October 8, 2011 · CSM Staff
| Rank | Team | Comments | Prior | |
| 1 |  |
Alabama | Rarely does a team get a couple “easy” games in the SEC, but Bama gets Ole Miss after dismantling Vanderbilt. |
1 |
| 2 |  |
Oklahoma |
The Sooners dominated Texas and now OU needs to take care of business with some tough road games upcoming. |
2 |
| 3 |  |
LSU |
There is never a week off in the SEC and the Tigers will have a game in front of 102,000 fans at Neyland Stadium. |
3 |
| 4 |  |
Wisconsin | Coming off of a bye week, the Badgers practically get another one against Indiana before a couple road trips. |
4 |
| 5 |  |
Oklahoma State | Oklahoma State’s offense is cruising. Texas could not stop OU and they won’t be able to stop OSU either. |
5 |
| 6 |  |
Boise State | BSU doesn’t have any tough games left. The only way they avoid the BCS is getting upset on the road…like to CSU. |
6 |
| 7 |  |
Stanford |
Stanford gets both the Washington schools in the next two weeks before the schedule starts getting tougher. |
7 |
| 8 |  |
Clemson |
Clemson keeps looking impressive. The schedule lightens up, but the Tigers need to get the job done on the road. |
8 |
| 9 |  |
Oregon |
Oregon has looked really good since their opening weekend loss to LSU. Arizona State will be a nice win. |
9 |
| 10 |  |
Nebraska | Nebraska should be exhausted after their amazing comeback victory over Ohio State. They get a week off to rest. |
10 |
| 11 |  |
Arkansas | Arkansas looked pretty good against Auburn. They’ll need a week off before hitting the road for two games. |
12 |
| 12 |  |
South Carolina |
South Carolina heads to Mississippi State this week to face a very, very desperate Bulldog squad that needs a W. |
13 |
| 13 |  |
West Virginia |
West Virginia pulled away from Uconn last week and get a week off before road games at Syracuse and Rutgers. |
15 |
| 14 |  |
Michigan |
Michigan’s first road game was last week against Northwestern. Their first hostile crowd will be this week at MSU. |
17 |
| 15 |  |
Arizona State | Arizona State has now beaten USC and Utah. The Pac-12 South will go through ASU, but OU will open things up. |
18 |
| 16 |  |
Virginia Tech | VT knocked off Miami in a thriller. Wake Forest is coming off of a win against FSU and have the confidence to win. |
16 |
| 17 |  |
Georgia Tech |
Georgia Tech keeps rolling along, but things get much tougher after this week’s game at Virginia. |
21 |
| 18 |  |
Illinois |
Illinois’ schedule toughens up, starting with a game against Ohio State. After that it is a two game road trip. |
23 |
| 19 |  |
Kansas State | Kansas State is shooting up the rankings with a couple huge victories. Now they have to win on the road at TTU. |
NR |
| 20 |  |
Texas |
The Longhorns got exposed by Oklahoma. They have another tough game with the Cowboys coming to Austin. |
11 |
| 21 |  |
Michigan State |
MSU has won three games in a row against rival Michigan. If the defense can stop Denard, they’ll make it four. |
20 |
| 22 |  |
Florida |
Losing to LSU without your starting quarterback is understandable. UF better turn it around for a trip to Auburn. |
14 |
| 23 |  |
Texas A&M | It was not easy, but TAMU beat Texas Tech last week. If they want to stay in the Top 25, they will have to beat BU. |
24 |
| 24 |  |
Penn State |
Penn State never looks pretty, but they get the job done. Hosting Purdue should give the Lions another win. |
25 |
| 25 |  |
Houston |
Houston is 6-0 and could very easily be 10-0. After a bye week, Houston hosts an offensively challenged Marshall. |
