NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 2

LSU retains its #1 ranking it held after last year's championship loss (see this post for why they finished #1). The rankings are still rather preliminary, but I thought it was interesting that after just 2 weeks, and only 1 game by some teams, there are only 2 ties in the rankings, at #68 and #72.

On a Mizzou note, they took the lead early over Georgia and had a lead late into the 3nd quarter, but couldn't quite hold it together. I blame the lack of local St. Louis coverage, preventing me from watching the game on TV.
