6-0. Their best win is over Utah (4-2) who is now the top in the Pac-12 South. Outside of that, they haven't played anyone. Next week they play Air Force (6-1). A win there would push them up in my rankings.  |
| 13 |
Michigan State Spartans
|
Michigan State is 7-0, but like Michigan hasn't really beaten anyone. Next game is against Michigan, so we will see if they are for real. A good chance for the Spartans to hop into the top 5 of my rankings.  |
| 14 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Michigan is undefeated, but really hasn't played anyone. Best win is probably Western Michigan (5-2) |
| 15 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Ohio State is 6-1. Best win is over Minnesota (4-2) |
| 16 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Notre Dame is 5-1. Best win is over Purdue (4-2). Looks a little better this week with Purdue beating Iowa. Also have a win over Virginia Tech (3-3) |
| 17 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
Kentucky Is 6-1. Only loss is to Georgia. Florida losing to LSU takes a little out of their best win, which is still Florida but who is now 4-3. Also have a win over LSU (4-3) |
| 18 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Ole Miss is 6-1. Only loss is to Alabama. Best wins are over Tennessee and Arkansas, who are both 4-3.  |
| 19 |
SMU Mustangs

| 20 |
UTSA Roadrunners
|
The undefeated roadrunners keep on chugging. Best win is over Memphis (4-3) |
| 21 |
Pittsburgh Panthers
|
Pitt is 5-1. They have a weird loss to Western Michigan that keeps them from being ranked very high. They have wins over Tennessee (4-3) and Virginia Tech (3-3). Huge matchup with Clemson next week.  |
| 22 |

undefeated but really haven't played anybody.  |
