Overall Rationale: I have to put some teams in here. While some may not have looked like Top 10 teams or necessarily beaten anyone to warrant the ranking, they were the best available for the spot. 
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Alabama Crimson Tide | |
2 | Clemson Tigers | |
3 | Florida State Seminoles | |
4 | Ohio State Buckeyes | |
5 | Houston Cougars | |
6 | Michigan Wolverines | |
7 | Stanford Cardinal | |
8 | Michigan State Spartans | |
9 | Washington Huskies | |
10 | TCU Horned Frogs | |
11 | Tennessee Volunteers | Yeah, an App State team might have taken them to OT. But I'm not dropping them for beating a somewhat decent team. If App State beats Miami and Tennessee beats Virginia Tech, I have no problem leaving them in this position.  |
12 | Oklahoma Sooners | |
13 | Louisville Cardinals | |
14 | Iowa Hawkeyes | |
15 | Georgia Bulldogs | |
16 | Texas Longhorns | |
17 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | |
18 | LSU Tigers | |
19 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | |
20 | Baylor Bears | |
21 | Wisconsin Badgers | |
22 | Texas A&M Aggies | |
23 | Ole Miss Rebels | |
24 | Oregon Ducks | |
25 | San Diego State Aztecs | I had them in my preseason, and while they may have only beat an FCS team, they don't deserve to fall out of my top 25 for beating them handily. And New Hampshire isn't a slouch at the FCS level, either. SDSU will be Houston's biggest threat for the G5 NY6 Bowl Bid.  |
