NCAA College Football FBS Power Rankings – Week 02 – 2012

Rankings - Week 2

September 4, 2012 to September 10, 2012

Tennessee

+22

Week 2 Movers

As expected, the Big 12 is dominating the statistics early in the season with six teams in the NCAA.com Power Rankings, giving it almost half the 15-team field.

Our fickle friends in Knoxville, Tenn., won't take issue with Tennessee making headlines this week after a promising start. In Lincoln, Neb., however, it might be more fuel to add to the fire after the Blackshirts' performance. Ouch.

Rank		Points	Record	Comment
1	Florida St. Shop	1,844.79	2-0	It's scary to think how far ahead the Seminoles would be if they got to count a full game of stats against Savannah State. Yikes.
2	Texas Tech Shop	1,502.71	2-0	Ten players had multiple receptions vs. North Texas. Four caught TDs. The passing game in Lubbock thrives no matter the coach.
3	Oklahoma Shop	1,394.03	2-0	New year, new stud running back. Damien Williams' four TDs and 156 yards on 10 carries puts him in elite company.
4	Arizona St. Shop	1,393.89	2-0	When a TE catches 10 passes for 131 yards as Chris Coyle did last week, teams better start scouting better.
5	LSU Shop	1,185.66	2-0	Does Washington miss RB Chris Polk that much or is LSU's front seven that good? You only get one guess here.
6	UCLA Shop	1,162.34	2-0	The Blackshirts were busted, beat and battered by Bruins RB Johnathan Franklin for 217 rushing yards. Shocked?
7	Oklahoma St. Shop	1,147.47	1-1	The Cowboys still love to get in shootouts but without a first-round NFL QB and WR in the lineup, it might want to play D more too.
8	Michigan St. Shop	1,111.15	2-0	Sparty went on the road and had a party. Now it's time to get serious with a ranked (isn't it always?) Notre Dame squad coming to town.
9	Kansas St. Shop	1,023.90	2-0	Keep on doubting Old Bill Snyder. Go ahead. He'll just keep running QB Collin Klein down your throat ... and keep winning.
10	TCU Shop	1,012.45	1-0	One game, two perfect QBs. Casey Paschall was 9 of 9, Trevone Boykin 8 of 8. There's no better start to a season we can find.
11	Texas Shop	996.56	2-0	QB David Ash completed 16 of 22 passes to 12 receivers. The UT D was smothering. That's a pretty good recipe brewing in Austin.
12	Tennessee Shop	986.48	2-0	Take the old (Justin Hunter) and new (Cordarrelle Patterson), mix with near perfect (Tyler Bray) and you get an Orange Crush.
13	Ole Miss Shop	974.88	2-0	The Rebels rolled to 332 rushing yards behind Jeff Scott, Randall Mackey and Bo Wallace. The ride ends vs. Texas.
14	Clemson Shop	903.66	2-0	Oh, Sammy, where have you been? Clemson hasn't needed it's star WR with DeAndre Watkins' performance in the opening weeks.
15	Minnesota Shop	902.32	2-0	Good for Jerry Kill. The coach had his share of scary headlines but getting to 2-0 is just the right medicine his program needs.
