12. Texas (4-2)

Week 7 Result: Defeated Houston

Desmond Ridder’s 313 total yards and five forced turnovers by the defense ensured Cincinnati didn’t have a letdown after last week’s win over UCF.

Bad news for the rest of the Pac-12 South: Jayden Daniels is only going to get better over the second half of the season.

21. Tulane (5-1)

Week 4 Result: Off Week

The Sooners were off in Week 4 and host Texas Tech next Saturday.

7. Auburn (4-0)

Week 4 Result: Defeated Texas A&M

Two road trips to Texas, two victories for Auburn. The Tigers didn’t generate much on offense (299 yards), but coach Gus Malzahn’s team maximized their opportunities.

8. Notre Dame (2-1)

Week 4 Result: Lost to Georgia

The Fighting Irish impressed in a loss at Georgia, but penalties (12), a lack of big plays on offense and production out of the ground game are areas that must be addressed to make a run at the playoff.

9. Texas (3-1)

Week 4 Result: Defeated Oklahoma State

Sam Ehlinger’s four passing touchdowns and timely stops in second half help Texas end four-game losing streak to Oklahoma State.

10. Wisconsin (3-0)

Week 4 Result: Defeated Michigan

Total domination. Jonathan Taylor’s big day and standout defensive effort key Badgers’ blowout victory over Michigan.

11. Florida (4-0)

Week 4 Result: Defeated Tennessee

Kyle Trask tossed two interceptions but delivered a solid start (20 of 28 for 293 yards) in a 34-3 win over Tennessee.

12. Penn State (3-0)

Week 4 Result: Off Week

The Nittany Lions were off in Week 4 and return to action Friday at Maryland.

13. Oregon (3-1)

Week 4 Result: Defeated Stanford

Ducks get revenge for last year’s overtime loss by beating Stanford 21-6 on Saturday afternoon. Oregon has not allowed an offensive touchdown since the opener against Auburn.

14. Texas A&M (2-2)

Week 4 Result: Lost to Auburn

Kellen Mond threw for 335 yards in Saturday’s loss to Auburn, but once again, Texas A&M struggled to win the battle up front and on the ground with its offense.

15. Iowa (3-0)

Week 4 Result: Off Week

The Hawkeyes did not play in Week 4 and return to action on Saturday versus MTSU.

16. Boise State (4-0)

Week 4 Result: Defeated Old Dominion

Cavaliers needed second-half comeback to hold off Old Dominion’s upset bid.

18. California (4-0)

Week 4 Result: Defeated Ole Miss

Goal-line stand in final seconds keeps California undefeated going into a key Pac-12 matchup with Arizona State next week.

19. Washington (3-1)

Week 4 Result: Defeated BYU

Jacob Eason’s three touchdown passes helped to ensure Washington didn’t suffer the same fate as USC did last week in Provo.

20. USC (3-1)

Week 4 Result: Defeated Utah

Matt Fink stepped up with Kedon Slovis injured, and Utah’s secondary had no answer for receiver Michael Pittman.

21. Utah (3-1)

Week 4 Result: Lost to USC

Big plays allowed in the secondary and missed opportunities on offense doom Utah in Los Angeles. The severity of a shoulder injury to running back Zack Moss is worth monitoring.

22. UCF (3-1)

Week 4 Result: Lost to Pitt

UCF’s 35-34 loss to Pitt was its first regular season defeat since Nov. 26, 2016.

23. Oklahoma State (3-1)

Week 4 Result: Lost to Texas

Two missed scoring opportunities in second half prove costly for Mike Gundy’s team in 36-30 loss to Texas.

Week 4 Result: Defeated Elon

Quarterback Jamie Newman torched Elon for five touchdowns in an easy win for Wake Forest.

25. Michigan (2-1)

Week 4 Result: Lost to Wisconsin

Wolverines were thoroughly dominated in Madison. Can Jim Harbaugh get things back on track?

As expected, Alabama rolled to an easy win over New Mexico State on Saturday.

2. Clemson (2-0)

Week 2 Result: Defeated Texas A&M

Week 2 Result: Defeated Texas

Saturday night’s win against Texas showed how far LSU’s offense has improved since last season.

Freshman receiver George Pickens seems primed to take on a bigger role after catching four passes for 78 yards against Murray State.

5. Ohio State (2-0)

Week 2 Result: Defeated South Dakota

Jalen Hurts has more overall touchdowns (nine) than incompletions (seven) through two games this year.

9. Utah (2-0)

Week 2 Result: Lost to Clemson

The Aggies weren’t able to get enough consistency or big plays on offense to pull off the upset in Death Valley.

Week 2 Result: Defeated Buffalo

Nittany Lions started slow but pulled away in the second half for a 45-13 win over Buffalo.

14. Auburn (2-0)

15. Oregon (1-1)

Week 2 Result: Defeated Nevada

Justin Herbert’s five passing touchdowns helped Oregon rebound from last week’s last-second loss to Auburn.

16. Wisconsin (2-0)

Week 2 Result: Defeated Central Michigan

Badgers have steamrolled their first two opponents by a combined score of 110-0.

17. Iowa (2-0)

18. Michigan State (2-0)

Week 2 Result: Defeated Western Michigan

Week 2 Result: Defeated Marshall

The Broncos held Marshall to zero yards in the second half to hold on for a 14-7 victory.

Week 2 Result: Defeated Washington

California joins the top 25 after its stingy defense once again led the way in a win over Washington.

24. USC (2-0)

Week 2 Result: Defeated Stanford

USC’s defense didn’t allow a point in the second half, but the real story was how impressive freshman quarterback Kedon Slovis was in his first start.

25. Washington (1-1)

Week 2 Result: Lost to California

The Huskies outgained California (348 to 303), but three drives into the red zone ended in a field goal.

Crimson Tide got off to a slow start but still finished with 512 yards in a dominant 42-3 win over Duke.

2. Clemson (1-0)

Week 1 Result: Defeated Georgia Tech

Trevor Lawrence was just okay on Thursday night, but running back Travis Etienne and Clemson’s defense ensured the opener against Georgia Tech wasn’t close.

3. Georgia (1-0)

Week 1 Result: Defeated Vanderbilt

The Bulldogs used the nation’s best offensive line and backfield to gash Vanderbilt’s defense for 325 yards on the ground in a 30-6 victory.

4. LSU (1-0)

Quarterback Joe Burrow is the perfect fit for LSU’s new offensive scheme, as this group aced its first test in an easy win over Georgia Southern.

5. Michigan (1-0)

Week 1 Result: Defeated MTSU

There were plenty of positives for Jim Harbaugh’s team in the win over MTSU. However, there were also some things to clean up on both sides of the ball. This team also has a few key injuries – Donovan Peoples-Jones and Jon Runyan – to monitor.

6. Ohio State (1-0)

Week 1 Result: Defeated FAU

Justin Fields didn’t disappoint in his debut, and the defense held FAU to just 3.1 yards a play.

7. Oklahoma (1-0)

Week 1 Result: Defeated Houston

As expected, Jalen Hurts is going to put up huge numbers in Lincoln Riley’s offense.

8. Notre Dame (1-0)

Week 1 Result: Defeated Louisville

Notre Dame’s defense has a few things to clean up, but a 35-17 victory at Louisville moved Brian Kelly to 8-2 in openers for the Fighting Irish.

9. Texas A&M (1-0)

Week 1 Result: Defeated Texas State

Kellen Mond’s development under coach Jimbo Fisher continued with a strong outing (19 of 27 for 194 yards and 3 TDs) in an easy win over Texas State.

Longhorns win season opener for the first time under Tom Herman. And now the attention turns to a huge showdown with LSU next Saturday.

11. Washington (1-0)

Week 1 Result: Defeated Eastern Washington

The potential of Jacob Eason’s big-time arm and Washington’s receiving corps were on display in the win over Eastern Washington.

12. Utah (1-0)

Week 1 Result: Defeated BYU

A big performance from running back Zack Moss and Utah’s standout defense boosted the winning streak over BYU to nine in a row.

13. Florida (1-0)

Week 1 Result: Defeated Miami (Aug. 24)

The Hawkeyes improved to 18-3 in openers under Kirk Ferentz with a 38-14 win over Miami (Ohio).

19. Michigan State (1-0)

Week 1 Result: Defeated Tulsa

The jury is still out on whether or not the offense improved from last year. However, the answer on the other side of the ball is pretty clear. Michigan State’s defense dominated against Tulsa and will rank among the best in college football once again.

20. Boise State (1-0)

Week 1 Result: Defeated Florida State

True freshman quarterback Hank Bachmeier is going to be a big-time star for the Broncos.

21. UCF (1-0)

Week 1 Result: Defeated Florida A&M

The win over Florida A&M was costly for coach Josh Heupel’s team. Standout cornerback Brandon Moore was lost for the year due to injury.

22. Cincinnati (1-0)

Week 1 Result: Defeated UCLA

Luke Fickell’s return to Columbus will be an intriguing storyline for Cincinnati’s matchup against Ohio State in Week 2.

23. Virginia (1-0)

Week 1 Result: Defeated Pitt

The Cavaliers are 4-0 in ACC openers under coach Bronco Mendenhall.

24. Oklahoma State (1-0)

Week 1 Result: Defeated Oregon State

Big 12 defenses are going to have their hands full trying to slow down Spencer Sanders, Chuba Hubbard and Tylan Wallace this year.

Original Athlon Sports Ranking of All 130 College Football Teams for 2019

To track where we originally predicted all 130 teams would end the season, we're keeping this original posting below for reference. DISCLAIMER: This is not a preseason 130 ranking of teams going into the season. Instead, this ranking takes into account where we project teams to finish after the national championship in January. Athlon Sports projects where every team will finish in the final rankings at the conclusion of the upcoming season:

130. Rice

Mike Bloomgren inherited a big-time rebuilding project last season, so it was no surprise the Owls finished 2-11 with just one win in C-USA play. Rice brings back 13 starters and hopes last year’s experience by a handful of young players helps this team take a step forward in 2019. Bloomgren has some promising pieces – RB Juma Otoviano, WR Austin Trammell, LB Blaze Alldredge and S George Nyakwol – but question marks remain at quarterback and on defense after giving up 36 points a game.

129. UMass

New coach Walt Bell is a good hire for a UMass program that has won only 16 games over the last five years. However, the Minutemen have a lot of work to do this offseason. Only six starters are back, and Bell has to restock an offense that lost standout receiver Andy Isabella and enters 2019 with uncertainty at quarterback. A defense that gave up 42.9 points a game last fall also has concerns at every level.

128. UTEP

The Miners showed some small signs of progress in coach Dana Dimel’s first year in El Paso, but this program still has a long ways to go to contend for a bowl or winning mark in 2019. Quarterback Kai Locksley’s status is uncertain after an off-field incident in June, but the return of Greg Long and Derron Gatewood should bolster the offensive line. UTEP’s defense gave up 32.8 points a game last fall and only brings back five starters.

127. New Mexico State

The 2017 season provided New Mexico State’s first winning record since 2002 and the program’s first bowl trip since 1961. However, the Aggies slipped to 3-9 in their return to FBS Independence last fall. Coach Doug Martin’s team faces another tough schedule in 2019, so major gains in the win column are unlikely. Quarterback Josh Adkins is promising, but a defense that gave up 41.3 points a game last fall has to show marked improvement.

126. UConn

The Huskies are rebuilding with youth on both sides of the ball, and as evidenced by last year’s 1-11 finish, coach Randy Edsall and this staff have a long climb ahead in the AAC. The quarterback job is open after David Pindell finished his eligibility and backup Marvin Washington transferred in the summer. UConn’s defense is in need of major repair. This unit surrendered a whopping 50.4 points and 617.4 yards per game last season. Just getting to three wins would be a step in the right direction.

125. Bowling Green

The post-spring decision by quarterback Jarret Doege to transfer added to the list of concerns for new coach Scot Loeffler. A graduate transfer is a possibility to replace Doege, but the uncertainty under center should push the offense to lean even more on talented junior running back Andrew Clair. Brian VanGorder was hired to address a defense that surrendered 40 points a game last fall. End David Konowalski’s return from injury will help, but the Falcons only bring back three starters and question marks remain at every level.

124. Coastal Carolina

Jamey Chadwell – a former Charleston Southern head coach and interim leader of Coastal Carolina in 2017 – takes over on a full-time basis following Joe Moglia's retirement. The Chanticleers had a couple of key players transfer after last year’s 5-7 mark, and Chadwell has to do some restocking on both sides of the ball to keep this team in the mix for a bowl. Additionally, the quarterback battle between Fred Payton and Bryce Carpenter is likely to extend into the fall.

123. South Alabama

Steve Campbell seems like the right fit at South Alabama, but it may take another year of development before this program will contend for a bowl. The Jaguars return standout running back Tra Minter and receiver Kawaan Baker, but the offense needs to find an answer under center to help a unit that averaged only 24.2 points a game in 2018. The defense is also in rebuild mode after giving up 38.8 points a contest. Tyree Turner is one of the Sun Belt’s top defensive linemen but questions remain about the pieces around him.

122. Georgia State

The Panthers took a step back in coach Shawn Elliott’s second year in Atlanta. After a 7-5 mark in 2017, Georgia State finished only 2-10 with just one Sun Belt win. A youth movement on both sides of the ball was certainly to blame for the regression, but that experience should pay off in 2019. Dan Ellington could push for a spot among the top quarterbacks in the conference after accounting for 17 total touchdowns in his first year on campus. Standout receiver Penny Hart must be replaced. Georgia State’s defense brings back seven starters but surrendered 37.4 points a game last fall.

121. Akron

Tom Arth is a solid hire for an Akron program looking to make a jump in the MAC East. Unfortunately for the first-year coach, the question marks are numerous for 2019. Quarterback Kato Nelson is a playmaker and should rank among the top signal-callers in the MAC. However, the Zips need more balance and better play up front to support Nelson. The return of safety Alvin Davis, linebacker John Lako, and end Josh Ward provides a good foundation on defense, but the rest of the group will be under renovation.

120. Central Michigan

Jim McElwain is back on the sidelines as a head coach following his dismissal at Florida during the 2017 season. And it’s a good thing McElwain’s specialty is offense, as Central Michigan averaged only 15 points and 254.7 yards per game last fall. Houston transfer (and former Tennessee signal-caller) Quinten Dormady should help right away at quarterback, and Virginia Tech transfer Kalil Pimpleton has potential to be an impact addition at receiver. Defense certainly wasn’t a problem for the Chippewas last season, but a handful of key players have departed Mount Pleasant, leaving only four returning starters on this side of the ball.

119. UTSA

Improving an offense that averaged only 14.2 points a game in 2018 is the top priority for coach Frank Wilson and play-caller Jeff Kastl this offseason. The return of quarterback Frank Harris from injury could provide a spark, and four starters are back to lead the way in the trenches. UTSA’s defense should be strong up front, but standout linebacker Josiah Tauaefa departed early for the NFL.

118. San Jose State

Brent Brennan enters his third year at the helm in San Jose with just three overall victories over the last two seasons. Unfortunately for Brennan, the Spartans are likely in for another long year. Quarterback Josh Love (14 TDs) is back, and Brennan’s offense has a good cast of supporting skill talent. However, the offensive line gave up 39 sacks and remains a concern for 2019. San Jose State’s defense is an even bigger issue for Brennan. The Spartans were shredded for 211.2 rushing yards a game and needs more talent and depth at all three levels. Linebackers Jesse Osuna and Ethan Aguayo should push for All-Mountain West honors.

117. Old Dominion

The Monarchs have posted back-to-back losing seasons since winning 10 games and going to a bowl in 2016. Coach Bobby Wilder is hoping a coaching staff overhaul along with the addition of a handful of junior college transfers provides an immediate spark. Former Michigan State quarterback Messiah deWeaver is one of those JUCOs vying for time, as he will push Steven Williams (back from redshirt) for the No. 1 spot. New defensive coordinator David Blackwell won’t have standout end Oshane Ximines to lean on, and the Monarchs enter the fall with question marks at every level.

116. Texas State

New coach Jake Spavital isn’t stepping into a bad situation for his debut. Texas State brings back 16 starters, including two of the Sun Belt’s top linebackers in Bryan London and Nikolas Daniels. Spavital is regarded for his work on offense during stints as a play-caller at Texas A&M, California and West Virginia, and this group has plenty of room to improve after averaging only 19.8 points a game. Junior college (and former Montana) quarterback Gresch Jensen should provide a spark under center.

115. Kent State

The Golden Flashes only won two games in coach Sean Lewis’ debut but were more competitive than the previous year. Another step forward should be within reach in 2019. The offense returns rising star Woody Barrett at quarterback, along with a strong supporting cast at receiver and running back. Kent State’s defense is thin up front, but the outlook is better in the secondary.

114. Ball State

Coach Mike Neu is only 10-26 through three seasons, but with 18 returning starters in place for 2019, Ball State could be a sleeper to watch in the MAC West. Neu’s top priority will be developing Drew Plitt at quarterback after Riley Neal transferred to Vanderbilt. The Cardinals have one of the MAC’s top linebacker units, but the defense has to improve after finishing near the bottom of the conference versus the run and points allowed.

113. New Mexico

With a 6-18 mark over the last two years, the 2019 campaign is likely a make-or-break season for Bob Davie. And with immediate help needed on both sides of the ball, Davie is counting on an influx of junior college transfers to play a lot in 2019. The line should be the strength of the offense, but this unit needs steady play out of Tevaka Tuioti or Sheriron Jones at quarterback, along with a go-to back to emerge. The return of linebacker Alex Hart from injury is big for a defense that gave up 36.2 points a game in 2018.

112. Charlotte

Charlotte is a program with upside, and new coach Will Healy should elevate this team over the next couple of years. The 49ers just missed on a bowl last fall (5-7) and another push for a winning mark is within reach. In order to do so, Healy needs stable quarterback play to go with standout running back Benny LeMay on offense. The defense – led by standout end Alex Highsmith – could be one of Conference USA’s top units.

111. WKU

New coach Tyson Helton is tasked with getting WKU back to the top of Conference USA after this program slipped the last two years under Mike Sanford. Helton worked under Jeff Brohm during his successful run in Bowling Green, and rekindling the high-scoring offense is a priority. The skill talent and line are in place, but can the Hilltoppers get consistent play at quarterback? Six starters provide a good foundation on defense, but concerns remain at linebacker. With solid quarterback play, WKU could surprise in Helton’s debut.

110. Liberty

With Hugh Freeze taking over in Lynchburg, Liberty won’t lack for intrigue in 2019. The combination of quarterback Buckshot Calvert and receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden should produce plenty of points and allow the Flames an opportunity to push for a winning record.

109. East Carolina

The Pirates made one of the offseason’s top hires by bringing Mike Houston from James Madison to Greenville. Quarterback Holton Ahlers provides a good foundation for Houston to build around on offense, but East Carolina’s defense has to replace standout end Nate Harvey and show overall improvement after giving up 37.3 points a game. If the supporting cast fills in around Ahlers, the Pirates could be a surprise bowl team in Houston’s first year.

108. Kansas

The Jayhawks will be interesting with Les Miles at the helm. However, with uncertainty on both sides of the ball, the 2019 season is likely to be another rebuilding year in Lawrence. The strength of the defense will be in the secondary, but the front seven has to be retooled. If running back Pooka Williams returns after an off-field incident, it will be a huge boost to a group already breaking in a new quarterback.

107. Rutgers

After a 4-8 finish in Chris Ash’s second year (2017), Rutgers seemed to be going in the right direction. However, a year later, the Scarlet Knights are coming off a disappointing 1-11 mark. Getting back on track won’t be easy. Offensive coordinator John McNulty has talent to work with at running back, but quarterback Artur Sitkowski has to show marked improvement after tossing 18 picks last season. The outlook is better on defense, as cornerback Avery Young and linemen Elorm Lumor and Mike Tverdov provide optimism. How far can this unit carry the team while t
