10. Utah 5-0 (NR)

Out: Alabama (1st); Michigan (8th); Northwestern (10th).

Explanation: This list is getting interesting. There are still only undefeated teams in my top 10, but this week I have a 5-0 squad ranked ahead of a 6-0 squad. Alabama fell from 1st all the way out of my rankings after suffering their first loss of the season. Michigan (#8) and Northwestern (#10) also fell out of my rankings after losing for the first time on the year.

LSU had been #2 but they moved up to the #1 spot after beating Florida on the road. LSU is the only team in the country that has beaten 6 teams from BCS conferences. Auburn moved up 2 spots from 4th to 2nd this week. The Tigers have defeated 6 FBS teams and they are 4-0 against teams from BCS conferences.

Ohio State made a big leap forward in these rankings this week, jumping 6 spots from 9th to 3rd. They are now 6-0 vs. FBS teams and 3-0 against teams from BCS conferences. Oregon moved up 1 spot this week from 5th to 4th. The Ducks are 5-0 vs. FBS teams and 4-0 against teams from BCS conferences. Michigan State moved up 2 spots this week, climbing from 7th to 5th. The Spartans are 5-0 against FBS teams and 3-0 vs. teams from BCS conferences.

TCU stayed put at #6, just outside the top 5. The Horned Frogs are 5-0 against the FBS but just 2-0 vs. teams from BCS conferences. Oklahoma was idle last week but the Sooners fell 4 spots in these rankings from 3rd to 7th. Oklahoma is 5-0 vs. FBS teams and 3-0 against teams from BCS conferences. Nevada moved into the rankings this week at #8, but I kept the Wolf Pack behind the Sooners despite the fact that they have 1 more win overall than Oklahoma. Nevada is 5-0 vs. FBS teams but just 1-0 against teams from BCS conferences.

Boise State climbed into the rankings at #9 this week. The Broncos are 5-0 vs. FBS teams but just 2-0 against teams from BCS conferences. Utah got into the rankings at #10 this week. The Utes are 5-0 vs. teams from the FBS but just 2-0 against BCS teams.
