| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Georgia’s struggle against Kentucky help Texas rise to first, considering how Texas has made it all look so easy so far. |
| 2 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
A win is a win, but it looked sketchy long enough for Georgia to have to fall a bit. |
| 3 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
|
| 4 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
A great win over Wisconsin, although of course they’ve yet to have a truly great win yet. |
| 5 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
|
| 6 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
|
| 7 |
Missouri Tigers
|
|
| 8 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 9 |
Oregon Ducks
|
A good win over Oregon State, although, considering their shakiness so far, they have a bit more convincing to do. |
| 10 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
|
| 11 |
USC Trojans
|
They’ll be eager for the Michigan game next week, which could lead to a great rise or fall. |
| 12 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
I’m really impressed by their offense. This ranking would have them winning the Big 12, although with the next two teams in a tight race with them. |
| 13 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
A great win over Arizona helps them rise over Utah for the time being. |
| 14 |
Utah Utes
|
Utah State should have been no trouble at all, but things did look a bit shaky - can’t fault them too much, but they do drop a bit due to teams moving above them. |
| 15 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
|
| 16 |
LSU Tigers
|
|
| 17 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
A complete dismantling of Purdue lets Notre Dame rise a bit, and things seem to be trending back in the right direction. |
| 18 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
|
| 19 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
USC will be a big test for this somewhat shaky team. |
| 20 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
|
| 21 |
Nebraska Cornhuskers
|
Another nice win, although not much to move the needle. |
| 22 |
Northern Illinois Huskies
|
Notre Dame looks like an even more impressive win this week. |
| 23 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Georgia looks like a slightly worse loss this week. |
| 24 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
Kansas is looking like a less impressive win, but they’ve avoided mistakes so far, unlike some other teams. |
| 25 |
Memphis Tigers
|
Florida State is becoming a less impressive win by the minute, but Memphis’s good play against their previous opponents help them squeak in. |
