NCAA Football Top 25 in Week Four | Badgers Miss the Cut

 1. TCU- Need to start playing some defense soon or they are going to lose some games in conference play.

 2. Michigan State- "Sparty" has the signature win of 2015 so far, at home over Oregon.

 3. Georgia- In my opinion, this has been the most impressive team so far.

 4. Mississippi- They took advantage of five turnovers last Saturday en route to a 43-37 win in Alabama. The Crimson Tide still have no quarterback.

 5. Clemson- Hanging in there, but not looking too impressive out of the gate.

 6. LSU- Awesome start to the season for Leonard Fournette.

 7. Florida State- This defense has looked good so far. But can the offense score enough points?

 8. Utah- Look out for this Utah team, seriously. Their special teams are insane.

 9. Arizona- So far, so good for the Wildcats in 2015.

10. Oklahoma- Baker Mayfield is off to a terrific start at his new school.

11. Ohio State- Yes, this is a big drop for them, but honestly, this team has looked just plain AWFUL. As soon as they play a quarterback with a pulse they are going to lose. Michigan State is going to absolutely destroy these Buckeyes in November at the rate Ohio State is playing at right now.

12. Alabama- The Crimson Tide still doesn’t have a quarterback and could be in for a few more losses this season unless one steps up quick.

13. UCLA- I have been impressed with the play of freshman quarterback Josh Rosen so far.

14. California- Jared Goff is a beast and is turning himself into a number one overall draft choice.

15. Oklahoma State- I still remember that famous day Mike Gundy blew up at that reporter. Since that day, this program has taken off.

16. Baylor- The Bears have looked below average, well below average so far, which is why I drop them.

17. Northwestern- This Wildcat team has put together a pair of solid wins so far- against Stanford and against Duke this last weekend.

18. Texas A&M- Well so far, the two quarterback system is working in College Station. Not sure how long because this usually never works for a full season.

19. Missouri- This team has looked really bad so far, which is why they've been passed up by so many in this poll.

20. Oregon- I knew this team wasn't that good to begin the season.

21. Iowa- This season has been classic Hawkeye football. That is a good sign going forward.

22. Notre Dame- The Irish are walking a fine line between being good, and being lucky so far in 2015.

23. Texas Tech- The Red Raiders are scoring a lot of points, as usual, and as usual, playing very little defense also.

24. Kansas State- Wonder how long Bill Synder can keep going in his return to coaching.

25. Temple- The Owls are off to a very nice 3-0 start.

Badgers Drop Out Of My NCAA Top 25

It’s time once again for my take on the top 25 NCAA football teams. Is your favorite team still ranking? I hope so. Our Wisconsin Badgers dropped out of my ranking here.  Until they find a way to win, or find a capable quarterback, we may have seen the last of Bucky on this list. 

  1. Florida State- This is a weak year if this is the best team in the country.

  2. Auburn- Big one this weekend against Mississippi State

  3. Mississippi- Beat Alabama and did the world a huge favor in the process

  4. Mississippi State- Will shock the world when they run Auburn out of the building this weekend and wake up Monday morning as the number one ranked team in America

  5. Baylor- Big one coming this weekend against TCU. Winner of that game will win the Big 12.

  6. TCU- With the playoff, they could finally get their shot at the national championship

  7. Arizona- The Wildcats have been the luckiest team in America to this point. But will their luck run out this weekend against USC?

  8. Oregon- They have a big one coming against UCLA after the slip up last weekend.

  9. Michigan State- I am still waiting for the mistake from this team that is surely coming as it has every year except last year. Purdue could be it this weekend.

10. Alabama- The Crimson Tide are going to lose two in a row this weekend when they travel to take on Arkansas and we will finally be able to write Alabama out of the national championship picture.

11. Georgia Tech- So far, the Yellow Jackets have been the biggest surprise in the nation. They get a test in Duke this weekend.

12. Notre Dame- The Irish are going to run circles around a really bad Tar Heel defense on Saturday

13. Marshall- The Thundering Herd anybody?

14. Oklahoma- They got dragged up and down the field by TCU last weekend. Now they get a thin Texas team in the Red River Shootout this weekend that has lost its luster.

15. Washington- The may score 70 points this weekend against California.

16. UCLA- Brett Hundley’s stock is falling.

17. Georgia- This is the best running game in the country.

18. Kansas State- After an early season surge they are fading.

19. Nebraska- Not sure what to think of the Cornhuskers right now

20. Duke- They can get back to their winning ways this weekend against Georgia Tech

21. Ohio State- After an early season debacle, this offense is getting better.

22. Minnesota- Can they run their way to a Big Ten Championship game appearance?

23. Oklahoma State- They have been very quiet so far but can make some noise with a late surge.

24. Texas A&M- There may not be a more overrated player in the nation right now then Kenny Hill.

25. Rutgers- Another quiet team that could make some late noise.
