Top 25
Some big shakeups after early season results. Texas falls from #5 to #18 after losing to Colorado State, and #13 Nebraska falls out of the Top 25 entirely after losing to UTEP. West Virginia is this week’s biggest riser, going from unranked to #12 thanks to their 40-0 destruction of Penn State. The season’s still early and we’re working out the kinks of who the true playoff contenders are, but everyone in the top 8 feels pretty legit. Someone snuck in Wisconsin and Arizona State into the top 10, but if they have staying power, they’ll show it.

Conference Standings
| SEC : |

Who would’ve thought, after 1 week, the two SEC teams with losses were #4 Georgia and #5 Texas. It’s not getting any easier for Texas, who travels to #5 Michigan this week. Georgia will improve to 1-1 as they face Tennessee Tech, unless they pull an Army. For the rest of teams, it’s business as usual, but Vanderbilt continues lurking as a darkhorse after beating Michael Vick and Virginia Tech.

Not a great opening weekend for the Big 10, as USC, Nebraska, and Penn State all start 0-1. Even UCLA and Maryland were darkhorse playoff contenders that now have a loss on their resume. 1997 Nebraska has a big upcoming game against 1996 Colorado, so we’ll see if Scott Frost can run the ball against the Buffs. Michigan can establish themselves as a title favorite if they beat 2005 Texas this week.

TCU lost to a really good, Andrew Luck-led Stanford team, and the rest of the conference handled their business. Big games this week include 2013 Baylor at 2008 Utah, and 2021 Pitt at 2009 Cincinnati.

2 big tests this week. Oregon State at 2021 San Diego State, and Washington State hosts 2008 Texas Tech. The Mike Leach bowl should be fun.

Hawaii looks scary, beating a pretty good 1998 UCLA team. This conference is probably a 3-horse race between them, Nevada, and Boise. Boise has a huge “go big or go home” matchup against 2014 Oregon this weeek.

Look for Northern Illinois @ Notre Dame as a potential upset. Jordan Lynch was a Heisman finalist, and Notre Dame is reeling from an 0-1 start. Lots of G5 spot playoff contenders in this conference, although Miami (OH) fumbled their first test against Northwestern.
