By my count, you have two top-25 losses in weeks zero and one:

  • #16 Auburn losing a close neutral-site game to #13 Oregon.  The Tigers shouldn't drop much for that.  
  • #25 losing at #23 Stanford.  The Wildcats would probably drop out for that but a road loss to a higher ranked team shouldn't hurt them much.  

After Oregon and Stanford, the next most impressive win is probably Florida's win over Miami but the Gators are already #8 so I can't see them moving up more than one or two spots based on beating an unranked team.  

So I'm guessing Oregon and Stanford move up a few spots each, Auburn moves down a few spots, Nebraska replaces Northwestern near the bottom of the poll and everybody else pretty much holds serve?

If Florida blew out Miami say 52-7 they'd jump some I think.  Other blowouts would be considered as would unexpectedly close wins, say UGA beats Vandy 34-31, I think it would be fair to drop them 3-4-5 spots.

Ugh, forgot to do them as unordered lists, and then for some reason they were too long for one post.  Not going to re-do

So this looks like a relatively uneventful week with just three ranked teams losing and two of those losing to other ranked teams:

  • #12 aTm loses relatively close on the road to #1 Clemson, and
  • #6 LSU loses at #10 Texas, and
  • #20 Stanford loses on the road to a USC team that has votes in the preseason poll

So it looks like minimal top-25 changes again with:
  • #12 aTm dropping just a few spots, and
  • #6 LSU and #10 Texas probably roughly flipping spots, and
  • USC replacing Stanford near the bottom of the poll, and
  • everybody else roughly holding serve

I think LSU is one of the tougher teams to predict.

The first two weeks of the schedule are trash.  Even those Week 1 neutral site games aren't any good aside from Auburn-Oregon
