Alabama is obviously my top team in college football. If there were any doubts, the won the national championship last year, and they play in the SEC. Now let’s get to business.
1. Alabama (1–0) Up Next – (18) Penn State (1–0)
The blew out their week one opponents. That was even without reigning Heisman award winner Mark Ingram. Penn State will be a tougher challenge but that ‘Bama defense will be too fast for Joe Paterno’s Nittany Lions.
2. Ohio State (1–0) Up Next – (11) Miami (Fl.) (1–0)
Marshall was no match for Terrell Pryor and the Buckeyes. Then again the Hurricanes aren’t the Thundering Herd are they?
3. Boise State (1–0) Up Next – OFF
They squeaked out a win against the former seventh best team in the country, Virginia Tech. They have the next week off but could be on their way to a national championship game.
4. Texas (1–0) Up Next – Wyoming (1–0)
Texas didn’t look overly impressive against Rice but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt for now. Plus I think Colt McCoy’s replacement, Garret Gilbert, will be great sooner rather than later.
5. TCU (1–0) Up Next – Tennessee Tech (0–1)
They took out formerly ranked Oregon State, but it wasn’t an overwhelming win. I believe they will continue to win and get another BCS bowl berth.
6. Florida (1–0) Up Next – South Florida(1–0)
John Brantley didn’t play the greatest but then again he is replacing Tim Tebow. Let’s give the guy a little slack and time to develop.
