Week 4 Rankings

September 27, 2009

After 4 great weeks of college football, I've now seen almost every one of the upper-tier teams in the country play live. Thousands of highlights I've seen don't compare to the 53 live games I've watched.
A thriller between 17th-ranked Houston and Texas Tech just ended with despite being the ranked team, the underdog Houston Cougars coming out on top.

There are still 17 of 119 teams in the FBS undefeated, but Week 4 had four of the top 10 teams lose.

The Harris Poll will be released on Sunday, September 27. The Harris Poll, along with the Coaches' Poll, is a major factor in the BCS formula. The first BCS Standings will be released on October 18 after Week 7.

The AP Poll, Coaches' Poll, and Harris Poll's official rankings will be added to this note Sunday evening.
But because the Pros often get it wrong..here's my Top 25 Rankings
