After a brief cold-medicine-induced hiatus last week, the rankings are back!
1. Notre Dame- Can’t avoid it any longer, they deserve to be #1, as the only major undefeated and bowl eligible team.
2. Alabama- Toughest schedule of the 1-loss teams.
3. Oregon- Stanford game could have gone either way.
4. Georgia- One of many SEC blowouts over a cupcake from a BCS conference.
5. Florida- A little close for comfort in Gainesville, but they beat Jacksonville State
6. Kansas State- Not just a loss, but a blowout.
7. LSU- They didn’t play a great game, but they got the W in the end.
8. Texas A&M- Record-breaking game for Johnny Football.
9. Stanford- Big win over Oregon.
10. Clemson- Allowed a lot of points, but scored more.
11. Florida State- Beat up on a Maryland team using a converted LB as a QB. Really.
12. South Carolina- Only put up 24 points on Wofford? Odd.

14. Oklahoma- Just barely eked out a win over West Virginia in an absolute shootout. The offence is great, but what about that D?
15. Oregon State- Beat up on Cal.
16. UCLA- I like the way Jim Mora has this team playing and they just clinched the Pac-12 South title.
17. Texas- Had a week off.
18. Rutgers- Beat what looked, at one point, like a good Cincinnati team.
19. Michigan- Ran (and threw) all over Iowa.
20. Louisville- Had a week to recuperate after suffering their first loss.

22. Boise State- Other teams’ losses let the 2-loss Broncos work their way back into the top 25.
23. Kent State- BCS buster of the week?
24. Arizona- Working their way back up the standings.
25. Washington- A blowout of Colorado lets the Huskies’ move back into the top 25.
