Rank Team Reason
1 Alabama Crimson Tide Their offense seems legitimately scary, and they absolutely blew the doors off of both Mississippi State and Kentucky. I think they are the top team in the country.
2 Georgia Bulldogs
3 Notre Dame Fighting Irish If you haven't really played anyone yet, you need to really look dominant in your wins in order to keep the #1 spot. Letting a very mediocre North Carolina stick around wasn't that.
4 Texas Longhorns Maybe the only Top 10 team that can truly be called battle tested so far,
5 Miami Hurricanes
6 Indiana Hoosiers
7 LSU Tigers
8 Ohio State Buckeyes No Kinnick voodoo for the Buckeyes
9 Utah Utes Maybe Whitt wasn't the mastermind behind their success.
10 Nebraska Cornhuskers They are either here to stay or Cig is about to win by 4+ scores.
11 Texas Tech Red Raiders
12 BYU Cougars
13 Tennessee Volunteers
14 Oregon Ducks
15 Missouri Tigers Proved the doubters wrong with that win. I was one of those doubters. (They also had maybe the highest one-week jump in my computer poll I've seen so far this season.)
16 UCLA Bruins
17 USC Trojans
18 Florida Gators
19 Pittsburgh Panthers
20 Houston Cougars
21 Arizona Wildcats Only loss is to BYU, and they dominated a solid Cincinnati team.
22 Northwestern Wildcats Talk your kids about ranked Northwestern.
23 Boise State Broncos
24 Ole Miss Rebels The Louisville win has already been downgraded from a marquee win to a close shave against a bad team and the Florida blowout now looks even more embarrassing. How did this team beat LSU?
25 Texas A&M Aggies Watch them blow out Missouri to complete the SEC circle of suck.
