AT25 Week 2 Rankings (a little late)

My apologies for posting the Week 2 rankings while the third week of football is playing before me (Georgia Tech vs. Miami). I had a business trip this week and only now have the opportunity to post.

There was absolutely no change in the Top 10 from Week 1. Yes, even though Virginia Tech has one loss, they’re still ranked number 4. That’s by design in that they’re still predicted to finish 11-1 this year…certainly good enough to contend for the Top 5.

The second 10 shifted somewhat. Michigan State slipped to 22nd from 11th after their loss to Central Michigan. Connecticut, which probably was very over-rated in the AT25 in the first place, fell out of the top 25 altogether after their loss to UNC. Houston skyrocketed from way down in the overall rankings after their upset of Oklahoma State, who subsequently fell out of the rankings as well. All others pretty much shifted up or down, depending on the action of others.

1. Florida (1)
2. Texas (2)
3. Alabama (3)
4. Virginia Tech (4)
5. Cincinnati (5)
6. BYU (6)
7. Georgia (7)
8. Utah (8)
9. USC (9)
10. Boston College (10)
11. West Virginia (12)
12. Oklahoma (13)
13. Ohio State (14)
14. Boise State (15)
15. Texas Tech (16)
16. Missouri (17)
17. LSU (18)
18. Penn State (20)
19. Georgia Tech (21)
20. Wisconsin (22)
21. Houston (NR)
22. Michigan State (11)
23. East Carolina (24)
24. Wake Forest (25)
25. TCU (NR)

Fell Out: Connecticut (19)
Oklahoma State (23)

There are plenty of high profile and rankings-affecting games, such as Florida – Tennessee, Boise St. – Fresno St., Texas – Texas Tech and others. Enjoy!
