1. Alabama (8-0, 5-0) |
(–) | Rolled the Bulldogs of Mississippi State, 38-7. | ||
2. Oregon (8-0) |
(+1) | Blew out the woeful Colorado Buffaloes, 70-14. | ||
3. Kansas State (8-0, 5-0) |
(+1) | Collin Klein and co. routed the Red Raiders at home, 55-24. | ||
4. Notre Dame (8-0) |
(+1) | Silenced the doubters and smothered the Sooners, 30-13. | ||
5. Florida (6-1; 7-1) |
(-3) | After falling at a terrible time (9-17 at UGA), the Gators will need a helping hand. | ||
6. LSU (3-1; 7-1) |
(–) | LSU has a huge showdown at home this Saturday vs. the Tide after its bye. | ||
7. Florida State (5-1; 8-1) |
(–) | The ‘Noles advanced against much-improved Duke, 48-7. | ||
8. Clemson (4-1; 7-1) |
(+2) | The Tigers pounced on the Demon Deacons, 42-13. | ||
9. South Carolina (5-2; 7-2) |
(+2) | S. CAR survived in a thriller 38-35 over the Volunteers. We wish Marcus Lattimore a smooth recovery. | ||
10. Ohio State (5-0; 9-0) |
(+2) | Defeated Penn State, 35-23. For a program ineligible from postseason play, OSU has a heck of a lot of fight. | ||
11. Georgia (5-1; 7-1) |
(+4) | Bulldogs are back in the national discussion after beating Florida 17-9. | ||
12. Oklahoma (3-1; 5-2) |
(-4) | Lost 13-30 vs. ND. Sooners still have a shot at a BCS bowl berth. | ||
13. Oregon State (4-1; 6-1) |
(-4) | Couldn’t come up with the “w” on the road vs. UW, losing 17-20. | ||
14. Stanford (4-1; 6-2) |
(–1) | Got the job done vs. Wazzou, 24-17. Why was this team ranked so low in the national polls after falling to the Fighting Irish? | ||
15. Texas A&M (3-2; 6-2) |
(+4) | Aggies demolished the Tigers of Auburn, 63-21. Lost to LSU and Florida by eight points combined. | ||

16. Nebraska (3-1; 6-2) |
(+5) | Won over the Wolverines with conviction, 23-9. Should be headed to conference championship. | ||
17. Louisville (3-0; 8-0) |
(+3) | Nothing against Louisville, just not sold on its strength of schedule. Team doesn’t belong in the Top 10. | ||
18. Arizona (2-3; 5-3) |
(+7) | Wildcats won a wild one over the Trojans, 39-36 and advance into the Top 20. | ||
19. Texas Tech (3-2; 6-2) |
(-3) | Klein and K-State kicked the Red Raiders around, 55-24. | ||
20. USC (4-2; 6-2) |
(-6) | Barkley and company could bounce back in a big way against the Quack Attack, but a trip to the national title is no longer in the realm of possibility this time for the Trojans. | ||
21. Mississippi State (3-1; 7-1) |
(-4) | That 38-7 beatdown by ‘Bama was a clear indication the the Bulldogs’ record was inflated from so much cupcake competition, as none of their previous opponents from AQ conferences currently have a winning record. | ||
22. Michigan (3-1; 5-3) |
(-4) | Look for Denard Robinson and Michigan to bounce back and win the the next three games before battling the Buckeyes. Should at least stay in contention in the Big Ten Legends division after falling to the Cornhuskers (23-9). | ||
23. Boise State (4-0; 7-1) |
(–) | Beat Wyoming with conviction, 45-14. Do the Broncos have a shot at a BCS bowl bid? | ||
24. West Virginia (2-2; 5-2) |
(–) | The Mountaineers were idle this past weekend and will battle TCU, OKST, OKLA, ISU and KAN to end the season after suffering back-to-back blowouts by a combined score of 154-28 against Texas Tech and Kansas State. | ||
25. Louisiana Tech (2-0; 7-1) |
OTC | Bulldogs beat the woeful 1-7 Aggies of New Mexico State, 28-14. Their only loss on the year was against the Texas A&M Aggies in a 59-57 shootout. | ||
| On The Cusp (OTC) | ||||
Texas (3-2; 6-2) |
NR | The Longhorns survived a somewhat surprisingly tough test at Kansas, 21-17. | ||
Cincinnati (1-1; 5-2) |
OTC | Lost 31-34 at Louisville, but still might have a slight shot at the conference crown with the way these Big East teams have played in the past down-the-stretch. | ||
UCLA (3-2; 6-2) |
NR | Bruins beat the Sun Devils in a high-scoring thriller, 45-43. | ||
Ohio (3-1; 7-1) |
OTC | Ohio suffered its first loss of the season against Miami (OH), 20-23. | ||
Oklahoma State (3-1; 5-2) |
NR | Cowboys crushed the Horned Frogs, 36-14. They have a huge test this Saturday in Manhattan, KS. | ||
