| 1 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Texas didn’t completely destroy Miss State as hoped, but their overall body of work is still the best although Alabama came really close to it. |
| 2 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
That game with Georgia lived up to the billing. Had Alabama not blown a huge lead against the Dawgs and had to comeback to beat them, they might have been the new #1. |
| 3 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Bye week for the Vols as they get ready for Arkansas |
| 4 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Another easy game for Ohio State. Maybe Iowa will prove the first real test? |
| 5 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Carson Beck may not be a top QB in CFB |
| 6 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
The quintessential Penn State against Illinois. Running game dominated, defense dominated, questions about the passing game. |
| 7 |
Oregon Ducks
|
That game against UCLA wasn’t as close as the score indicated. Ducks getting it together. |
| 8 |
Missouri Tigers
|
Bye week for Mizzou as they get ready for A&M |
| 9 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Very controversial win for Miami against disappointing Virginia Tech. Cam Ward’s Heisman campaign survives |
| 10 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Clemson top 10 may be high, but that offense has seriously turned it around and Clemson’s dangerous. |
| 11 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
I don’t know how Michigan keeps pulling it off. I just can’t see them pulling it off against Oregon or Ohio State though. |
| 12 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
Easy shutout win for Iowa State. Cyclones are the new Big 12 favorite. |
| 13 |
USC Trojans
|
Slow start against Wisconsin, easy win in the end. Good rebound from the Trojans. |
| 14 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
Great rebound from KSU against Oklahoma State. Offense exploded and defense shut down OK State. Wildcats are right back in the Big 12 race. |
| 15 |
BYU Cougars
|
Watch out for the Cougars. BYU with a big road win and the season of surpassing expectations continues. |
| 16 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Well that was disappointing. A lot of big talk from Ole Miss all offseason, a lot of hype build up during a run against weak competition, and they falter at home against Kentucky. |
| 17 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Good win for Notre Dame. Couldn’t watch it though (thanks Peacock) |
| 18 |
Utah Utes
|
Utah needs Cam Rising bad. More importantly they need him to be able to play more than 2 games. |
| 19 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
Who had Indiana as one of the first teams to clinch bowl eligibility on their bingo card? Nobody did, and if they take down Northwestern they’ll have done exactly that. |
| 20 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
Close loss for Louisville in South Bend, couldn’t watch though (thanks Peacock) |
| 21 |
LSU Tigers
|
I thought LSU might be vulnerable against South Alabama, but they won comfortably. Bye for the Tigahs |
| 22 |
Boise State Broncos
|
HEI2MAN |
| 23 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Oklahoma gets their first SEC win and Jackson Arnold might as well redshirt if he can and enter the portal, he’s done at Oklahoma. |
| 24 |
UNLV Rebels
|
Sluka leaves and UNLV actually got better at the position. Massive blowout win over Fresno |
| 25 |
Rutgers Scarlet Knights
|
Congrats on being undefeated Rutgers. Their RB is one of the most underrated in the nation |
