Every week I will rank the top 10 teams for the college football season, up until bowl season, and this is how it will work. I will look at the top 10 teams in the AP poll, and decide based on strength of schedule, opponents they have beaten, who the top 10 teams in the nation should be.
1. LSU-has to be number one right now, after beating Oregon the opening week and not having a fault since, and came out with a quality win against West Virginia last week.
2.Oklahoma-has to be the second best team in the nation, considering how well they have played and all the preseason hype in Quarterback Landry Jones and this program. They have quality wins over #5 Florida State and Missouri which will be key in the BCS polls later on in the year.
3. Alabama- Alabama had a quality win over Penn State in Happy Valley, but a struggling Penn State offense may make that win less impressive for the BCS Polls. Still playing in the SEC, and having a convincing 38-14 win over Arkansas makes them a legit title contender.
4. Oklahoma State- Oklahoma State fresh off a great 30-29 victory over Texas A&M, is also a very good team in the Big 12 this season, and is being led by Brandon Weeden, there star senior Quarterback who has thrown for nearly 1600 yards through four games and is a main reason they have the 2nd best passing offense in all of college football.
5. Wisconsin- I believe that Wisconsin is a very good team this season which will face a tough test against new big ten member Nebraska, but should be able to come away with the victory. I believe that Wisconsin is the best team in the Big Ten and may surprise some people this year.
6. Boise State- I'm not a person who is on the bandwagon for this team, or any of the non BCS automatic qualifiers. This team's best victory is against a very overrated Georgia team at the Georgia Dome, home of the Atlanta Falcons. They will have to go undefeated and have a impressive win over TCU later on for them to make a big BCS Bowl game.
7. Stanford- They do not have an extremely tough schedule this season, but they do have Andrew Luck, The wonderful Quarterback. Who doesn't want a little bit of luck on their side? They have relied on that very strong defense they have this season.
8. Oregon- This is where I started to run into issues. Even with the loss they have so far this year, it was against easily the best team in the Nation, LSU in week one. Oregon must win out if they would hope for a shot at the BCS Title Game.
9. Nebraska- This week I have them as the number 9 team in the nation, but they will fall this week after they lose to Wisconsin. This team has a absolutely terrible offense, and most likely will have to hold Wisconsin to 21 points if they would like to come away with a victory.
10. Florida- This may surprise some people, but the Florida Gators are a very good team in college sports this season. They have a tough match up against Alabama this week; it will be a very good game though I believe Bama will come out on top.
Games to Watch:
Alabama @ Florida
Nebraska @ Wisconsin
