College Football Power Rankings Week 2

Few things of note from week 2:

*The ACC is one of the worst conferences in the country. There is no reason that Miami, Florida State, and Virginia Tech should be this bad. No reason at all.

*Virginia Tech is not an elite football program. They are a very good football program. There is a clear difference between the USC’s, the Florida’s, the Texas’s and the Virginia Tech’s, the Louisville’s, and the California’s. In order to be treated like a top program, you have to beat a top program. Virginia Tech had their chance and they blew it against LSU. Even a close loss would have been respectable. A 48-7 loss is an embarrassment to the program and the conference.

*LSU is the best team in the nation. Hands down.

*The Pac-10 is better than the ACC

*Lloyd Carr will be fired and Michigan will lose 2-4 more games this season, giving them a total between 4-6 losses.

Listed below are this week’s power rankings. Enjoy.

1

LSU

One of the most dominant defeats of a top team, Virginia Tech, in recent memory. No reason for them to not be ranked first. Defense is the best in the nation.

2

USC

Big game against #16 Nebraska next week. Will need an LSU loss at some point, otherwise will be ranked second most of the season.

3

WVU

At Maryland next week. Be careful.

4

Oklahoma

This team looks scary. Trashed Miami in week 2 by 38

5

Florida

We’ll know a lot more about them after SEC showdown with Tennessee next week

6

Wisconsin

Not looking impressive, neither is the Big Ten

7

Texas

Solid win over TCU

8

Louisville

Gave up way too many points against Middle Tenn State

9

California

Pac 10 is starting to get some bragging rights as a conference

10

Ohio State

Defense had a shutout; Offense gave Akron 2 points on a safety

11

Penn State

Easy game against Buffalo after solid victory over Notre Dame

12

UCLA

Another up and coming Pac-10 team folks. That’s 3 in the top 15.

13

Rutgers

Ray Rice is looking like a solid Heisman candidate

14

Nebraska

Escaped Wake Forest by 3… Reward is USC next week

15

Georgia Tech

Without a doubt, looking like the best team in the Atrocious Cocky Conference… I mean Atlantic Coast Conference.

16

Arkansas

At Bama next week; should be a fun southern ball game

17

Virginia Tech

The downside: National Title hopes are ruined

The upside: Sean Glennon era is over and Tyrod Taylor era begins

18

Texas A&M

Only moving up because of the plethora of losses ahead. I’m not impressed.

19

Clemson

Offense is looking sharp thus far

20

Boston College

ACC matchup at Georgia Tech next. Out of the top 25 after a blowout loss is what I forsee

21

Oregon

Put the nail in the coffin of Michigan’s season

22

South Carolina

South Carolina will win the SEC within the next 5 years.

23

Hawaii

Brennan throws for 548 yards and they only beat La Tech by a point?

24

Tennessee

Can hop into the top 15 with a win at Florida next week

25

Georgia

Should not have let South Carolina come into their house and beat them.
