Every Sunday during this college football season, I will be posting my own Top 25 rankings and we’ll see where they stack up against the other national outlets. My rankings will be based on what I see on the field combined with the competition teams have played.
As always, I encourage your comments on these rankings and what you think I got right and what I messed up.
VUK’S TOP 25 COLLEGE FOOTBALL RAKINGS (WEEK TWO):
1) Alabama- It wasn’t a dominant performance, but I won’t penalize a team for going on the road (Texas) and finding a way to win.
2) Georgia- If I were to unseat Bama, it would be with the defending champs but I’m not at that point yet.
3) Ohio State- This team won’t be challenged until Week 6 at Michigan State and I’m not sure that will be a challenge. So much talent on both sides of the ball.
4) Clemson- Clemson’s season will be decided by their quarterback. One more cupcake until they take on Wake Forest and NC State.
5) Michigan- Jim Harbaugh names J.J. McCarthy the Wolverines starting QB following their 56-10 win over Hawaii.
6) Oklahoma State
7) Oklahoma
8) USC
9) Utah
10) Miami, Fla.
