Week 1 Rankings

After the first weekend of college football, there have already been a few shifts in the AT25. Upsets by BYU, Alabama and Oklahoma State allowed those teams to move up, causing some significant shifting in the rankings (last week’s rankings in parentheses):

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

Fell out: Ball State (23)

While Florida and Texas remained at the top, Alabama vaulted to #3 after beating Virginia Tech who surprisingly only fell one spot to #4. Cincinnati’s impressive Big East showing raised them to #5 and BYU’s upset of Oklahoma catapulted them to #6. Georgia’s defeat to Oklahoma State caused them to fall down three spots to #7 while Utah, USC, and Boston College each slid one spot from the week before.

Only two games in Week Two feature two teams from the AT25: USC at Ohio State and East Carolina at West Virginia. Barring any major upsets elsewhere, a win by either OSU or ECU would be about all that should shake up the AT25 next week. Other games that could impact the rankings would be Clemson visiting Georgia Tech and Wisconsin hosting Fresno State.
