November 9, 2014 · CSM Staff
| Rank | Team | Comments | Prior | |
| 1 |  |
Florida State | Once again Florida State did not look all that impressive, but once again they won. A trip to Miami might be interesting. | 1 |
| 2 |  |
Mississippi State | We’ll look past that easy win against Tennessee-Martin and started looking ahead to the trip to Alabama. | 2 |
| 3 |  |
Alabama | Alabama survived overtime at LSU. Mississippi State awaits for another massive SEC West contest. | 3 |
| 4 |  |
Oregon | Oregon survived what should be their last real test until the Pac-12 Championship game. | 5 |
| 5 |  |
Baylor | Baylor will finally get some respect after beating Oklahoma on the road 48-14. Holding OU to 14 is impressive. | 9 |
| 6 |  |
TCU | The Horned Frogs looked impressive yet again, this time beating Kansas State 41-20. A trip to KU is next. | 10 |
| 7 |  |
Ohio State | Now the playoff talk will begin. The Buckeyes face Minnesota, Indiana and Michigan to finish the regular season. | 11 |
| 8 |  |
Arizona State | Arizona State’s defense had some huge plays in the Sun Devils 55-31 win against Notre Dame. | 12 |
| 9 |  |
Nebraska | Nebraska got a week off to prepare for a huge trip to Wisconsin. They also play top West teams Minnesota and Iowa. | 13 |
| 10 |  |
Mississippi | Ole Miss ended their losing skid by beating Presbyterian 48-0. They have a week off before heading to Arkansas. | 14 |
| 11 |  |
Michigan State | The usually stout Michigan State defense could not contain J.T. Barrett. Now a Big Ten title looks very unlikely. | 4 |
| 12 |  |
Auburn | Auburn provided more drama this week vs. Texas A&M, but this time they ended up on the losing end. | 6 |
| 13 |  |
Notre Dame | Turnovers doomed the Irish in a big 55-31 loss at Arizona State. Now Notre Dame needs to finish strong. | 7 |
| 14 |  |
Georgia | Georgia got back on track by beating Kentucky 63-31. This week they host Auburn in their SEC finale. | 17 |
| 15 |  |
Kansas State | Kansas State suffered their first loss in Big 12 play. A conference title is feasible, but the playoffs are a stretch. | 8 |
| 16 |  |
Marshall | Marshall stayed perfect by crushing Southern Miss. Rice will prove to be tougher, but that game is at home. | 18 |
| 17 |  |
UCLA | UCLA picked up a nice road win at Washington. They will take a week off before a homestand vs. USC and Stanford. | 19 |
| 18 |  |
Arizona | Arizona did not have too much trouble with lowly Colorado at home. That will be the end of the easy games. | 20 |
| 19 |  |
Clemson | Clemson got past Wake Forest 34-20 on Thursday night and they will stay on the road and face a tougher test at GT. | 21 |
| 20 |  |
Duke | Duke scored 17 points in the fourth quarter to win at Syracuse 27-10. That was their last road game of the year. | 22 |
| 21 |  |
Colorado State | Garrett Grayson and Colorado State made easy work of Hawaii. The Rams still need Boise State to lose though. | 24 |
| 22 |  |
Wisconsin | Now we will start to see what Wisconsin can really do. The Big Ten West is likely on the line against Nebraska. | 25 |
| 23 |  |
Georgia Tech | Georgia Tech ran for 479 yards in an easy win over North Carolina State, but the ACC Coastal title is out of reach. | NR |
| 24 |  |
LSU | LSU suffered a tough overtime loss at home to Alabama and may be the best three loss team in the country. | 15 |
| 25 |  |
Oklahoma | Oklahoma lost their third game of the year, but they too have an argument for being the best three loss team. | 16 |
