This was definately a "Survival Saturday" for many of the top teams in the country, and of the top 10, I was only impressed with Alabama taking care of business against a ranked opponent.
Auburn and Oregon remain in the top spots. After getting to finally see Auburn, I can tell you thats a 6 win team without Cam Newton.
TCU got behind early and took their foot off late. I dont discredit them for the win over San Diego State considering the Aztecs 3 losses this season are by 3, 3, and 5 points to the #3 and #17 teams in the country and BYU. They are building one hell of a team down there.
Wisconsin does not get style points for running it up on Indiana. Ive seen Boise 3 times now, and I agree they are a fine football team, but they do not impress me that much.
Nebraska and Michigan State stay around the same area. Oklahoma State does not get a big bump for being held to a season low point total by a marginal Texas Defense.
13-17 are about as they should be. #18 Texas A&M is a team that will probably not lose again this season. Tannehill has made them 10 times better than they are.
Congrats to #19 South Carolina for finally winning a championship of some sort. I still need to see them win out before they face Auburn again, but theyve got the tools and the talent to beat anyone.
20-22 are around the area I feel they should be. Though I think it will be a one and done, Northwestern makes an appearance at #23. For those who didnt follow their star QB tore his Achillies trying to celebrate his game winning TD, and now the Wildcats will turn to an unproven freshman the rest of the way.
I took a HARD look at 24 and 25. The Utes are still a hell of a football team at 8-2, but you could tell they came out like a football team feeling it had nothing to play for after TCU crushed their dreams.
Iowa still has a good football team, but they are barely hanging in the rankings. I will be very interested to see how this team responds facing Ohio State.
