College Football Rankings - 4 Sep

Alabama didn't disappoint in their season opener against Louisville, rolling to a 51-14 win that kept them solidly in first place in the rankings, but weak opponents knocked Clemson and Ohio State down a bit for now. Virginia Tech's bit upset of Florida State vaulted them to #3, and LSU and Boise State also jumped up close to the top 10 with larger-than-expected victories. Here are my full current rankings, with projected conference champs in bold:
