Jeremy’s Top 25
1-Florida State (1)
2- Alabama (2)
3- Ohio State (4)
4- Missouri (6)
5- Auburn (7)

As the regular season comes to a close, madness tends to ensue in the rankings.  In my rankings Florida State and Alabama are firmly entrenched at No’s 1 and 2, respectively.  Unless they lose, I don’t see that changing.  Ohio State assumes the No. 3 spot with Baylor’s loss.  Missouri and Auburn move up into the top 5 at No. 4 and No. 5.

6- Oklahoma State (10)
7- Clemson (8)
8- Michigan State (9)
9- Baylor (3)
10- South Carolina (11)
Oklahoma State is coming off a very impressive win over Baylor and check in at No. 6 and given the way they’re playing, might be the best one loss in the country.  Clemson continues to hover around at No. 7 but could move up with a win over South Carolina this week.  Michigan State jumps a spot to No. 8 from No. 9 last week.  They might be able to shake up the BCS picture more than anyone with a win over Ohio State in the B1G Championship.  I’ve got South Carolina at No. 10 but they’ve got a major test against Clemson on Saturday.

11- Stanford (12)
12- Arizona State (15)
13- Wisconsin (16)
14- Oregon (5)
15- LSU (21)

LSU gets the biggest jump of the week after a very convincing win over Johnny Manziel and the Texas A&M Aggies.  The young Tiger defense had been up and down all season but turned in their best performance of the season on Saturday.  At No. 11, Stanford dropped one slot but more because of who’s moving around them.  ASU got a big win over South rival UCLA and moves up to No. 12.  Wisconsin checks in at No. 13 and Oregon drops all the way from No. 5 to No. 14 after a turning belly up on the road at Arizona.

16- Texas A&M (13)
17- UCF (17)
18- UCLA (14)
19- NIU (18)
20- Fresno State (20)

After a bad loss on the road at LSU, Texas A&M drops to No. 16.  The Aggies have another tough game this weekend against Missouri.  UCF, NIU and Fresno all stand pat for the most part.  UCLA, like A&M, drops out of the top 15 after their loss at home to Arizona State.

21- Louisville (19) 
22- USC (25)
23- Oklahoma (22)
24- Duke (24)
25- East Carolina (NR)

Louisville drops a few spots but mostly to make room for teams I feel are playing better football.  USC moves up to No. 22 this week and has a big rivalry game with UCLA coming up.  Whatever the future holds for the Trojans, you have to tip your hat to a great finish.  Oklahoma got a win but drop, like Louisville to make room for teams ahead of them.  Duke remains at No. 24 but they continue to roll and with a win over UNC, the Blue Devils will be making a trip to Charlotte to play FSU in the ACC Championship.  ECU checks into my ranking for the first time this season.  The Pirates have some solid wins over BCS opponents this year.
