available for viewing.
| Rank | Team | Delta | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | California | -- | I honestly think they would beat LSU on a neutral field. At this moment, their skilled players are the best in the country. |
| 2 | LSU | -- | Wake up folks, that offense is average. The defense is spectacular, but Matt Flynn and Jacob Hester are exciting me |
| 3 | Ohio State |

Has Ohio State played anyone? We may not know until January. But they certainly look the part at the moment. |
| 4 | Boston College |
2
|
They keep winning ... easily. They need to blow out a "resurgent" ND team this weekend. |
| 5 | Arizona State |

|
I cannot wait for 10/27 v. California. |
| 6 | Oregon |
3
|
Same weekend v. USC. |
| 7 | Oklahoma |

I really thought they would beat Texas by a larger margin. Here comes a confident Mizzou |
| 8 | Missouri |
5
|
That Illinois win looks a lot better now and they have a chance to make a statement this weekend. |
| 9 | Florida |

|
There is little shame in losing to LSU and this ranking reflects that. But they are having a hard time finishing games defensively. |
| 10 | South Carolina |
5
|
The defense is fine but the offense needs to get a lot better to move any higher. |
| 11 | Kansas |
7
|
Everything was pointing to a big Jayhawks loss in Manhattan. Yet, KUpassed that test with flying colors. |
| 12 | South Florida |

|
If you play a close game against Florida Atlantic you do not deserve to be in the Top 10. |
| 13 | Southern Cal |
10
|
They were bound to lose this season, but to Stanford?! Would you bet on USC against Oregon, ASU, or Cal? |
| 14 | Illinois |
12
|
They have played well in each game including that loss to Missouri. Now, will they pull a Michigan State and collapse after experiencing some success? |
| 15 | West Virginia |
1
|
Pat White is dinged up and they still play sloppily in their biggest games. I do not trust this program. |
| 16 | Wisconsin |
11
|
The Badgers are upside down. Passing well, running poorly. I do not see this season ending well. |
| 17 | Cincinnati |
3
|
This is high enough. |
| 18 | Virginia Tech |
3
|
This offense is miserable. How many special teams touchdowns can you count on each game? Not enough. |
| 19 | Florida State |
6
|
I cannot figure out if FSU is about to explode or implode. We have seen this before. A couple of well played games and then ... splat. |
| 20 | Auburn |
6
|
The loss to Mississippi State bothers me ... a lot. But they have been impressive these last two weeks. |
| 21 | Texas |
4
|
I was tempted to drop them from the rankings but they hung with Oklahoma and that has to count for something. Injuries are killing them. |
| 22 | Colorado |
4
|
I know, I know. They lost to Florida State. Did you watch it? They played well and killed themselves with turnovers and untimely penalties. Plus, Hugh Charles did not play. |
| 23 | Tennessee |
3
|
They deserve this ranking on the Georgia win alone. Believe it or not, this team may finish 9-3. |
| 24 | Purdue |
5
|
What happen to the offense? Ohio State may have the nation's best defense so we will give them a pass if they turn it back on this weekend. |
| 25 | Kentucky |
13
|
They have not really beaten anyone. A nice performance this weekend would move them up. A blow out loss precludes them from reentering the poll again. |
Dropped Out: Georgia (#14), Kansas
State (#22), Nebraska (#23), Michigan (#24).
