TEAM

1. USC (2-0)

Dominated Ohio St. Granted they didn’t have Beanie Wells, but it was a pretty complete performance. We’ll see if they can avoid a slip-up.

2. Oklahoma (3-0)

Bradford is looking really good and with Stoops running they show they can beat any team. But the Big 12 is a scary conference to get through.

3. Missouri (3-0)

They have just been lights out so far this season. Chase might be the best all-around QB in the nation and Maclin is just a sick athlete.

4. Georgia (3-0)

I was against moving them down after they struggled to put away Georgia Southern, but after a sloppy game against S. Carolina, they just don’t look like the class of the nation.

5. Florida (2-0)

Always gonna be a tough team to play, but they struggled through the first half at Miami, and a better team won’t let them stay in the game.

6. LSU (2-0)

I’ve never seen defending national champions get talked about less. This is a solid team with a brutal D to play against. They could repeat.

7. Wisconsin (3-0)

At least one Big Ten team can stay in the top ten. They have always had a scary defense, and with PJ Hill grinding it out, they are tough to contain.

8. Alabama (3-0)

It started with a very good Week 1 win and the Tide has kept rolling. Julio is going to be a great college WR.

9. Texas Tech (3-0)

Yes, this is the best team in Texas. No, I am not kidding. Crabtree and Harrell are going to rack up points every single week.

10. South Florida (3-0)

Called the upset last week and I will toot my horn for it. This team just never seems to be out of games. I love watching them.

11. Texas (2-0)

Second best team in the state, but I am not a Colt believer. Maybe if he showed that he’s learned to not roll right and get drilled on every pass.

12. Ohio St. (2-1)

Ok, they got embarrassed. Like, really embarrassed, but they didn’t have Beanie who might be the nations best rusher. With him, they can play.

13. Penn St(3-0)

It’s not Big Ten favoritism, 166 points in three weeks, are you kidding me!? This team can score the football, hands down.

14. Auburn (3-0)

Apparently the Tigers are too focused on the MLB playoff race, because they decided to honor it by winning a game 3-2. Brutal.

15. Oregon (3-0)

Purdue is a tougher team than people give them credit for. Oregon showed guts grinding that sucker out. They have some talent.

16. East Carolina (3-0)

The dream season almost ended at the hands off…Tulane!? They escaped, but they might not again. Still love this team though.

17. BYU (3-0)

I wasn’t really a believer until they absolutely throttled a strong UCLA defense. Maybe this team can play with the big boys this year.

18. Utah (3-0)

People forget that this team won 9 games and a bowl last year. They are not a joke and Johnson is a very dynamic player at QB.

19. Kansas (2-1)

Can’t really fault them for losing to South Florida, which is a very strong team. Kansas can play and they’ll make some Big 12 noise.

20. Clemson (2-1)

Yeah, they stumbled in game 1, but against solid competition. Spiller and Davis are a legit runningback duo, no matter what analysts say.

21. WakeForest (2-1)

They never seem to make it look really good, but they keep finding ways to win. That’s a very good sign when the games start to matter more.

22. West Virginia (1-1)

This is what happens to the team Cinderella beats, people forget about them. With White and Devine, these guys are never out of it.

23. FloridaState (2-0)

Let’s keep ourselves in check, this is not the rebirth of the program just yet. They are getting better, but they still have some ground to make up.

24. TCU (3-0)

Competition stepped up a level with Stanford and TCU put them down easily. This team can play a little bit and is about to make some noise.

25. Vanderbilt (3-0)

Should have gotten more respect for beating South Carolina. They are not a doormat anymore and when they beat Mississippi by more than Auburn did, it might prove that.
