After 5 weeks of play, its time for preseason projections to be removed from the program's system. Team's are who they are now, no longer can fans be buyoed by the small sample size of games and plays.
Top 10:
- Alabama
- USC
- Oklahoma
- Michigan
- Ole Miss
- Boise State
- Stanford
- Georgia
- Baylor
- Texas A&M
The only two here in the Top 10 that I really have any issue with are Boise and Georgia. Boise I think is sneaking in by virtue of blowing out a bad Virginia team, and following it up by blowing out Hawaii. Georgia is a very dangerous team, but Lambert has been a mixed bag. When the game has been close, he's been quite good completing 67% of his passes for over 8 yards per attempt. But he's also only thrown for more than 150 yards once this season, and when his team really needed a great performance against Bama he fell very flat.
The Bottom 10:
- North Texas
- Georgia State
- UTEP
- New Mexico State
- Wyoming
- Kansas
- Charolotte
- Old Dominion
- Idaho
- South Alabama
Both of the bottom two schools are currently rated as worse than an average FCS opponent.How far the Mean Green have fallen. In 2013 this team was able to average more than 30 points a game, and play solid defense. This year they gave up 62 points to Iowa, and are currently averaging just .216 points per play. I'm very disappointed in Georgia State. I really thought this fledgling program could take a bit of a step forward, but a loss to an FCS school after dropping the opener to FBS newcomer Charlotte has doomed this campaign to never reaching the 3 win mark.
