lowes18 3 I dropped Indiana in last weeks poll over their poor performance against North Texas, assuming the Mean Green weren't great competition. Following North Texas annihilating UNLV and Indiana putting up obscene statistics this weekend I decided to bump the reigning national champs back up.

Pyromania1983 5 The defending national champs are still rolling after the loss of Fernando Mendoza. Just like in Week 1, Indiana's offense continued to dominate, putting up over 50 points for the second straight week. It was the team's defense that made the bigger difference, completing a shutout against Howard.

smartkeg 5 Look great but it's hard to put them higher than this due to the quality of their opponents. Get the tiebreaker over Georgia solely due to being the defending champs, for what I view as basically equal teams.

Doogitywoogity 6 Similar to Georgia, they ain’t played nobody PAWL. Beating up on Howard after having a rough start vs UNT doesn’t paint the picture of a squad that will repeat, but who knows with Cignetti what’s really coming. WKU will give a nice reference point vs Georgia next week. They’ve got some tough B1G squads later in the season, but MN and WA are trending down from what I expected of them.
