NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 2

I'm a day late due to a Sunday game in Division II. In the future I'll just fold those games into the next week's rankings. But I didn't want to leave out the powerhouses of Florida Tech and Savannah State.

After just 2 weeks, we've got enough separation between each team that there are only a handful of ties in the 130-team field. Texas Tech is #1, but they have a very tenuous hold on the spot. The top 15 teams each have cumulative opponent records of 2-2, but Texas Tech's opponents have beaten slightly higher ranked teams. The wins and losses of the top teams' FCS opponents, and opponents' opponents, etc., can easily flip the ordering around early in the season, so Texas Tech has to be happy that Montana State beat Southeast Missouri State, who beat Southern Illinois, who beat UMass.

There are 52 undefeated teams remaining, mostly 2-0 but 8 teams are taking an early bye week sitting at 1-0.

I didn't mention Missouri last week, but I'm still watching them. They lost pretty unexpectedly to Wyoming to just destroy any illusions their fans had of a national title chance, but came back strong against West Virginia this week. I've got them at #46, the best 1-1 team around!
