College football: my Top 25 after week 2

ByMike Marteny

There was some shuffling in my top 25 this week from last week. If you care to see how much, go here.

More from College Football Odds

1. Oregon: Earned this slot with a convincing win over a top ten team.

2. Florida State: Another uninspiring performance has me wondering how good FSU’s offense actually is without all of the weapons from last year.

3. Auburn: No reason to move them out of here either. San Jose State is not a terrible team, but they looked like it on Saturday thanks to Aubie.

4. Oklahoma: They have been easy so far. Let’s see how they look against Tennessee.

5. Alabama: If they keep playing like this, I won’t be able to keep them at 5.

6. Georgia: Big one against South Carolina this weekend.

7. Texas A&M: Looked good, but who didn’t in the SEC this week.

8. USC: The win at Stanford has them deserving of a top ten slot.

9. Baylor: No Petty, no problem! The Bears still topped 70!

10. Mississippi: They have been very impressive so far.

11. Michigan State: The Ducks made them look slow and overmatched.

12. LSU: They haven’t looked great so far, but there are plenty of teams that haven’t.

13. Stanford: They played a really good game against USC. They don’t deserve to be punished much.

14. Notre Dame: Blew out Michigan. That should count for something.

15. Arizona State: This offense is one of the most potent in the Pac 12, which is saying something this year.

16. Wisconsin: Still a good team. If McEvoy comes around, they could win the Big 10(14).

17. Louisville: Still a few questions on offense, but that defense could take them far.

18. UCLA: No excuse for looking that poor against Memphis.

19. Virginia Tech: Impressive road win in a tough environment.

20. Clemson: Still a force to be reckoned with in the ACC.

21. BYU: So, uh, when is that Big 12(10) invite coming?

22. Kansas State: Hard fought win in Ames. They do have some questions though, especially on defense.

22. Ohio State: Honestly, I’m not even sure they belong here.

23. Oklahoma State: Could be a sneaky team in the Big 12(10).

24. Oregon State: Their offense is fine. It’s the defense that could get them in trouble.

25. Missouri: I’m not sure how big that win at Toledo was. The Rockets aren’t as good as last year.

Out of rankings: (17)Nebraska, (23)North Dakota State (if only they played more FBS teams!), (24) East Carolina

Honorable mention:

Nebraska, Pittsburgh, Florida, Duke, Maryland
