College football rankings are in for the AP Top 25 after another No. 1 got upset for the second straight week. Last week it was Alabama falling to the South Carolina Gamecocks and this weekend it was Ohio State dropping a game against Big Ten rival Wisconsin Badgers.

Last week’s No. 2 team, the Oregon Ducks, learned the meaning of “backing in” as they sat idle and moved up into the spot vacated by the Buckeye’s’ loss.

The Boise State Broncos sit at No. 2 with 15 first-place votes, up from No. 3 last week.

Dropped from last week’s AP Top 25 rankings are Florida (yes the Gators are finally sitting outside looking in), Nevada, Air Force and Oregon State.

 Below is the list of all Top 25 teams:

College football rankings are in for the AP Top 25 and this is why so many people think these polls are about as good as a used piece of toilet paper.

On Saturday, the No. 19 South Carolina Gamecocks beat the dog shit outta the No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide. After the ‘Cocks victory where would you vote them to be in the newest rankings?

Well, the votes are in and Alabama (5-1) dropped to No. 8, two ahead of the team that beat them last week; our beloved ‘Cocks (4-1) sit at No. 10. BTW the USA Today has ‘Bama sitting at No. 8 and South Carolina all the way down at No. 12.

‘Nuf said on that ‘cause we could write a whole book on this topic and if I do it, you may need to hide the women and children when it gets released. We learn something about NCAAF every week.

Back to the results, the No. 1 spot now belongs to “The” Ohio State Buckeyes who stayed unbeaten at 6-0 and accumulated 34 first-place votes while West Virginia snuck into the No. 25 spot.

Oh, almost forgot to mention, Boise State sits at No. 3 and got 8 first place votes for having a blue field and the Florida Gators and Oregon State somehow remained in with two losses each.

Below is the list of all Top 25 teams:

Associated Press Top 25

1.      Ohio State (34) 6-0

2.      Oregon (15) (6-0)

College football rankings are in for the AP Top 25 for the week of Oct. 4th.

Most notably, the Texas Longhorns are out and Air Force slipped into the No. 25 spot. That’s not a misprint. Things are certainly changing on the NCAAF front with the Georgia Bulldogs and Longhorns well out of the Top 25 picture and teams like Nevada, and we’ll say it again only because it’s Air Force. . . . Air Force in the mix.

No. 1 Alabama stayed in their normal nesting place in the top spot after bitch-slapping Florida and dropping them down 7 places from last week to No. 14.

Denard Robinson’s No. 18 Michigan Wolverines and No. 17 Michigan State keep creeping up the ladder on a weekly basis but with the two facing off this weekend in a bitter rivalry game, one should drop by the time this weekend is over.

BTW, Boise State gets an honorable mention just because they have that blue field. Boise’s Broncos dropped down a notch to the No. 4 spot while picking up a lone number one vote.

The Big Ten and SEC were represented by six teams the past two weeks but with Joe-Pa’s Penn State falling out of the Top 25, the SEC rules this week with having six teams in place. Alabama, Florida, Arkansas, LSU, Auburn, and South Carolina are still on the list.

Below is the list of all Top 25 teams:

Associated Press Top 25

1.      Alabama (58) 5-0

2.      Ohio State (1) 5-0

3.      Oregon (5-0)

4.      Boise State (1) (4-0)

5.      TCU (5-0)

6.      Oklahoma (5-0)

7.      Nebraska (4-0)

AP Top 25 college football rankings are in for week 4.

After a solid 3-0 start, last week’s No. 10 Arkansas battled No. 1 Alabama at home until the final minutes but a Ryan Mallett interception killed their chances for an upset and dropped the Razorbacks down five notches to No. 15.

As anticipated, No. 1 Alabama (4-0) retained the top spot after that tough road win. The Top 25 also has a surprise newcomer, No. 25 Nevada, who joins the elite group for the first time in several decades.

 The top three spots have remained the same with No. 2 Ohio State (4-0) and No. 3 Boise State Broncos (3-0) staying in their spots after winning over the weekend.

The Big Ten is represented by six teams, Ohio State, Iowa, Wisconsin, Penn State, Denard Robinson’s Michigan and Michigan State. (Nebraska who is joining the Big Ten next season is ranked No. 6).

The SEC also has a strong representation in the AP Top 25 with Alabama, Florida, Arkansas, LSU, Auburn, and South Carolina making it to the list.

No. 21 Texas Longhorns who suffered an embarrassing loss to the unranked UCLA Bruins spiraled down 14 slots from the No. 7 spot.

Below is the list of all Top 25 teams:

College football rankings are in for the week. With a bunch more games in the books, the AP top ten hasn’t changed drastically over the past few weeks since week one.

With a solid 3-0 start, Arkansas did manage to make it into the Top Ten, taking over the No. 10 spot with Iowa (2-1) dropping down to the No. 18 spot.

It appears several voters are falling out of love with Boise State. After receiving 8 first-place votes two weeks ago, the Broncos managed just a single vote for the No. 1 spot while maintaining their No. 3 ranking behind No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 “The” Ohio State.

The Big Ten and SEC were each represented with six teams in the Top 25 with Alabama, Florida and Arkansas actually occupying top ten spots.

Here’s a brief rundown on the top few in the poll, followed by the list of all Top 25 teams.

No. 1 Alabama – 53 first-place votes and 1,492 points.

No. 2 Ohio State – 5 first-place votes and 1,435 points.

No. 3 Boise State – 1 first-place vote and 1,334 points

As mentioned earlier, the SEC had strong representation in the AP Top 25 with Alabama, Florida, Arkansas, LSU, Auburn, and South Carolina making it to the list.

The Big Ten is represented by Ohio State, Iowa, Wisconsin, Penn State, Michigan and Michigan State. (Nebraska who is joining the Big Ten next season is ranked No. 6)

Associated Press Top 25

1. Alabama (53) 3-0
2. Ohio State (5) 3-0
3. Boise State (1) 3-0
4. TCU 3-0

College football rankings are in for the week. With all eyes on Boise State, the Broncos came galloping out the gate with a vengeance trying to make a statement against Virginia Tech last night but after taking a commanding lead early in the game, they needed a last-minute score to take home a 33-30 win.

With the effort, the Broncos picked up 7 first-place votes in this week’s AP Poll but still remain in the No. 3 spot behind No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 “The” Ohio State.

Here’s a brief rundown on the top three in the poll. No. 1 Alabama – 47 first-place votes and 1,484 points; No. 2 Ohio State – 4 first-place votes and 1,412 points; No. 3 Boise State – 8 first-place votes and 1,399 points

Florida stunk up The Swamp in their 34-12 unimpressive win on Saturday and as expected, dropped down several slots into the No. 8 spot. TCU then moved up two to take over that No. 4 slot the Gators held last week. After an average outing, the Texas Longhorns remained No. 5 and actually received one first-place vote that you would have to think was granted by a local homer in the Lone Star State.

The SEC had strong representation with Alabama, Florida, Arkansas, LSU, Auburn, Georgia and South Carolina making it to the list.
