I know that some people will want to point out the flaws so here it is.

Lots of Movement.
Still lots of undefeated teams so it's still difficult.
On the Cusp teams at the end.
Sorry, can't Rank anymore Miami at 1-0 or FSU at 0-1. Not enough sample size no matter how good "I think" they are. They will have to catch up.
If I forgot somebody, sorry, still crowded and will sort itself out later.
Only three 1 loss teams listed.


  1. Oklahoma
  2. Clemson
  3. Alabama
  4. Oklahoma State
  5. Penn State
  6. Washington
  7. Wisconsin
  8. USC

4. USC - Tough OOC schedule
5. Penn State - Play someone good
6. Oklahoma State - Play someone good

11. Florida State - Probably should have ranked them higher

17. Miami

OK, have to ask. @Voltaire26
USC has played a 1-2 Stanford team that just lost to San Diego State and a 1-2 Texas team that got crushed by Maryland. Who have they played????

Florida State is 0-1 and Miami is 1-0.
I know the hurricane fucked them up but is that really enough of a sample size to still have them ranked at this point??? With so many more undefeated teams with 3x's the games???

USC scheduled Notre Dame and Texas - two teams with a great history that can be power houses in any year (schedules are made years in advance). Their easy team is Western Michigan, not exactly the Mercer Bears.

Florida State only game was a a 24-7 loss to Alabama. If you lose to Alabama, Clemson or Oklahoma, there is no shame ... the only question is ... who's your 4th for the playoffs.

We will find out about Miami on October 7th

Their easy team is Western Michigan, not exactly the Mercer Bears. It doesn't matter what teams used to be it matters how they're playing now. Texas, Stanford and Western Michigan don't look like top 50 teams.

This week was damn tough, especially outside the top 12 or so. I think one could make a pretty reasonable argument for my team #37 (Maryland) over my team #20 (Oregon).

You watched these guys play?

I haven't done my poll yet, but I'm not sure either will be in my top 15.

I'm the same way.
With so many to choose from, Maryland will have to win some more to get in. At 2-0 with a win over a bad Texas team, they stay out for now.

I have to give credit for Michigan beating Florida. As for OSU, they always bounce back and will most likely win out the reg season.

The bad Texass team was a fumble on the goaline away from beating USC in double OT. Maryland beat Texass by like 4 scores or something while you have USC ranked 8th. They beat a Western Michigan team who was crushed by MSU and Stanfraud who was beat by San Diego St. lol

Yeah
I know.
All those pieces will fall into place shortly I think.
Texas was a mess that first game.
And USC didn't look great.

Just curious but why do you have Florida State ranked so high? They have only played 1 game and they lost that one. Also you have Stanford ranked #15 and they have 2 losses.
