#1 – LSU.
They beat another quality opponent in South Carolina (or Steve Spurrier if you will). It’s insane how merciless their defense is…
#2 – USC.
After a romp over Washington State, wow.
#3 – Oklahoma.
Defense survived a legitimate test being that of the Tulsa offense, and the offense rolled in typical fashion for the Sooners this year…
#4 – Florida.
The Gators (as a collective whole) finally looked human against the Rebels, but I will keep them at four because a) I don’t think WVU is better than Florida and b) I was impressed at how Tebow (and somewhat Harvin) essentially willed his team to win when they were down.
#5 – West Virginia.
Did what they usually do, ran circles around ECU. Yawn. The Mountaineers have a chance to gain some standing when they travel to South Florida this weekend. Win big over the Bulls, and then it could be considered that they move up a few spots.
#6 – California.
I was somewhat hesitant to put them at sixth… allowing 27 points to an Arizona team that has been the epitome of lowly makes me wonder about Cal’s defense, especially considering they face Oregon @ Autzen this weekend (and haven’t won there in a while) and host the vaunted Trojans.
#7 – Ohio State.
Absolutely trounced Northwestern, but that’s what they’re suppose to do isn’t it? Only concern would be allowing a nearly 99 yard kickoff return for their only touchdown in the 3rd. That should never, EVER, EVER happen against Northwestern.
#8 – Texas.
Finally, a big win. Too bad the opponent was Rice.
#9 – Oregon.
I know they gave up a lot of points to Stanford, but I also think this is a Stanford team on the rise. Offense is in full effect right now, and it should be a game for the ages when they host California this weekend at the oft-frenzied Autzen.
#10 – Boston College.
Matt Ryan continues to put up big numbers.
#11 – Wisconsin.
Three bad games in a row = loss of credibility. Yes, I know the Badgers always seem to find a way to win, but I’m also getting the feeling they’re playing down to the level of a lot of under-manned opponents, and that is no way to validate yourself for a conference/ national title run. A loss will happen sooner rather than later – and the Badgers should beware as they host the Spartans this weekend.
#12 – Rutgers.
Rolling along under the radar as usual…
#13 – Clemson.
