Top 25 Rankings Changes: Alabama Could Replace USC At No. 1 After Michigan Demolition

The No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide had the most impressive victory of the weekend with their dismantling of the eighth-ranked Michigan Wolverines. In the only matchup of top-10 opponents, Alabama clearly proved they were the superior side with their 41-14 victory; Michigan, meanwhile, will probably be taking a tumble down the polls.

Alabama's victory will probably be enough to propel them past the USC Trojans to the top of the polls. USC had a strong win against Hawaii, but the victory by the Trojans lacks the prestige of the titanic Alabama-Michigan contest. It's likely that USC will be looking up at Alabama come the release of the Week 2 polls.

Another potential move in the rankings could be between the fourth and fifth spots in the poll. Oklahoma had an unimpressive 24-7 victory over UTEP, while Oregon obliterated Arkansas State with a 50-point first half and cruised to a 57-34 victory. The incredible early offensive proficiency by the Ducks might be enough to swap them with the Sooners at the fourth spot.

Talk about college football rankings with Alabama fans at Roll Bama Roll, with USC fans at Conquest Chronicles, with Michigan fans at Maize N Brew, with Oregon fans at Addicted to Quack, and with Oklahoma fans at Crimson and Cream Machine.
