Rank	Team	Rec	PRV	Comment
1		8-0	-	The Horns keep rolling as they hand Oklahoma St its first loss of the season with a 28-24 victory. The tough tests continue next week as a meeting with the Red Raiders. This game has huge Championship implications. Up Next: Texas Tech Red Raiders
2		8-0	-	The defense was stout again this week as they hold the opponent to 9 points. Nick Saban may not be too popular in Miami but the people of Tuscaloosa are glad to have him behind the bench. Up Next: Arkansas State Red Wolves
3		9-0	-	With the second team quarterback playing the fourth quarter, the Lions trailing 6-3 in Columbus, Pat Devlon leads two scoring drives as the Nittany Lions remain undefeated and make the race more interesting. Joe Pa gets the proverbial monkey off his back winning at The Horseshoe for the first time in 8 tries since joining the Big 10. The Lions need to avoid a letdown next week, they must remain focused against the Hawkeyes. Up Next: Iowa Hawkeyes
4		7-1	-	There has not been a team thus far that has been able to slow Sam Bradford and the Sooners down. They have scored at least 35 points in every game this season and are second in the nation in scoring. Up Next: Nebraska Cornhuskers
5		6-1	-	Florida continued its domination over Kentucky this week routing the Wildcats 63-5. Huge game next week for the Gators as they travel to Athens, Georgia to take on the Bulldogs. Up Next: Georgia Bulldogs
6		8-0	1	The Big 12 South has been the toughest division in all of college football this year. The Red Raiders are clicking on all cylinders, at home and on the road they find ways to score points. They may very well be the toughest offense to dissect. Up Next: Texas Longhorns
7		6-1	1	The Trojans hung on to win this week against an very underrated Arizona team that has shown improvement over the last 4 years. The Trojans played very well on defense and remain among the top in the nation in scoring defense. Up Next: Washington Huskies
8		6-1	-	The Bulldogs played a perfect road game this week in a very hostile environment. In arguably one of the loudest stadiums in the country the Bulldogs beat the Tigers up and down the field. Up Next: Florida Gators
9		7-0	2	Bye Week. Up Next: New Mexico Lobos
10		7-0	3	The class of the WAC has been the Broncos for many years now, the Broncos have their sites set on the larger picture however, a BCS Bowl bid. Up Next: New Mexico St Aggies
11		8-1	5	Jimmy Young made all the big plays on Saturday as TCU dominated a struggling Wyoming team. This is a very good 1 loss football team that didn’t give its best effort against Oklahoma. Up Next: UNLV Runnin Rebels
12		6-2	3	The Tigers got back on track this week as they crushed the Buffaloes 58-0. Chase Daniels tied his own record with 5 touchdown passes and the offense found its rhythm again. Up Next: Baylor Bears
13		7-1	4	The Cougars did not look as good as they have all season this past week, however, with a bunch of teams dropping big games BYU moves into the Top 15 of the Power Rankings. Up Next: Colorado State Rams
14		7-1	5	They gave the No.1 team in the nation their stiffest test so far this season as they lost a heart breaker 28-24. Oklahoma State may not be playing in the National Championship, however, they are as talented as the two teams that will. Up Next: Iowa State Cyclones
15		7-2	5	The Buckeyes had the No.3 team on the ropes this past week and let the victory slip through their hands. The Buckeyes did not win the battle of the trenches as they averaged less than 2 yards per carry on the ground. Up Next: Bye
16		7-1	NR	Who would have imagined that this team could have made such a large turnaround over the course of one off season. Watching the Gophers play last year one would have thought that the program was in shambles, apparently not. Up Next: Northwestern Wildcats
17		7-2	NR	There is no doubt that the Spartans have struggled to win in Ann Arbor over the years, winning only once since 2001, but on Saturday the Spartans led by Javon Ringer had the Big House as quiet as it has been in a while. Up Next: Wisconsin Badgers
18		6- 1	NR	The Seminoles got it done again, they continue to play well, however, it’s there are many questions that hang in the balance about how good they really are. Up Next: Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
19		5-2	7	The Tigers were badly outplayed by a superior Georgia Bulldogs this week and the issues in Baton Rouge may be deeper than just an unproven quarterback as the defense was shredded again this week. Next Up: Tulane Green Wave
20		8-0	3	They overcame a 5 point half time deficit to score 35 unanswered points in the second half and win by 30. Up Next: Arkansas Razorbacks
21		8-0	1	Ball State remained unbeaten, with the inspirational Dante Love on hand to watch his team move to 8-0 the Cardinals posted another strong performance to continue their best start in 43 years. Up Next: Northern Illinois Huskies
22		6-2	4	After a brain cramp for a defensive holding penalty on a field goal attempt allowed the Cardinals to run the clock out, the Bulls have no one to blame but themselves. Up Next: Cincinnati Bearcats
23		6-2	NR	Future NFL’er Donald Brown set the single season rushing record 8 games into the season. The Huskies started a freshman at place kicker and quarterback this week, and one can only speculate the kind of season they may have had if they stayed injury free. Up Next: Syracuse Orangemen
24		6-2	NR	The Tar Heels got back on track a week after a tough overtime loss. Hakeem Nicks was unstoppable catching a number of long touchdown passes, finishing with 4 touchdowns and 139 yards receiving. Up Next: Bye
25		5-3	NR	After starting the season 1-3, the Cavaliers have reeled off 4 straight wins against some notable opponents. They have a tough end to the schedule and will need to run the table to have a shot at an ACC title. Up Next: Miami Hurricanes

Honorable Mention: Boston College, Western Michigan, Notre Dame, South Carolina, Air Force, Northwestern, Oregon, Maryland, Georgia Tech, Kansas, Northwestern, West Virginia, Cincinnati, Louisville, Central Michigan, California
