Bench Review's Top 10 for this week

1. Alabama:

Alabama has far and away been the best team in college football. Nick Saban is clearly not human in fact, he eats an oatmeal creme pie everyday. And he likes it! That right there is all the evidence you need to know he is not like the rest of us. Also another crazy stat is the Crimson Tide has scored a non offensive touchdown in eleven games straight. That's insane!

2. Michigan:

I'm not completely sold on Michigan. Jim Harbaugh is a crazy man, but he sure can coach. Well find out more about the Wolverines once they take on a team with a pulse outside of Ann Arbor

3. Clemson:

Bye week this week so my Saturday was pretty boring, but huge matchup against FSU this week where Clemson hasn't won since 2006. It also appears that the win at Auburn to start the season is the gift that keeps on giving.

4. Washington:

I'm also not completely sold on Washington since their marquee win is against a Stanford team that doesn't seem to be as great as everyone thought they were. Jake Browning has been incredible so far though. However, the Pac-12 just seems weak this year but we'll find out what they're made off this week when they take on Utah

5. Louisville:

Louisville absolutely smacked an NC State team who had their hearts ripped out last week. Lamar Jackson is still amazing. Somewhere in Kentucky a Cardinals fan is crying about how the Cardinals should be undefeated and how the entire world is against them

6. Nebraska:

I mean this seems like a good place for Nebraska right? So here is where they will stay.

7. Wisconsin:

93% of all bets placed in Las Vegas on football last week were placed on Iowa vs. Wisconsin. Why? I have no idea, but Wisconsin continues to show it has a top notch defense even though it was against a boring Hawkeyes team

8. West Virginia:

West Virginia might be known for moonshine, burning couches, and intermarriage between cousins, but Dana Holgorson has his team flying under the radar quietly playing some of the best football in the country

9. Ohio State:

Yes the Buckeyes lost last week, but they lost in a very hostile environment against a Penn State team that is much better than people realize. If they don't slip up the rest of the way and take care of Michigan they will still make the playoff

10. Baylor:

They haven't really played anybody but who else should I put here? Texas A&M? Maybe but that seemed too boring. Plus, Baylor has an actual live bear for a mascot. How cool is that?! It seems that if the Bears can get their players to respect women then this season could still be very rewarding

Teams on the rise:

Utah: Utes took care of business against UCLA

Western Michigan: P.J. Fleck will probably not be in Kalamazoo next year

Auburn:War Tiger Eagles thrashed Arkansas and look like they're finally having fun out there (and helping Clemson along the way)

Colorado: If you think having a bear for a mascot is cool Colorado has a real buffalo who runs on the field
