Week 2 Recap:
This week settles down a bit with the top ten teams staying the same while some shuffling happened in the bottom fifteen spots. Losses by Oregon, TCU, and West Virginia allowed a general slide to happen to so that most everyone below them moved up a spot or two as they slipped to the bottom of the Top 25. West Virginia fell out of the rankings this week while Kansas returns after a recuperating win last week.
This week's Heisman Watch update has a small update, as Texas' Cody Johnson has appeared in the #5 spot after a good game against Arizona. His teammate, Colt McCoy, has the most impressive performance of the week for the group with over 500 yards passing and six total touchdowns as they destroyed Arizona last week.
That big performance also earned Colt McCoy National Offensive Player of the Week honors along with the SEC Offensive Player of the Week award by default and is the first SEC player to earn national honors. Earning the SEC Defensive Player of the Week award is a familiar face, as Georgia Tech's Derrick Wood has earned it for the second week in a row with seven tackles, two sacks, and a forced fumble in a big win over Vanderbilt.
A huge rematch of the National Championship game for the 2006 season between Florida and Ohio State, which will be Florida's first big test in their quest to stay the #1 team in the country. Other big ranked match-ups include Nebraska/Virginia Tech and Boise State/Utah that will affect the middle and bottom portions of the Top 25 for the rankings next week. Michigan State has the tough task of trying to take down USC this week in the other big SEC game this week. South Florida has a big rivalry game this week against UCF to determine who will get their first loss of the season.
