College Football Rankings Week 8

LSU running back Spencer Ware

1.LSU is still my number one and will be until they lose a game. They are the best team in the nation and have a game at Death Valley where they will be hosting the Auburn Tigers. LSU will be without corner back Tyrann Mathieu and star running back Spencer Ware. They also will be without Tharold Simon. Spencer Ware is their leading rusher with 512 yards and six touchdowns.

2.Alabama follows right behind LSU. SEC rivals LSU and Alabama are the two best teams which is no surprise considering the depth in the SEC. Alabama hosts Tennessee this weekend before having a bye week before facing LSU at home November 5th.

3.Oklahoma continues to stay at number three. They will be in good position when LSU and Alabama play as long as they remain undefeated and can beat a Cinderella Kansas State team which is currently 6-0.

4. Wisconsin follows Oklahoma to take the fourth spot. Wisconsin has a big game at Michigan State this week, but as long as they can get by this week they will be in good shape for a good bowl game, most likely the Rose Bowl unless they can jump either 'Bama or Oklahoma in the BCS.

5.Oklahoma State breaks the top five this week. They will be able to squeak by Missouri and remain unbeaten and improve to 7-0. Their biggest competition this season will be the in-state rival Sooners of Oklahoma.

6. Boise State continues to stay in the top ten every season and not get a chance at a BCS game. Since they come from a bad conference they have a much more difficult way into a BCS bowl, but I'd like to see them get a chance at a big bowl game but lose, of course, since I can't stand Boise State. They play the worst teams and get the credit of playing a top ten team every week.

7. Stanford follows shortly behind Boise. Stanford will be able to pass Boise in a week or so but for now, I need to see more from them to prove themselves. Being on the East Coast, I haven't really gotten a chance to see them play much this season.

8. Arkansas is number eight this week because they have been able to keep winning, and they have really recovered from the loss against Alabama in week four.  They will be relying on quarterback Tyler Wilson to lead them the rest of the way.

9. Oregon is my number nine after coming back to beat Arizona State last week 41-27. I'm not sure if it was a breakdown for Arizona State or Oregon wanted more; either way they are still only a one loss team.

10. Clemson rounds up the top ten, even though they remain undefeated. They play in a weak ACC conference and have proven themselves, but I'd like to see them play a top ten caliber team to see how they would match up.
