We are entering the most exciting and unpredictable month in the college football season. This is where we find out who has got what it takes, and who doesn’t. The cream will rise to the top in the next month. In week 9, we had three more undefeated teams go down, leaving us with only six left with an unblemished record. At this point, there is still only one team that is standing out from all the rest, and that would be the Georgia Bulldogs. It’s only going to get better as each week unfolds. Let’s see the updated Top-25.
NO.1 GEORGIA 8-0: Another hurdle cleared for the Bulldogs. Is their defense the best ever? This Week: Missouri
NO.2 ALABAMA 7-1: Alabama comes back from a week off and continues their quest to win the West. This Week: LSU
NO.3 CINCINNATI 8-0: The Bearcats aren’t flashy, but the bottom line is, they keep winning. This Week: Tulsa
NO.4 OHIO STATE 7-1: They survived a gutty challenge from Penn State and moved up to No.4. This Week: at Nebraska
NO.5. OKLAHOMA 9-0: The season comes down to the last three games for this schizophrenic bunch. This Week: Idle
NO.6 MICHIGAN STATE 8-0: We still aren’t totally sold on the Spartans but you have to admire what they are doing. This Week: at Purdue
NO.7 MICHIGAN 7-1: We aren’t dropping them too much after their gut-wrenching loss. This Week: Indiana
NO.8 NOTRE DAME 7-1: Another fairly unimpressive win, but a win nevertheless. This Week: Navy
NO.9 OREGON 7-1: Probably the best team in the Pac-12 but does that mean anything? This Week: at Washington
NO.10 AUBURN 6-2: The Tigers jump up to the Top-10 for the first time this year. This Week: at Texas A&M
NO.11 OKLAHOMA STATE 7-1: They might be the best team in Oklahoma. This Week: at West Virginia
NO.12 TEXAS A&M 6-2: They jump up 3 spots and didn’t even play. This Week: Auburn
NO.13 MISSISSIPPI 6-2: Probably should drop farther in the poll but everyone else lost too. This Week: Liberty
NO.14 WAKE FOREST 8-0: Ok, they probably aren’t this good, but they are undefeated and a bunch of others aren’t This Week: at North Carolina
NO.15 BAYLOR 7-1: Quite frankly, they should be ranked higher than this. This Week: at TCU
NO.16 HOUSTON 7-1: They make their debut into the poll after their wild win over SMU. This Week: at South Florida
NO.17 BYU 7-2: The Cougars get back into the poll and this time they should remain in the Top-25. This Week: Idaho State
NO.18 SMU 7-1: The Mustangs suffered a crushing defeat and probably ruined their season. This Week: at Memphis
NO.19 KENTUCKY 6-2: Are the Wildcats starting a freefall out if the poll? This Week: Tennessee
NO.20 IOWA 6-2: Their offense is in the ICU and the Hawkeyes are fading fast. This Week: at Northwestern
NO.21 FRESNO STATE 7-2: The Bulldogs enter the Top-25 after taking down the undefeated Aztecs. This Week: Boise State
NO.22 SAN DIEGO STATE 7-1: Tough loss last week. Dangerous game on Saturday. This Week: at Hawaii
NO.23 UTSA 8-0: This is my favorite Top-25 team. The Roadrunners keep winning. This Week: at UTEP
NO.24 LOUISIANA 7-1: LSU is no longer the best team in Cajun country. Seven straight wins and counting. This Week: Georgia State
NO.25 MINNESOTA: The Gophers have played their way into position to win the Big-10 West. This Week: Illinois
Honorable Mention: NC State 6-2, Pittsburgh 6-2, Penn State 5-3, Coastal Carolina 7-1
Dropping Out of the Poll: Coastal Carolina, Iowa State, Virginia, Penn State, Pittsburgh
