Rank Team Reason
1 Miami Hurricanes Miami remains undefeated by winning another highly competitive game.
2 Indiana Hoosiers Charlie Becker (with the help of McAteer) saves IU… again. They find a way to win close games. Defending national champions. One foot away from being undefeated. IU takes the #2 spot.
3 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Move up 1 spot due to OSU loss.
4 Georgia Bulldogs Georgia puts the beat down on Florida, but they are really moving up 1 spot due to OSU loss.
5 Utah Utes Utah remains undefeated and moves into top 5 with Ohio State’s loss.
6 UCLA Bruins UCLA remains undefeated and is knocking on door of top 5.
7 BYU Cougars BYU moves up a spot with Ohio State loss.
8 Texas Tech Red Raiders Texas Tech jumps UK after a win over a solid Arizona team.
9 Kentucky Wildcats UK remains at 9 with the bye week and a big matchup against Tennessee next week.
10 Texas Longhorns Texas dismantles Mississippi State and moves back into the top 10.
11 Ohio State Buckeyes After their bye week, OSU came out flat. They got whooped on the road at USC with backup Fahey running the offense. OSU is trending in the wrong direction and moves just outside the top 10 at #11.
12 Wake Forest Demon Deacons Wake Forest has passed the eye test so far. Their one loss is to #1 Miami. They jump Houston and Boise State in my rankings after a big win against Virginia.
13 Boise State Broncos Boise State survives the upset scare from Texas State.
14 Houston Cougars Hold their rank after the bye week.
15 LSU Tigers Both SMU and Arizona lost in front of them so LSU moves back into the top 15.
16 Alabama Crimson Tide Boost after losses from Arizona, Northwestern, and SMU.
17 Ole Miss Rebels Boost after losses from Arizona, Northwestern, and SMU. Ole Miss picks up a large victory over Auburn.
18 Tennessee Volunteers Boost after losses from Arizona, Northwestern, and SMU.
19 USC Trojans A dominant victory against a reeling OSU team moves USC to 7-2.
20 UTSA Roadrunners 7-1 with their only loss to a top 10 team. The Roadrunners move into my top 20.
21 Arizona Wildcats Wildcats drop 4 spots in my rankings due to a road loss to Texas Tech. Their only two losses are to top ten teams on the road.
22 Northwestern Wildcats A road loss to Oregon drops Northwestern down 10 spots in my rankings.
23 New Mexico Lobos 7-1 and leading the MWC.
24 Iowa Hawkeyes Dominated AP ranked Wisconsin this week. Move back into my top 25 at 6-2.
25 Liberty Flames 7-1 with their one loss coming as a road loss against a competitive James Madison squad. Liberty is rewarded for their 7 game win streak and sneaks into the top 25.
