College Football Week 3 Power Rankings: Top 5

1. Oklahoma Sooners (2-0)- The Sooners proved this Saturday that they deserve to remain at #1. They traveled to Florida State to play the then #5 Seminoles. This game was the most anticipated game of the season and it lived up to its name. It was back and forth throughout the first half but the Sooners pulled away in the second half and ended up winning 23-13. Kenny Stills (LCC grad) was the MVP pulling in 7 catches for 125 yards and a TD. Look for Oct. 8th at Texas to be there next toughest match up.

2. LSU Tigers (3-0)- The Tigers have clearly had the hardest schedule among the top 25 teams in college football so far. Week one they pulled off the upset vs the Oregon Ducks. Saturday they had another tough test on the road vs #25 Mississippi State. Known for their their rowdy fans, Mississpippi State could never get their offense rolling as LSU won 19-6. The Tigers defense has really been key this season only allowing 9 pts in their last two games. The schedule doesn't get any easier as they face off at #16 West Virginia next week in a SEC vs ACC showdown.

3. Alabama Crimson Tide (3-0)- Their only challenge came last week vs the Penn State Nittney Lions. An all white Happy Valley stadium didn't seam to phase the Tide as they won convincingly 27-11. Of course they are going to have an amazing defense with Nick Saban as coach. This past Saturday, they shut out North Texas 41-0. I am interested in seeing how they do next week when they host #14 Arkansas. The following week they play at #15 Florida so these next two weeks are very crucial for the Tide if they have any aspirations of making it to the National Championship.

4. Boise State Broncos (2-0)- The mid major college is starting off their season great like usual, as they have dominated their first two opponents. Their big victory came week 1 at #19 Georgia. What was intended to be a close game, the Broncos were always in control as the final score ended up being 35-21. They had another tough road game this past Friday at Toledo but again they won easily 40-15. There schedule is very soft like always as the only ranked team they play is #20 TCU on Nov. 12th. All the Broncos can do is win every  game by a wide margin and hope the BCS committee puts them in the Championship game.

5. Wisconsin Badgers (3-0)- I'd say transfer quarter back, Russel Wilson, has adjusted to the Badgers offense quite well. He has put up 791 yards in their first 3 games, throwing 8 TD's to only 1 INT, and also completing 76% of his passes. The Badgers have man handled their first three opponents beating UNLV 51-17, Oregon State 35-0, and Northern Illinois 49-7. The Badgers definitely look like a championship team with a great passing game as well as the two headed monsters (Ball and White) switching off carries. Mark on your calender October 1st as the Badgers will take on the new Big 10 rival #7 Nebraska.

Russell Wilson transferred from NC State earlier this year. His goal is to lead Wisconsin to the National Championship game.
