| 1 |  |
LSU |
LSU has an easy game against WKU this week to help recover from that huge victory at Alabama. |
2 |
| 2 |  |
Oklahoma State |
Oklahoma State got all they could handle from Kansas State. A trip to Texas Tech won’t be a walk in the park either. |
3 |
| 3 |  |
Stanford |
Stanford’s last road trip went off without a hitch, but now everybody is looking forward to this week’s Ducks game. |
4 |

Boise State |
The game of the century, at least the MWC version, is this week as Boise State hosts the Horned Frogs of TCU. |
5 |
| 5 |  |
Alabama |
Bama lost the game of the century in a defensive battle. The cowbells will be loud at Mississippi State this week. |

| 6 |  |
Oregon |
How about this for the “West of the Mississippi Game of the Century?” Oregon travels to Stanford for a huge game. |
6 |
| 7 |  |
Oklahoma |
Oklahoma was slow out of the gate last week. With trips to Baylor and OSU left, OU can’t afford slow starts. |
7 |
| 8 |  |
Arkansas |
Arkansas found a way to get past the South Carolina defense and should keep moving up over the next two weeks. |
8 |
| 9 |  |
Clemson |
Clemson had a week off following their lone loss of the season and need to realize they can still make a BCS bowl. |
10 |
| 10 |  |
Penn State |
Now we get to find out if Penn State is for real. They finish the season with Nebraska, Ohio State and Wisconsin. |
13 |
| 11 |  |
Houston | Houston keeps dominating the opposition and that should continue against Tulane, even in a short week. |
15 |
| 12 |  |
Michigan State |
Michigan State squeaked out a victory over Minnesota and a much tougher test await in Iowa City this week. |
16 |
| 13 |  |
Wisconsin |
Wisconsin put up 62 points against Purdue. Those points should keep on rolling against Minnesota this week. |
18 |
| 14 |  |
South Carolina |
South Carolina could not get the big win against Arkansas, but they need to pull together quickly to face Florida. |
11 |
| 15 |  |
Kansas State | Kansas State showed more gusto in their close loss to OSU than many thought. Texas A&M might be in for a battle. |
14 |
| 16 |  |
Nebraska | Nebraska is suddenly beatable after falling to Northwestern. A trip to Happy Valley may not end in happiness. |
9 |
| 17 |  |
Virginia Tech |
Virginia Tech had a week off to prepare for their huge Thursday night game against Georgia Tech’s tough offense. |
19 |
| 18 |  |
Auburn |
Like many top 25 teams, Auburn has to hit the road this week. A hot Georgia team will provide a tough test. |
20 |
| 19 |  |
Michigan | Michigan could not survive a trip to Iowa and going to Illinois could prove to be just as difficult. |
12 |
| 20 |  |
Cincinnati |
Cincinnati got a big win over Pittsburgh and now they face West Virginia in the Big East’s version of a good game. |
NR |
| 21 |  |
Georgia Tech |
Like VT, Georgia Tech has a long week off before the big game with ACC Coastal Division title implications on 11/10. |
22 |
| 22 |  |
Texas |
Texas keeps rolling along and looking pretty good. A win at Missouri would get the Longhorns some more respect. |
23 |
| 23 |  |
Georgia | Georgia had a nice tuneup against New Mexico State and will finish off SEC play against Auburn and Kentucky. |
24 |
| 24 |  |
USC |
Matt Barkley threw for a school record six touchdown passes against Colorado. UW should be a tougher test. |
NR |
| 25 |  |
Arizona State |
After being upset by UCLA, Arizona State is back in a battle for the Pac-12 South title. Washington State is up next. |
