1) Oklahoma: 109 points, nearly 1100 yards in a pair of woodshed whippings in their first two games.
2) Florida: The Gators offense was stymied by Miami-FL, so the defense carried the team instead.
3) Ohio State: The Buckeyes clearly were looking ahead to USC in last weeks’ sluggish affair.
4) USC: Trojans have seven seniors starting on defense. Five of them are projected NFL first rounders.
5) Georgia: The Bulldogs travel to South Carolina having scored 20 or less in the last four meetings.
6) Missouri: One additional offensive weapon for the Tigers? Kicker Jeff Wolfert, nailing 50+ yard field goals.
7) LSU: We won’t know if this offense is going to work in the SEC until next week at Auburn.
8) Texas: Longhorns defense allowed more than 400 yards to UTEP; not a good sign.
9) Oregon: The Ducks get a big bump up in my power ratings this week after two blowout wins.
10) Texas Tech: This high flying offense hasn’t fully clicked yet in the first two weeks of action.
11) Penn State: JoePa is suddenly a pointspread monster as a favorite: 10-3 ATS as double digit chalk.
12) South Florida: Late game meltdown spoiled an otherwise dominating performance at UCF.
13) Wisconsin: Wisky responded well to adversity vs. Marshall. Down 14-0, they scored 51 straight.
14) BYU: Cougars have dominated in conference L3 years, but struggled when stepping up in class.
15) Kansas: Jayhawks defense hasn’t allowed a TD yet, but their offense can’t seem to run the football.
16) Utah: When focused, this team is dominant, but they’ve had at least one bad half in both games.
17) Arizona State: Another slow start, big finish for the Sun Devils. Weak first quarter play again!
18) West Virginia: The team that lost to East Carolina last week sure didn’t look like a Top 25 squad.
19) Tennessee: Vols have had a week to work out their offensive kinks with new coordinator Clawson.
20) Alabama: Nick Saban was not happy after ‘Bama got outgained 318-172 at home against Tulane.
21) Arizona: Pointspread machine written all over them! Explosive O, solid D, modest expectations.
22) California: Another PAC-10 powerhouse that came into the season poised to exceed expectations.
23) East Carolina: My gut tells me they should be ranked higher. My strict power ratings say lower.
24) TCU: This defense is downright scary, allowing less than 350 yards and only ten points thusfar.
25) Auburn: Chris Todd has won the starting QB job, but his backs can’t seem to avoid losing fumbles.
