Georgia ranks atop my Associated Press Top 25 ballot following the Dawgs' 34-3 destruction of Clemson.
Oregon, which received my No. 1 vote in the preseason poll, drops to No. 3 after a much closer-than-expected 10-point win over Idaho.
New teams on my ballot this week include Arizona, Louisville and Kentucky, while Florida State, Texas A&M and Virginia Tech dropped out of my Top 25.
Here's my Week 2 AP ballot compared with Action Network senior writer Collin Wilson’s betting power ratings.
Note: The "AP" column is my AP Poll ballot ranking for each team. The "PR" column is where each team sits in Action Network's betting power ratings.

Among the teams I ranked between Nos. 11 and 20, Collin and I have Utah, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Missouri and Oklahoma in that grouping.
However, we also have some major disputes.
I have Tennessee at No. 17, while Collin power-rates the Vols at No. 28. I also ranked Iowa at No. 18, but Collin puts the Hawkeyes at No. 27.

Collin agrees with three of the final five teams on my Top 25 ballot — Clemson, Louisville and Kentucky.
However, Collin has LSU power-rated at No. 11, while I ranked the Tigers No. 21.
Collin also has two teams rated in his Top 25 that were not on my ballot: No. 19 Washington and No. 20 Texas A&M.
