| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Georgia continue to win convincingly, but do they have any statement wins remaining? All of their best wins are about to fall out of the top 25 |
| 2 |
Cincinnati Bearcats
|
After a crazy few opening drives, Cincinnati seemed in control of the game against USF the rest of the way |
| 3 |
Oregon Ducks
|
38-24 over washington State. Utah and Oregon State remain in conference play |
| 4 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
28-3 over Virginia. The game was not as close as the score indicates. |
| 5 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Ohio State looked dominant in a 59-31 win over Purdue, who had upset Michigan State last week |
| 6 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
Oklahoma State took down TCU 63-17 |
| 7 |
Michigan State Spartans
|
Got the W over Maryland, who is completely inept against top 10 teams historically. The Spartans face the Buckeyes this coming weekend |
| 8 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Michigan was trailing Penn State untila late "go ahead" TD. Maryland and THE Ohio State remain on the schedule |
| 9 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
After being down by 3 for a scary 44 seconds, Bama did what Bama does |
| 10 |
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
|
Wake Forest had a close 45-42 win over NC State late Saturday. They face Clemson and Boston College next |
| 11 |
Baylor Bears
|
Baylor toppled the undefeated Oklahoma and looked good doing it |
| 12 |
Houston Cougars
|
Houston easily beat Temple 37-8. Unless there is a massive upset by Memphis and UConn, Houston will be headed to the AAC Championship |
| 13 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Despite trying two QBs during the game, Oklahoma lost to Baylor |
| 14 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Ole Miss took down Texas A&M to give them their third loss of the season. They will likely end the season in 2nd place in the SEC West |
| 15 |
BYU Cougars
|
BYU had a bye week and face GA Southern next, a game in which they will be favored heavily |
| 16 |
UTSA Roadrunners
|
Meep meep. 10-0 baby. They play a decent 7-3 UAB this coming weekend, which will likely deteremine the C-USA West |
| 17 |
Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns
|
35-21 over Troy! Louisiana have a late OOC game against Liberty next |
| 18 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
Wisconsin continue to look good, albeit against subpar competition. They beat Northwestern 35-7 |
| 19 |
Pittsburgh Panthers
|
Pitt had a quick 17-0 lead after the first quarter against UNC, but let up in the second half. The game went to OT and the rain gods helped Pitt out a bit |
| 20 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
Iowa beat Minnesota 27-22. They need Wisconsin to drop another conference game and also win out to go to the Big 10 Championship |
| 21 |
San Diego State Aztecs
|
San Diego State has a 9-1 record, but many of their victory are by one score, including Saturday's 23-21 win over Nevada. They should easily handle UNLV before facing Boise State |
| 22 |
Appalachian State Mountaineers
|
App State were only up by 7 going into the third quarter, but went up big with a 31-7 victory over the Jags |
| 23 |
SMU Mustangs

| 25 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
Kansas State are on a four game winning streak after a 34-17 win against WVU. Do they have what it takes to take down Baylor? |
