[AuburnChopper 3.0]

Haha...well... We'll take the early respect I guess.

1. Florida 2-0
Last Week: W, Troy 56-6
Why this is too high: As easy as the first two wins have been, Tim Tebow hasn't been razor-sharp. He has been good, and the Gators are third in the nation in passing and third in passing efficiency, but there have been some misfires. Also, he was rocked by Troy; he tool some big-time shots.   
Up next: Tennessee

2. USC 2-0
Last Week: W, at Ohio State 18-15
Why this is too high: The offense wasn't exactly crisp against the Buckeyes. If you don't believe that Ohio State is that great, then you don't believe in the Trojans. 
Why this is too low: Other than one big pass play, the D stuffed the Buckeyes. Now the team knows it has a leader in Matt Barkley to count on.
Up next: At Washington

3. Texas 2-0
Last Week: W, at Wyoming 41-10
Why this is too high: Beating up ULM and Wyoming isn't anything to chirp about. The defense ahs been surprisingly soft, and it's not just because the WarHawks and Cowboys were in comeback mode.
Why this is too low: 100-30. Texas was pushed for a few seconds by Wyoming, but everything is clicking going into the Texas Tech game. The offense is rolling with several different rushing options to take the pressure off of Colt McCoy.
Up next: Texas Tech

4. Alabama 2-0
Last Week: W, FIU 40-14
Why this is too high: The line has been a killer for the ground game, but it has hardly been special in pass protection. That's nitpicking, though. The Tide is humming and is playing like a true national title contender.   
Why this is too low: Very quickly, Bama has the best backfield in the nation. There are too many productive, talented backs to keep happy. Trent Richardson was the star this week after Mark Ingram rumbled over Virginia Tech.
Up next: North Texas

5. California 2-0
Last Week: W, Eastern Washington 59-7
Why this is too high: The secondary has been beaten a bit too much. While Maryland and Eastern Washington were bombing away to try to keep up, Cal's pass defense wasn't exactly a brick wall. 
Why this is too low: Jahvid Best. In two games, the junior running back has rushed for 287 yards and three touchdowns, averaging more than ten yards per carry, and he has caught four passes for 42 yards and a score. He's the key part of an offense that's destroying everything in its path.
Up next: at Minnesota

6. Penn State 2-0
Last Week: W, Syracuse 28-7
Why this is too high: The offensive line isn't playing up to Penn State snuff. The Syracuse run defense isn't bad, thanks to tackle Arthur Jones, but the Nittany Lions should be be better at pounding the ball. At the moment, Penn State is last in the Big Ten and 94th in the nation in rushing. 
Why this is too low: The defense is back to form. The tune-ups against Akron and Syracuse sharpened up the slightly rebuilding D, while Daryll Clark and the passing game have been fantastic. There's yet another scrimmage, Temple, before dealing with Iowa.
Up next: Temple

7. Ohio State 1-1
Last Week: L, USC 18-15
Why this is too high: The offense still hasn't shown anything. Not producing against USC isn't anything to be upset about, but the Buckeyes couldn't move the ball on Navy. 
Why this is too low: Losing to USC is no reason to be punished. If USC is a top three team, Ohio State might be No. 4.
Up next: Toledo

8. Virginia Tech 1-1
Last Week: W, Marshall 52-10
Why this is too high: Oh yeah, the running game. The Hokies did whatever they wanted to against Marshall on the way to 444 yards. There's no reason to punish Tech for losing to Alabama.
Why this is too low: There's no passing game whatsoever. There's a chance that Nebraska stuffs the run next week and there won't be anything that Tyrod Taylor and the Hokie O can do about it.
Up next: Nebraska

9. BYU 2-0
Last Week: W, at Tulane, 54-3
Why this is too high: Should the Cougars be given full and total credit for beating Oklahoma without Sam Bradford for a half? That's going to be one of the big questions all year.   
Why this is too low: That's exactly what you do if you're BYU. If you're trying to prove the Oklahoma win wasn't a fluke, then you destroy a bad Tulane team on the road.
Up next: Florida State

10. Oklahoma 1-1
Last Week: W, Idaho State 64-0
Why this is too high: Oooooohhhh. Idaho State. Biiiiig man. QB Landry Jones still ahs to prove he can play, while the O line needs to be able pave the for the backs on the goal line. 
Why this is too low: It's holding pattern time. Bradford is expected to be back in a few weeks, and then this might be the No. 2 team in America. However, that might take a few weeks and Miami is looming.
Up next: Tulsa

11. Auburn 2-0
Last Week: W, Mississippi State 49-24
Why this is too high: The jury is still out on whether or not the team really is any good, and the passing game is a serious question mark after the win over Mississippi State, but ...
Why this is too low: ... the Gus Malzahn offense is rolling on the ground. Louisiana Tech and Miss State have decent run defenses, and Auburn ripped off 691 yards in the first two games. Ben Tate is seventh in the nation in rushing and Onterio McCalebb is ninth.
Up next: West Virginia
