|
| 1 |  | Ohio State
Buckeyes | 6-0 | 5-1 | The Buckeyes get the top spot after a dominating performance at home against Indiana. A win this week in Madison almost assure Ohio State of being unbeaten before November. |
| 2 |  | Oregon
Ducks | 6-0 | 5-1 | The Ducks did handle Washington State, but that win was a lot closer than expected. We'll just chalk it up as a let down after beating Stanford. |
| 3 |  | Boise State
Broncos | 5-0 | 4-1 | Well, the Broncos are back where the started on our rankings. Now they just need to beat the snot out of the rest of their schedule to make it to Glendale. |
| 4 |  | Nebraska
Cornhuskers | 5-0 | 2-2 | Nebraska took care of a fraud of an unbeaten team in Kansas State. Now they get to exact some revenge on the Longhorns before they make the trip to the Big Ten. |
| 5 |  | TCU
Horned Frogs | 6-0 | 2-3 | They might not be getting the notice, but TCU's defense has blanked two straight teams. Sure, they're against Colorado State and Wyoming but still strong showings. BYU could be a speed bump with Air Force on the horizon. |
| 6 |  | Oklahoma
Sooners | 5-0 | 1-3 | Oklahoma should be well rested after the week. Although they probably didn't need it to take on Iowa State this week. |
| 7 |  | Utah
Utes | 5-0 | 4-0-1 | There no mention of the Utes in the title hunt, but there should be. This team has scored at least 56 points in three straight games and damn near dropped 70 on the Cyclones. Utah has its gauntlet start at the end of October with a trip to Air Force. They'll still be unbeaten by that time. |
| 8 |  | Alabama
Crimson Tide | 5-1 | 4-2 | Alabama is licking its wounds for the first time since the 2009 Sugar Bowl against the Utes. The sting of the loss shouldn't last too long this week with Ole Miss on the schedule. |
| 9 |  | Auburn
Tigers | 6-0 | 3-3 | Cam Newton kept the Tigers unbeaten with a win over Kentucky last Saturday. Now can he out duel Ryan Mallet next week against Arkansas? |
| 10 |  | LSU
Tigers | 6-0 | 3-3 | Les Miles may not be the brightest coach in the nation, but he has plenty of guts. His calls helped the Tigers win at Florida. McNeese State awaits the Tigers this week before a big showdown with Auburn. |
| 11 |  | South Carolina
Gamecocks | 4-1 | 3-1 | Steve Spurrier has the biggest win of his tenure at South Carolina. No rest for the high flying Gamecocks right now with a road trip to Kentucky this week. |
| 12 |  | Arkansas
Razorbacks | 4-1 | 3-1 | Ryan Mallet appears to have shaken off that bad second half against the Crimson Tide. He'll get another chance to guide the Hogs to a win over an unbeaten club in Auburn this week. |
| 13 |  | Michigan State
Spartans | 6-0 | 3-2 | The Spartans effectively stalled Michigan last weekend, but they are primed for a letdown this Saturday against Illinois. |
| 14 |  | Iowa
Hawkeyes | 4-1 | 3-1 | The Hawkeyes might be a good team going into Michigan, but they are 0-6 SU and 1-5 ATS when playing a Big Ten battle after a week off. |
| 15 |  | Stanford
Cardinal | 5-1 | 3-2 | Andrew Luck proved once again why he is the best quarterback in the nation with that win over USC. It should be fun to see how much he can do to the Cougars in two weeks. |
| 16 |  | Arizona
Wildcats | 4-1 | 3-1 | Before Wildcat fans freak out, losing to the Beavers isn't awful given who they have lost to themselves. That might spell disaster for the Cougars this weekend. |
| 17 |  | Wisconsin
Badgers | 5-1 | 0-5 | The Golden Gophers aren't fans of Wisconsin right now. The Badgers will try to do the same to Ohio State on Saturday as well. |
| 18 |  | Florida State
Seminoles | 5-1 | 4-1 | Florida State looks nothing like the team that got killed by the Sooners. The 'Noles have a pretty easy road to winning the ACC Atlantic Division after the beating they gave Miami. |
| 19 |  | Missouri
Tigers | 5-0 | 2-2 | Mizzou's offense looks like it's clicking at the moment. They'll get a good test against Texas A&M before taking on Oklahoma. |
| 20 |  | Nevada
Wolf Pack | 6-0 | 3-2 | Colin Kaepernick and Vai Taua have this team looking like they're unstoppable. Should have no trouble in Hawaii next weekend. |
| 21 |  | Air Force
Falcons | 5-1 | 2-3 | We knew the Falcons would have a good offense, but their defense is ranked 35th nationally. |
| 22 |  | Oklahoma State
Cowboys | 5-0 | 4-1 | The Cowboys proved they could get back on their horse against UL-Lafayette after a sub-par first half. |
| 23 |  | Michigan
Wolverines | 5-1 | 3-2 | The Wolverines failed against the first decent defense they faced in Michigan State. How will they respond this week when they take on Iowa? |
| 24 |  | Virginia Tech
Hokies | 4-2 | 4-1 | I think the Hokies have finally forgotten about the first two games of the season. That beat down of North Carolina State should be proof. |
| 25 |  | West Virginia
Mountaineers | 4-2 | 3-1 | The Mountaineers are the best team (by default) in the Big East. That isn't really a knock as they've easily shown the most fight of any team in that league's set of non-conference play.
