For the first time in weeks my top six remains unchanged. Ohio State was very impressive at Penn State and Boston College finally proved they are worthy of a top-level ranking with a gutty, come-from-behind win at VA Tech. With that said, a Ohio State-BC National Title Game doesn't really excite me... but up until now, they deserve it.
I still am VERY impressed with Oregon. For weeks I have ranked them higher than my colleagues and yesterday they did me proud a HUGE win over USC. I also have been higher on West Virginia than many others and they too came away with a big win over Rutgers on Saturday night. The Ducks and Mountaineers are my sleeper teams for the title game. Don't turn your back on them.
The big movers of the week are Arizona State, Missouri and Kansas. I had those three teams ranked well below where many of my colleagues had them. But I am on the bandwagon. The Sun Devils win over Cal was very impressive. So was the Jayhawks win in College Station over Texas A&M. I'm a believer now.
Here is my entire top 25 this week!
