1. Florida: Garnered a win over Tennessee, but by fewer points than predicted. Definitely an outright #1, anchored by their crowned prince, Tim Tebow.
2. Texas: The Longhorns garnered their revenge against the Red Raiders, but most likely wanted a larger gap between the two scores, but hey- a win is a win.
3. Alabama: 53-7 win over North Texas… Congrats? They will have true tests in the upcoming weeks against Arkansas and Ole Miss.
4. Mississippi: A win against Southeastern Louisiana, another stop on the Rebel’s less than impressive SEC schedule.
5. Penn State
6. California
7. LSU: The first two weekends in October will introduce the Tigers to the meat of their SEC foes.
8. Boise State: If you’ve read my previous post… you know how I feel about this one. Needless to say, I was rooting hard for Fresno State on Friday! With BYU and Utah faltering, Boise is the last BCS buster in the way of the Horned Frogs!
9. Miami (FL): I’m very glad to see the eleven spot jump for the Hurricanes. Thursday night’s game was very impressive, especially infallible and prolific quarterback, Jacory Harris.
10. Oklahoma
11. Virginia Tech: Last second TD miracle saves the Hokies from being a 1-2 team…. At least they will be a 2-2 team after their showdown with Miami next weekend.
12. USC: Despite the warnings of Washington being a “trap game,” Carroll’s crew fell victim to the big victory hangover.
13. Ohio State
14. Cincinnati: A win over the Beavers of Oregon State let the Bearcats leapfrog (no pun intended) my TCU Horned Frogs in the rankings.
15. TCU: I’m still upset we have not jumped up in the rankings. I suppose we need a few more impressive games and opponents under our belts. Hopefully we can stay strong… unlike our other Mountain West counterparts.
16. Oklahoma State
17. Houston: They were idle and jumped four spots- What the heck?
18. Florida State: Unfortunately for their #19 neighbor, the Seminoles meant business in Provo.
19. Brigham Young: Poor, poor BYU… That was heart breaking… They didn’t even know what hit them.
20. Kansas
21. Georgia: Looks like Arkansas may be a lot tougher than advertised, just ask the Bulldogs- they barely survived.
22. North Carolina
23. Michigan: Keep it up, Rich Rod!
24. Washington: I tip my hat to Steve Sarkisian. For a team that went 0-12 last year, a 2-0 start is truly remarkable. QB Jake Locker has also done an amazing job for the Huskies.
25. Nebraska
As you can see, there's never a dull moment in the world of NCAA football. Were there any other games, surprises, defeats, or anything you found to be noteworthy?
I think it's too early in the season for any major predictions but it looks like the MWC is moving down (except for your Frogs!) and the PAC 10 is moving up.
