Ohio State Buckeyes
|
|
| 2 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Next week their season actually begins |
| 3 |
LSU Tigers
|
Rivalry wins are always nice, especially by 2 scores. |
| 4 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Huge W, almost put them over LSU, but that feels like a little too much |
| 5 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
USF were fun while they lasted, Miami put them in their place |
| 6 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Their season also actually begins next week |
| 7 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Arch seems to be getting back on track |
| 8 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
Was 2024 just a bad dream? They look even better than the 2023 team so far |
| 9 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
Altmyer is really good, probably the best Illini QB since Jeff George. |
| 10 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Mateer is the best QB in the country right now, this might be a CFP team. |
| 11 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
I don't think they stay at 11, but they beat Notre Dame in South Bend |
| 12 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
They had a rough game, but thugged it out for the win. |
| 13 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Crazy game that they came away from with the win. |
| 14 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Looks like they're back on track, encouraging showing vs another P4 school |
| 15 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
I hate having them ranked top 15 at 0-2, but they've lost these games by less than a touchdown combined |
| 16 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
David Bailey is a game wrecker, excited to see him line up against Fano and Lomu. |
| 17 |
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
|
I expected this to happen, now I really can push them up |
| 18 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Underwood looks like he just had one of those welcome to college games last week, he should continue to improve through the season. |
| 19 |
South Carolina Gamecocks
|
Ouch... is Vandy good or is SCAR frauds? Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z! |
| 20 |
Utah Utes
|
Look like a good team, excited for their game next week. |
| 21 |
Missouri Tigers
|
This offense is dangerous |
| 22 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Brutal loss and absolute chokejob, but close enough of a game to not fall out of the top 25 |
| 23 |
Auburn Tigers
|
Solid W, wondering if Auburn is legit good this year. |
| 24 |
USC Trojans
|
Their offense looks electric |
| 25 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
Still good enough to rank, but other teams have impressed me more |
