Remember this is a Quality Victory Power Rankings
1. Ohio State Buckeyes - Their win at Texas still slightly puts them in the lead over Michigan, in addition to their two Gerber games. The difference between LSU, ND, and Texas is very marginal, but they knocked off the defending champions so numero uno.
2. Michigan Wolverines - Hail to the Victors, baby. Michigan walked into South Bend smacked Touchdown Jesus in the face and then punched Brady Quinn and Charlie Weis in the face. Not only did their offense look unstoppable against the Notre Dame defense which after two weeks was "much improved", but they just pounded Brady Quinn with hit after hit, he had to be half purple with bruises after the game.
3. Auburn Tigers - Well that was the typical SEC borefest where the defenses are massively more talented and athletic than the offense but Auburn got done what they needed to, they scored one touchdown. I agreed with the no call on the pass interference near the goal line so I'm not going to say the refs cost the Bayou Bengals the game. Auburn went out and held on. Also, start calling Kenny Irons Bentley cause he's better than a Cadillac, per request from my buddy Joe.
4. Florida Gators - Oh the one point victory in Rocky Top, makes me happy. These are things that we can establish after this game as well as the Auburn LSU game, the SEC is going to be a battle of a lot of really good teams and if any team gets out unscathed they should be in the National Championship game, no questions asked. No more screw Jobs like Auburn went through 2 years ago.
5. Southern Cal Trojans - I'm liking my National Title pick more each week, John David Booty was in control of this whole game against the Cornhuskers and after two games the Trojans have two impressive victories against two Big Conference opponents. This team is going to romp through their games until the face Notre Dame, and then they'll probably do the exact same thing that Michigan did to ND, throw the ball and take advantage of their corners who can't cover anybody.
6. Louisville Cardinals - I'm unsure if I want to congratulate the Cardinals and the beatdown they gave the U, if they can still think they can call themselves by a single letter, or proclaim that Larry Coker should be fired right now and that Miami is really a piece of garbage right now. Anyway a 31-7 victory over Miami was nice but similarly to TCU, this is their only remotely strong game for awhile so they may slide of other teams can fill their resumes.
7. Clemson Tigers - Their my highest one loss team because A) Their one loss was in overtime in a tough place to play in Chestnut Hill and the reason they lost was a missed extra point and B) They went into Tallahassee and dominated the Seminoles from start to finish, and even the points that Bobby Bowden was lucky to see up on the board were a result of Clemson's kicker. So if Clemson just got one of the legions of Gramatica brothers they'd be good.
8. Boston College Eagles - Yes they beat Clemson, but they are lower then them cause, they beat them by one point and they don't have a win against FSU under their belt, and they stunk this weekend against BYU at home.
9. Tennessee Volunteers - The #2 one loss team on this list, the Volunteers still have the beatdown of California under their belt to prove that the SEC is immensely more talented then every other conference in the country and they have a 1 point squeeker loss to a very good Gators squad. The Volunteers are for real this season, but will propbably be subject to one or two more losses due to their very difficult schedule. They played well but couldnt get it done.
10. Texas Christian Horned Frogs - Now that they've got their one and only needed impressive victory out of the way they will most likely run the table and find themselves in a BCS game. They did something saturday that hasn't happened to Texas Tech in 6 years, they held TT without a touchdown. Even those great Oklahoma and Texas defenses of the past couldn't do that. That's pretty good, too bad they have no more good games on their schedule so chances are they fall off this Quality Victories Power Rankings in a week or so.
11. Georiga Bulldogs - The win against Steve Spurrier still holds a low spot on the rankings for the Bulldogs
Dropped Out: ND, FSU, Oregon, Boise St., Pitt, Rutgers
Past Power Rankings: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Notes
Where's Oregon you may ask, last week I said they would vault towards the top of the rankings with a win over Oklahoma, well while the final stats say Victory for the Ducks, the W goes under the Referees belt. Not only did he blow the on-side kick call to give Oregon the ball and any chance of a come back, but they had another bogus instant replay where they couldn't conclusively say the ball was tipped even though the rotation of the ball completely changed mid flight. Dumb asses, no dice for you Oregon you don't deserve it.
Colorodo has transformed into on of the worst teams in the country losing their first three games by a combined 80 points. Ouch.
