Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Texas Longhorns | Team appears very dominant even with Ewers out and Arch stepping up. They are very explosive on offense and defense. |
2 | Tennessee Volunteers | The Vols look great with this combination with Nico on the offense and a stout defense. I believe this team could potentially be more powerful then Texas. |
3 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Bama has once again taken care of business. Although a lot of us on the sub realized that they would more than likely cover they made proper corrections from any early struggles against USF. |
4 | Ohio State Buckeyes | They didn't play but, so far they are of the top 4 teams in the B1G. |
5 | Georgia Bulldogs | They have played a good Clemson team. They seemed to struggle on the road at Kroger Field against Kentucky where the game came down to the wire after the Gamecocks had just rolled them. |
6 | Oregon Ducks | I had doubts about the team after a slow start to the season. A lot of the kinks seem to be worked out and D Gabriel really showed out in the civil war. I for one thought this game would not on be close but, that the ducks were going to hold an L. |
7 | Ole Miss Rebels | So far explosive. Dart shouldn't have taken his helmet off. The refs were something in the game against WF. I will need to see us play a harder games when we enter our conference part of the schedule after some easier games. I still worry about our secondary. |
8 | Miami Hurricanes | It is early but Miami is scary. I think they will run the ACC and honestly good for them. Although the Florida W doesn't mean as much in terms of polls this team is still very dominant and I think will face 3 games that could be an issue. |
9 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Glimpses of an absolute unit of a team has shown through followed by some small issues. That is the reason the BG game was as close as it was. They are coming off a BYE and hopefully worked on some of the small issues. This week will be no issue for them. |
10 | USC Trojans | USC with their first shutout in quite some time. I was very low on this team at the beginning of the year as many were. The LSU W actually carries a little more weight after they beat the Gamecocks this past weekend. I think they handle Michigan after this bye week. |
11 | Missouri Tigers | Mizzou struggled for the first half of their game last weekend against a Boston College team that might be better than I had thought after two consecutive shutouts for the tigers. |
12 | Kansas State Wildcats | K State looked scary. I thought Utah would run the table in the BIG 12 this year but, K State looks hungry. They took care of what looked to be a really good Arizona team. |
13 | Oklahoma Sooners | The Sooners looked much better against a great Tulane squad that nearly beat K State the week before. This game was not as close as I thought it would be. Their defense really shined through against a really well coached team and their offense showed up compared to the previous week against Houston. |
14 | Washington State Cougars | I am high on Wazzu and I was previously. This team looks really good and hungry in the apple bowl. I could see them going 10-2 with a few trap games in their schedule. |
15 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | Cardiac cowboys destroy a not great Tulsa; next week will be interesting as another test against a potentially no Cam Rising Utah. |
16 | Louisville Cardinals | Louisville looks like a good team and coming off a BYE I think they have what it takes to take down GT. This will be their first big game. |
17 | Clemson Tigers | Clemson lost some stock with me after the close Georgia Kentucky game. I think we have to see what happens with the NC State game. |
18 | Utah Utes | The backup for Cam seems to be doing well. The Cardiac Cowboys will give them a good test if Cam isn't back in. Either way I do think this game will be close and could result in one of the teams dropping a few spots. |
19 | Nebraska Cornhuskers | Nebraska has played well. They got revenge on Colorado and have appeared to really be clicking. This weeks matchup could be tough for the Cornhuskers but I think they beat out Altmeyer and team. |
20 | LSU Tigers | Things seem to be coming together better for the their team. They beat a really good SC team this past weekend. The SC win carries more weight then the Nicholls game issues. |
21 | Illinois Fighting Illini | I like this Illinois team. Their next two weeks are going to be rough against a good Nebraska team and a good Penn State team. There has been really good plays and I think this Nebraska game could be very interesting. |
22 | Iowa State Cyclones | Coming off a BYE. I think they play this Arkansas State team slightly better than Michigan in the start of the game. It will still end as a close game. |
23 | Michigan Wolverines | They appeared to struggle against Arkansas State for a while and Warren did look better then against Texas. I do not think they win this USC game. |
24 | Memphis Tigers | Memphis looks like a great team. There were some things that needed to be cleaned up this past weekend but, I think they should be in contention for the G5 autobid. (HATE: thinking about that now) |
25 | Northern Illinois Huskies | They didn't play but, ND did and dropped a 60 burg on Purdue. It doesn't do anything for me on ND but drives up the NI stock some for me. |
