Florida
Gators |
8-0 |
3-3-1 |
It took a few weeks, but the Gators finally looked like the No. 1 team in the land against Georgia. |
| 2 |
 |
Texas
Longhorns |
8-0 |
3-4-1 |
The Longhorns had no issues dispatching Oklahoma State. They appear to be destined for a spot in the BCS Title Game. |
| 3 |
 |
Alabama
Crimson Tide |
8-0 |
5-3 |
The Crimson Tide are rested up for their game against LSU. Now we must wonder if they actually found an offense to match up with their stopping unit. |
| 4 |
 |
Cincinnati
Bearcats |
8-0 |
5-2 |
Cincy still is without Tony Pike for the time being. But Zach Collaros is showing that he has what it takes to keep this team unbeaten. |
| 5 |
 |
Boise State
Broncos |
8-0 |
6-1 |
The Broncos routed San Jose State last Saturday. But the biggest move they made was when the Ducks killed USC. Will that give them any shot at a national title? Probably not. |
| 6 |
 |
TCU
Horned Frogs |
8-0 |
5-2 |
If you're looking for big "chalk" to cover, then take TCU. The Horned Frogs have covered their last two games listed as 22.5 favorites. |
| 7 |
 |
Oregon
Ducks |
7-1 |
6-2 |
Oregon ran all over the Trojans last Saturday. And with that win, the Ducks put themselves in the driver seat for the Pac-10 championship. |
| 8 |
 |
Iowa
Hawkeyes |
9-0 |
6-2 |
The Hawkeyes are the epitome of a four-quarter team. They've went into the fourth trailing four times this season...they won each of those games. |
| 9 |
 |
Penn State
Nittany Lions |
8-1 |
4-4 |
JoePa's kids sure seemed like they were in look-ahead mode in the first half of their game with Northwestern, but still pulled away. Will that come to haunt them against the Buckeyes? |
| 10 |
 |
Georgia Tech
Yellow Jackets |
8-1 |
6-2 |
The Yellow Jackets have proven that you can let everyone know what you're going to do on offense and still be able to do what you want. Their latest example is dropping 404 rushing yards on Vanderbilt in Nashville. |
| 11 |
 |
LSU
Tigers |
7-1 |
4-2-2 |
LSU has a great defense with a so-so offense. They'll get to see if they can pull out a win against a similar squad in the Crimson Tide. |
| 12 |
 |
USC
Trojans |
6-2 |
2-6 |
It sure looks like the seven-year reign of the Trojans is about to end in the Pac-10. Bettors could care less since they can't seem to cover any spread. |
| 13 |
 |
Houston
Cougars |
7-1 |
5-1 |
The Cougars were within a minute of facing overtime with Southern Mississippi. Good thing that Case Keenum can pull off a win in just 30 seconds. |
| 14 |
 |
Pittsburgh
Panthers |
7-1 |
5-2 |
Pittsburgh has had a week off to savor its win over the Bulls. That happiness may be short lived as the Panthers are 9-14 SU after an open date on their schedule. |
| 15 |
 |
Ohio State
Buckeyes |
7-2 |
7-2 |
The Bucks covered as 44-point home favorites against New Mexico State. Yet you have to wonder if Terrelle Pryor can avenge his late fumble against the Nittany Lions this week. |
| 16 |
 |
Utah
Utes |
7-1 |
2-6 |
The Utes got the win against Wyoming, but there is no excuse for having to rally against such a bad team. |
| 17 |
 |
Miami
Hurricanes |
6-2 |
4-3 |
The 'Canes have a long way to go from returning to being "The U." But last week's win against Wake Forest shows they are on the right track. |
| 18 |
 |
Oklahoma State
Cowboys |
6-2 |
3-3-1 |
The 'Pokes took their best shot at Texas last weekend and failed miserably. Don't be surprised if they have problems with Iowa State this week. |
| 19 |
 |
Notre Dame
Fighting Irish |
6-2 |
2-6 |
Is it really considered a neutral site win if you beat up on Washington State? |
| 20 |
 |
Oklahoma
Sooners |
5-3 |
2-4-1 |
Landry Jones is looking better and better with each start for the Sooners. He threw for 294 yards and four touchdowns against a game Kansas State squad. |
| 21 |
 |
California
Golden Bears |
6-2 |
3-4 |
The Golden Bears kept rolling with a win against Arizona State. But this was an extremely sloppy win for them. Cal will not be able to win against the Beavers this week if they give a similar performance. |
| 22 |
 |
Virginia Tech
Hokies |
5-3 |
3-5 |
Ryan Williams' fumble not only cost the Hokies a chance at beating North Carolina, but also crippled their hopes of making the ACC Title Game. |
| 23 |
 |
BYU
Cougars |
6-2 |
3-4-1 |
BYU has had a week off to digest its loss to the Horned Frogs. Will they be able to channel that frustration into a win at Wyoming? |
| 24 |
 |
Wisconsin
Badgers |
6-2 |
3-4 |
Scott Tolzien didn't have his best game for the Badgers against Purdue. That didn't matter when you have John Clay rushing for 123 yards and three touchdowns. |
| 25 |
 |
Clemson
Tigers |
5-3 |
5-2 |
Clemson is playing its best right now, winning three straight games. Now the Tigers face Florida State for the edge in the ACC Atlantic Division race. |
