USC remains at the top for
now. They face Nebraska in Lincoln this weekend. Meanwhile, the LSU Tigers continue to
claw at the heels of the Trojans.
The team that is really on the move is Oklahoma. The Sooners pounded the Miami Hurricanes
in such an impressive fashion they jumped in the polls four spots to number
3.
The Sooners are followed by
West Virginia, Florida and Texas who have all played well but have done
so against inferior competition.
The
Cal Bears moved up one spot to number seven despite nearly blowing a 23-point
lead on the road to Colorado last weekend. Behind Cal is Wisconsin at
number eight, and then Louisville and UCLA to round out the Top
10.
Ohio
State is at 11, followed by Penn State, Nebraska and
Rutgers.
Georgia Tech debuts in the poll at 15 after embarrassing
Notre Dame in week one and then slamming Samford 69-14 in week two. Arkansas is at 16 just ahead of the poll’s other big
climber, Oregon, who makes their debut at 17. Clemson, South
Carolina and Virginia Tech are next.
Hawaii remains ranked even though they
narrowly escaped Louisiana Tech last weekend in an overtime win. They trail Boston College by a mere 10 votes for the 21
spot. At 23 is Texas A&M who is
followed by a pair of SEC schools, Tennessee and Georgia.
