| Rank | Team | Comments | Prior | |
| 1 |  | Alabama | Alabama rolled over Kentucky 48-7. The Tide have three home games in a row, starting with Tennessee. | 1 |
| 2 |  | Ohio State | The toughest part of Ohio State's Big Ten schedule is already over. They face Iowa and PSU at home next. | 2 |
| 3 |  | Oregon | The Ducks allowed 24 points against Washington, the most they have given up all season. They still won handily. | 3 |
| 4 |  | Clemson | Clemson may have been caught looking ahead to Florida State, but they managed to beat BC 24-14. | 5 |
| 5 |  | Florida State | The game of the year in the ACC is coming up this week when Florida State heads to Clemson. | 6 |
| 6 |  | Louisville | Louisville only scored 24 points in their win against Rutgers on Thursday night, but Bridgewater was still impressive. | 7 |
| 7 |  | LSU | The Tigers defense shut down Florida in a 17-6 win. Next up is a trip to Ole Miss on Saturday night. | 10 |
| 8 |  | Texas A&M | The Aggies held on to beat Ole Miss in an absolute thriller. More fun guaranteed next week against 5-1 Auburn. | 9 |
| 9 |  | UCLA | UCLA remained perfect with a win over Cal, but the real tests come in the next two weeks against Stanford and UO. | 12 |
| 10 |  | South Carolina | South Carolina went to Arkansas and absolutely crushed the Razorbacks. A trip to Tennessee may yield similar results. | 11 |
| 11 |  | Stanford | Trevor Reilly led the defense and the Utah offense did enough to shock Stanford 27-21. Next up is UCLA. | 4 |
| 12 |  | Miami (FL) | Miami should have little trouble at North Carolina on Thursday night. The Tar Heels are a disappointing 1-4. | 14 |
| 13 |  | Baylor | Baylor surpassed Kansas State to reach 5-0. The loss by Oklahoma could make the Big 12 race very interesting too. | 17 |
| 14 |  | Georgia | The depleted Bulldogs fell to Missouri at home. Now Vanderbilt will try and take advantage of Georgia. | 8 |
| 15 |  | Missouri | Missouri hosts Florida this week and could make a huge jump up the rankings with another quality win. | 25 |
| 16 |  | Oklahoma | The Sooners suffered their first loss of the season in the Red River Rivalry. They'll win again at Kansas. | 13 |
| 17 |  | Fresno State | Fresno State had last week off and the Mountain West is toughening up. Even hosting UNLV will not be too easy. | 18 |
| 18 |  | Texas Tech | The Red Raiders held on to beat Iowa State 42-35. This week they hit the road to face West Virginia. | 21 |
| 19 |  | Nebraska | Nebraska did not need Taylor Martinez to beat up on Purdue. Now he gets a week off to get healthy. | 19 |
| 20 |  | Florida | Florida's anemic offense could do nothing against LSU. It will not get any easier with a trip to Mizzou this week. | 15 |
| 21 |  | Oklahoma State | Oklahoma State needed a week off after a rough start to Big 12 play. This week they host TCU. | 23 |
| 22 |  | Michigan | The Wolverines eventually lost to Penn State in a four overtime thriller. The defense will be tested against IU too. | 16 |
| 23 |  | Virginia Tech | The Hokies defense is looking like what we expect from Coach Beamer. FSU and Clemson are not on the schedule. | NR |
| 24 |  | Northern Illinois | Northern Illinois had trouble with 1-6 Akron, but they were able to hold on for the 27-20 victory. | 24 |
| 25 |  | Washington | Washington held in there with Oregon for a while, but the Ducks offense proved to much in the end. | 20 |
