Notre Dame (12-0) remains in the top spot but surprisingly Oregon (11-1) is still second in our poll. SEC teams take spots 3-5 with ties at spots seven, nine, 11 and 18 this week. Hello to three state schools in California in San Jose State (10-2), San Diego State (9-3) and Fresno State (9-3). Goodbye to Ohio State (12-0), Michigan (8-4), Texas (8-3) and Rutgers (9-2).
Hopefully this is the most fluid college football poll that you read and enjoy how we put it together. So with the help of my crew of myself, Nate Jessen and Neil Walter here is this week’s 4Quarters top 25 poll.
