Week 6 is done, and it looks like the college football landscape is actually becoming cloudier if that is possible. The top teams are still there, but some of them seem a bit more shaky than advertised. Let's see what's going on in this week's edition of the Walker Sports College Football Poll.

1)Florida Gators: Great win against a very good LSU team. Tim Teabow has struggled but the Gators defense is amazing.

2)Texas Longhorns:
The Red River Shootout is Saturday. That means the Longhorns will get their first test of the season. I like what Colt McCoy is doing this year. If he keeps it going against Oklahoma he will solidify his spot at the top of the Heisman race.

3)Boise State Broncos: The Broncos deserve to be here. Believe it.
4)Alabama Crimson Tide:Nick Saban is workingon something special over there in Alabama. Just because LSU couldn't get the job done against Florida doesn't mean the Tide won't be able to.
5)Ohio State Buckeyes:So sick of watching this team work their way into the top 5. But here they are again.

6)Virginia Tech Hokies:Are the Hokies teh best 1 lost team in teh country? It's possible. Tyrod Taylor is leaving his mark on the ACC. Passing, running and Hokie ball on defense, that's a dangerous combination.

7)TCU Horn Frogs:This is a talented team. Their BCS game is is gonna be great to watch when they trip up Florida.

8)USC Trojans: Matt Barkley is settling in as the starting quarterback of a big time program. Rumor has it, that the Trojan coaches are opening up the playbook for Barkley. This could be interesting against the Domers on Saturday.

9)Cincinnati Bearcats:The Bearcats are my favorite team in college football right now. Brian Kelly is the coach of the future. It is going to be great when they take out South Florida on Thursday and cruise into a Big East championship.

10)LSU Tigers:
Tough lost last weekend again Florida. The Tigers are still in the hunt for the SEC championship.

11)Oklahoma State Cowboys:
This Dez Robinson stuff is a mess. That being said the Cowboys have flown under the radar since their early season losses. That could be a good thing.

12)Iowa Hawkeyes:
They win ugly but they win. I'm not sold that Iowa is the cream of the crop in the Big 10, but every now and then they have been known to break through.

13)Penn State Nitnay Lions: A win against Ohio State and they are right back in the thick of things.

14)Kansas Jayhawks:They aren't the best team in the Big 12 North, but the Jayhawks have what it takes to make things interesting.

15)BYU Cougars:The Mountain West is getting stout again. TCU is leading the way, but BYU is just behind them.

16)Oklahoma Sooners:
The Red River Shootout can change this programs fortunes. Sam Bradford is back in the mix and he got plenty of reps in last week against Baylor. Too bad Texas is a lot better.

17)Miami Hurricanes:
I still think the Canes are the best team in teh ACC. Too bad even if they win out they still won't be able to pass Virginia Tech in the rankings.

18)Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets:
That was a great win last Saturday on the road. Georgia Tech is bouncing around the ACC but it's difficult to believe they will be able to make any real noise against the Virginia Tech's and Miami's of the world.

19)Nebraska Cornhuskers:
The Black Shirts are back. Nebraska is quickly coming on as the best team in the Big 12 North. Winning the Big 12 North will be impressive, pulling an upset in the Big 12 championship game would be amazing.

20)South Florida Bulls:Their whole summer could come down to Thursday night. Knockinf off the Bearcats will put the Bulls on the inside track for the Big East Championship.

21)Missouri Tigers:All of a sudden teh Big 12 North doesn't look so shabby does it?

22)Houston Cougars:Doing just enough to hang around and stick in the top 25. What does it mean in the grandscheme of things? Absolutely nothing.

23)Utah Utes:The third team from the Mountain West in the top 25. This is a great conference, and bringing in Boise State in a few season will make them a dominate conference.

24)Notre Dame:A win on Saturday and Notre Dame is in teh spotlight for good. Now can the Golden Domers knock off USC at home? That is a big question.

25)Auburn Tigers:Horrible outting last weekend. The Tigers are barely hanging on here, it's doubtful you will see them in the top 25 next week.
