2016 College Football Rankings #3

October 24, 2016

1) ALABAMA 8-0 Still look like the best, head and shoulders above the rest.
2) MICHIGAN 7-0 Cruising toward showdown game with now imperfect Buckeyes.
3) WASHINGTON 7-0 The young Huskies look like the best of the Left Coast teams.
4) CLEMSON 7-0 Better be ready to be better on Offense or FSU could bite them.
5) LOUISVILLE 6-1 Can’t get sloppy waiting for Clemson to lose.
6) BAYLOR 6-0 The gantlet part of their schedule is looming after soft first half.
7) WEST VIRGINIA 6-0 Has looked like a solid, well rounded team… so far.
8) NEBRASKA 7-0 If they carry undefeated record out of Mad Town BIG 10 West is theirs.
9) BOISE STATE 7-0 The little school that could must stay on task.
10) OHIO STATE 6-1 THey need to find their Offense and win out, especially against Michigan.
11) TEXAS A&M 6-1 They must bounce back strong, because there’s no shame in losing to ‘BAMA.
12) UTAH 7-1 They look better than ever with JOE WILLIAMS/RB back but vs. Washington?!
13) FLORIDA STATE 5-2 Tough task… beat CLemson, or write off 2016 as a disappointment.
14) WISCONSIN 5-2 Have survived tough schedule, but that O must give them more vs. Nebraska.
15) W. MICHIGAN 8-0 A well balanced MAC team can still climb. Showdown with Toledo still looming.

That’s my Top 15 for now, with some very large showdowns looming this weekend: WASHINGTON @ UTAH, NEBRASKA @ WISCONSIN & CLEMSON @ FLORIDA STATE. Look at those games carefully. All the higher rated teams must win on the road.
I also bid adieu to HOUSTON & OLE MISS who both lost last weekend and no longer figure in the Top 10 hunt for this season. Better luck next year fellas.
One more big win this weekend for the following and their stick could jump up: FLORIDA 5-1.
