6.) Clemson
7.) Louisville
8.) South Carolina
9.) Florida State
10.) Texas A&M
11.) Oklahoma State
12.) Florida
13.) LSU

22.) TCU
23.) UCLA
24.) Kansas State
25.) TTUN
– There are no new teams in the rankings for this week and no one fell out of the rankings either obviously.
– TTUN fell from 19th to 25th they had another starter go down with a season ending injury. Sophomore WR Amara Darboh went down with a foot injury that required surgery. This was already a area of concern for TTUN and Amara brought height to the position they don’t have anywhere else right now. They also announce they still dont know who 2 of their starting OLmen are going to be which is another concern. Things are trending down right now for the Wolverines.
– MSU mad a move up to 21 based on a true Freshman QB who is making waves in Damion Terry who brings to the table a dual threat that MSU didnt have before. Andrew Maxwell may still start but Damion will see plenty of playing time as he is an athlete that they need to get the ball in the hands of as often as possible to spread out the defense.
– Wisconsin also made a small move up to #19 this week. They named a QB and the Offensive line is huge as usual. The running game will be what it always is for Wisky… Great!!!
The returning B1G Offensive Player of the Year promises frightening new potential in Urban Meyer’s second year. A very early Heisman favorite, Braxton Miller will have several advantages this year that he did not have last year, including experience, continuing improved passing and a second year in Urban’s system. However, the strongest new development is the emergence of the receiving corps which for the two years prior was the Achilles heal of the offense. After the 2011 tat-gate suspensions deprived the offense of its only experienced receiver DeVier Posey, the offense has had to struggle with young receivers not yet strong enough to separate themselves with frequency.
