| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Texas Longhorns
|
A bit of a sleepwalking game, but Texas starting conference play with a win is huge |
| 2 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Ryan Williams. |
| 3 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Will be interested in seeing that Arkansas game if for no reason that it's nice to see Tennessee play Arkansas again. |
| 4 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Jeremiah Smith. |
| 5 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Didn't want to drop them too far since it was a close game after all. And who knows if they didn't sleep the first half. |
| 6 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Really starting to get into form now. |
| 7 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Nice gritty win against a solid Illinois team. |
| 8 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Dinged a little bit for that Houdini act. Still, survival is the name of that game. |
| 9 |
Missouri Tigers
|
Well a fellow competitor for the SEC at large race fell. |
| 10 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Few weeks ago I regretted ranking them. I'm still not truly impressed, but that's more than I can say for a lot of the teams they jumped. |
| 11 |
USC Trojans
|
Good rebound win against Wisconsin. |
| 12 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
Can't argue with the defense putting up a goose-egg. |
| 13 |
BYU Cougars
|
Got a little dicey this week against Baylor, but still they keep winning. |
| 14 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
That's a bad bad loss. Blow out cupcakes but shit the bed against a team with a pulse. |
| 15 |
LSU Tigers
|
Not sure if they're good or other teams are just falling apart. |
| 16 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Well, I guess that Week 1 loss to Georgia was a wake up call and the rest of the ACC is paying the price. |
| 17 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Welcome back, Irishmen! I am now just dumbfounded by the NIU loss, but that's a good win over Louisville. |
| 18 |
Utah Utes
|
They need to figure out that QB situation FAST. |
| 19 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
9WIndiana is on the table. |
| 20 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Who knows how long they are for this poll but good comeback over Auburn. |
| 21 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
Didn't punish them too far for being competitive on the road. |
| 22 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
Well we saw their first real test and they didn't pass. Still a chance to bounce back against SMU. |
| 23 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
The K-State fan fulfilled his promise involving the burrito and the Wildcats were rewarded with a win over a ranked opponent. Just saying @321Nole |
| 24 |
UNLV Rebels
|
Well I have to say: their time at the center of the CFB news cycle was fun. And a blowout win over Fresno State to seal it is great. |
| 25 |
Boise State Broncos
|
They passed a few teams. Jeanty deserves Heisman love of course. And in the end 3-1 with the one loss being a competitive game at a top 10 team is top 25 worthy. |
