The three week mark is up, and it is now time to update the Collegefootballtopten.com Top Ten.

1.  USC, 2-0
The Trojans have only played two games, but they were both blow outs against legitimate BCS opponents (we think).  They absolutely demolished Virginia in their place two weeks ago, and took apart an overwhelmed Ohio State team in The Coliseum Saturday night.  If Pete Carroll doesn’t win every game in the Pac 10 this year, he should be fired.

2.  Oklahoma, 3-0
Oklahoma has already accomplished something this year they didn’t last year.  Sam Bradford has learned how to win on the road, outside of Oklahoma.  O.k., the Sooners beat the Longhorns in Dallas, but you know what I mean.  The Sooners completely annihilated the Washington Huskies on Saturday night.  The Sooners should have a few epic battles this year, starting with the one in Dallas.  They get a week off to get ready for a TCU team that has beaten them two straight in Norman.

3.  Florida, 2-0
The Gators took the week off after knocking off a gutsy Miami team.  They are back to take on the Tennessee Vols in Knoxville.  They get LSU on October 11.

4.  Georgia, 3-0
The ‘Dawgs struggled at South Carolina last week.  I think the sign of a great team is when the defense can carry the load when the offense struggles and vice versa.  That is what happened on Saturday.

5.  LSU, 2-0
The Tigers squeaked by North Texas at home 41-3.  LSU showed a vulnerability at QB in the passing game.  They may not need it against Auburn, but they will certainly need it at Florida on October 11.

6.  Missouri, 3-0
I jumped the Tigers over Oregon because I think they are a better team right now.  They gave up a lot of points to Illinois, but their defense has settled down since then.  Their game at home this week against Buffalo and at Nebraska (Oct. 4) will challenge them even more.

7.  South Florida, 3-0
The Bulls survived Kansas at home, and they only have one more ranked team on the schedule the rest of the year as it is right now.  That team is West Virginia, and it remains to be seen if they will stay ranked.  USF should have plenty of time to get all of the kinks worked out.  They really are the hope of the Big East this year.

8.  Oregon, 3-0
The Ducks have done everything you could ask, but they have an injured starting QB.  We remember what happened when they had an injured starting QB last year.  I think the Ducks have a better plan in place this year.  They have a couple of tests before their showdown at USC on October 4.

9.  Auburn, 3-0
The Tigers have looked pretty good until they played at Starkville beating Mississippi State 3-2.  Yeah, you read that right, 3-2.  I am not really sure what happened.  Auburn’s new spread attack was supposed to make the Tigers have a more potent attack.  I guess you have off days.  They need to not have an off day this week as they host LSU.

10.  Texas, 2-0
The Longhorns have been impressive thus far this year.  They get a “tune up” game for the postponed Arkansas game against an improved Rice Owl team.  More importantly, it seems as if Will Muschamp may have worked his magic on the Texas defense.  The Longhorns shut down two teams with QB’s from my Top Ten Returning QB’s list, Rusty Smith (Florida Atlantic) and Trevor Vitatoe (UTEP).
