Week #2 College Football Rankings

It appears that the Associated Press Top 25, along with the USA Today Coaches Poll, have been released on Tuesday for this week.  Florida State retains the number #1 spot in both polls and while the coaches poll overwhelmingly picks the Seminoles as their number #1 overall team, the first-place votes in the AP Poll are somewhat scattered.  In the AP Poll, Florida State did receive 46 out of 59 first place votes.  The remaining 13 votes were scattered among the following teams:  #3 Oregon received five votes; #4 Oklahoma, #6 Georgia, and #9 Texas A&M each received two votes, and #2 Alabama, along with #12 Louisiana State, each earned 1 vote. 

Compared with the earlier preseason polls, how did the top ten teams in the AP and Coaches Poll fare this week?  Well, in the AP Poll, the top four teams are unchanged:  #1 Florida State, #2 Alabama, #3 Oregon, and #4 Oklahoma have not moved in the rankings.  Ohio State, which was number #5 last week, fell three spots to #8 despite their victory over Navy.  Auburn advanced one place this week to take the #5 spot.  Georgia advanced six places to land at #6 for week two, Michigan State took the #7 rank, Texas A&M rose 12 places to land at #9, and Baylor remains at #10. 

As for the USA Today Coaches Poll, there were no changes among the top five teams (#1 Florida State, #2 Alabama, #3 Oklahoma, #4 Oregon, and #5 Auburn.  Michigan State rose two places to land at #6, Ohio State fell one place to land at #7, Georgia takes the #8 spot after rising four places, and Baylor and Stanford earned the #9 and #10 spots.   I plan to post this week's schedule of games tomorrow evening.  Have a great evening, everybody!
