| Rank | Team | Comments | Prior | |
| 1 |  | Alabama | Alabama does not really need revenge against Texas A&M despite losing last season, but they will get it anyway. | 1 |
| 2 |  | Ohio State | Not suprisingly Ohio State crushed San Diego State, but the injury to Braxton Miller is cause for concern. | 2 |
| 3 |  | Oregon | The Virginia defense was no much for the Ducks last week. Now they will pick apart Tennessee. | 3 |
| 4 |  | Stanford | Stanford got off to a slow start in their season opener, but got the win. Win two comes at Army this week. | 4 |
| 5 |  | Texas A&M | The Aggies let Sam Houston State hang around for a while, but won comfortably. The huge game against Bama awaits. | 7 |
| 6 |  | Clemson | Clemson crushed South Carolina State 52-13. They take a week off before heading to NC State on Thursday night. | 8 |
| 7 |  | Georgia | Georgia followed up their loss at Clemson with a huge conference victory over South Carolina. | 9 |
| 8 |  | Michigan | Devin Gardner was great against Notre Dame and now the Wolverines will be favored until November. | 17 |
| 9 |  | Louisville | Louisville's toughest game of the season could be coming up this week when they head to Kentucky. | 10 |
| 10 |  | LSU | LSU gets another warm up game this week against Kent State. So far they have looked surprisingly good on offense. | 12 |
| 11 |  | South Carolina | The Gamecocks fell at Georgia in their conference opener and now they host Vanderbilt. | 5 |
| 12 |  | Florida State | The Seminoles probably will not be tested until they head to Clemson on 10/19, but Nevada can score some points. | 13 |
| 13 |  | Notre Dame | Notre Dame's defense could not handle Michigan. Handling Purdue will be much, much easier. | 6 |
| 14 |  | Oklahoma | Oklhoma did not look all that great against West Virginia, but they did win 16-7. This week they face Tulsa. | 14 |
| 15 |  | Nebraska | The relatively easy games are will take a one week hiatus with UCLA coming to town. | 16 |
| 16 |  | Miami (FL) | The Hurricanes dropped Florida by a score of 21-16. They get to enjoy that one for a couple weeks now. | 23 |
| 17 |  | Florida | Florida's offense never got much going against Miami. After a week off, the SEC slate begins. | 11 |
| 18 |  | UCLA | We should learn a lot about UCLA when they head to Lincoln to take on the Cornhuskers this Saturday. | 18 |
| 19 |  | Northwestern | The Wildcats made it look easy against Syracuse. It will actually be easy this week against Western Michigan. | 20 |
| 20 |  | Oklahoma State | Oklahoma State scored 56 points against Texas-San Antonio, but they did allow 35. Lamar is up next. | 21 |
| 21 |  | Mississippi | After a close victory at Vandy and an easy win over SEMO, Ole Miss could burst onto the scene with a win at Texas. | 22 |
| 22 |  | Wisconsin | With a trio of talented rushers and the occasional TD pass to Jared Abbrederis, the Badger offense is looking good. | 24 |
| 23 |  | TCU | TCU has a short week with Texas Tech coming up on Thursday night and they will be without QB Casey Pachall. | 25 |
| 24 |  | Baylor | The Bears tallied 70 points and 781 yards of offense on the Bulls of Buffalo just one week after scoring 69 points. | NR |
| 25 |  | Texas | The Texas defense was absolutely awful during their loss to BYU. Ole Miss could knock UT out of the top 25 for good. | 15 |
