The best, solid solid teams
1. Stanford. Beat San Jose St. 57-3. Weak competetion, but looked good doing something they were supposed to do.
2. Oregon. Lost to LSU 27-40 Some key turnovers helped LSU blow it open. Ducks look to be a solid team once again with great speed and athletes.


They took care of business, but still hard to tell where they are
3. Utah. Beat Montana St 27-10. Not a huge blowout, but took care of biz. Big test next week at USC.
4. Arizona St. Beat UC Davis 48-14. Not much of a test.
5. USC. Beat Minnesota 19-17. SC couldn't do anything in 2nd half. Very sloppy play by the trojans. Big game comign up vs. Utah.
6. Cal. Beat Fresno state 36-21. Solid play from new QB. See if they can win on the road next week, something that they aren't good at.
7. Washington St. Beat Idaho St. 64-21. Seems really high, but the cougs haven't scored more than 56 points in over 5 years.
8. Arizona. Beat N Arizona 41-10. Easy first game, now the brutal part of the schedule.

They looked bad and I do not expect these teams to go bowling this year
9. Washington. Beat Eastern Washington 30-27. Had to rally to win, they will miss Locker.
10. UCLA. Lost to Houston 34-38. Not a good start for a coach being under fire.
11. Colorado. Lost to Hawai'i 17-34. Defense showed flashes, but same road results for new look buffs.
12. Oregon state. Lost to Sacramento state 28-29. This is like CU losing to Montana state.

I wouldn't put WSU that high. Idaho State was one of the worst FCS team last year with a 1-10 record. I'd have them at #8 but in the looked bad just because of who they played and they lost Tuel for a good part, if not the whole season.
 
CU should be dead last. That's the only thing I'd change on your list.

I'm with unleash here. Buffs were only second worse. Losing to Sacramento State is worse than losing to Hawaii. Hell, its even worse than losing to Montana St.
 
Interesting rankings...

In order, mine would be
1. Stanford
2. Oregon
3-12 everyone else

I don't think we can take much of anything from week 1. WSU still looks to be the doormat of the north division. Not to mention they lost QB#1 Tuel to a broken clavicle (out at least a month or so). Idaho St. is worse than Sacramento St., can't take anything from the score and the 'Coogs paid a high price for the W. UCLA is coming off their worst 3 year record in the history of the program with Rick at the helm. The L for UCLA yesterday did nothing to sway my opinion that they consistently do less with more than any other team in the country. Hard to put them above 12, again it's still too early to know.

I'll be happy to re-rank my 3-12 in another 2-3 weeks...:thumbsup:

I will be doing a ranking each week.
 
You might want to put WSU down the list. The kitties still gave up 430 yards passing and the Idaho State starter was a JUCO transfer making his first start. Plus WSU only converted 3-11 third downs. And Idaho State is pretty much the weakest Big Sky team unless that is UNC.
