Good luck ranking anyone past #5. The transitive property is pretty useless at this stage and delineating 2-3 loss teams vs 0-1 loss teams who haven't played anyone isn't easy for any voter who isn't just mailing it in.
1. Texas – Deep ball. Is that legal? Apparently. Longhorns roll after slow start.
2. Florida - Gator O looks ordinary right now. Tebow sacked four times.
3. Alabama – I'm not a SEC conspiracy theorist, but that wasn't an interception?
4. TCU – 9 different ballcarriers in big win over San Diego State. Next up: Utah.
5. Cincinnati – QB Collaros may have Wally Pipped Tony Pike. D was very shaky.
6. Georgia Tech- Barely beat Wake. 6th best team in the country? Maybe not. But make your case for someone else.
7. LSU- They've lost to Bama and Florida. How punishable is that?
8. Miami – Smashed Virginia after competitive first half.
9. Pittsburgh - The 'stache 'chine rolls on. Games down the stretch against Cincy, Notre Dame, West Virginia will tell tale.
10. Boise State – Struggle with an injury racked bad team in La Tech. But they beat Oregon nine weeks ago! What more do you people want?
11. Oregon – Dominated athletically and intellectually by Stanford.
12. USC - Thoroughly unimpressive in Tempe.
13. Ohio State - Win over a gutless Penn St.
14. Iowa - It finally happened. And it will happen again next week.
15. Houston – All offense, no defense is no way to go through life, son.
16. Oklahoma State – Running game and defense bludgeon the Cyclones.
17. Utah - Big showdown in Fort Worth around the corner.
18. Arizona - Control their own destiny in Pac 10.
19. Penn State - They've lost convincingly @ home to every team with a pulse they've played.
20. Clemson - Starting to actually look good.
21. Virginia Tech - Thoroughly unimpressive against East Carolina.
22. Stanford - Love what Harbaugh is doing on The Farm.
23. Auburn - Defense keeps looking shaky.
24. Oregon St - Why not?
25. Navy - They win in in South Bend again. Georgia Tech without RB talent.
