Where did everyone land?
The second week of the Big Ten bloggers top 10 is now ready for your perusal. We decided to go with a top 10 instead of top 25 to just make things a little bit easier on everyone. Let’s be honest, most of us don’t watch enough college football to know who the 23rd best team in the country is and sometimes I think that the way we do rankings just doesn’t make any sense. Thanks to the folks over at The Only Colors for putting this together. Below are this week’s results.
10. Penn State – 17 points
9. Utah – 18 points
8. Miami – 19 points
7. USC – 25 points
6. Missouri – 26 points
5. Ole Miss – 53 points
4. Alabama – 59 points
3. Texas – 73 points
2. Ohio State – 81 points
1. Georgia – 88 points
In the 2nd version of the SBN Poll, the top 4 teams remain in the same order, while four other teams from week 1 – Ole Miss, USC, Utah, and Penn State – find themselves in new spots. Notre Dame and Oregon fall out of this week’s poll to make room for Missouri and Miami.
We also voted on the Player of the Week, and just like in week 1, there was only one name who received more than one nomination from our panel. Week 2’s honorable mentions are Xavier Scott – DB, Illinois; Kyle McCord – QB, Syracuse; and “NIU’s Kicker for ruining Notre Dame’s CFP chances”. I guess one panelist was feeling some schadenfreude Saturday afternoon when the Fighting Irish fell to Northern Illinois.
This week’s top individual honor goes to Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik. Against Appalachian State, Cade completed 24 of his 26 passes for 378 yards and 5 touchdowns. He also had rushing touchdowns of 2 and 3 yards. He did not play the whole game as it became a blowout. Congratulations, Mr. Klubnik.
