4 Clemson Tigers
5 Houston Cougars
6 Stanford Cardinal
7 Michigan Wolverines
8 Washington Huskies
9 Oklahoma Sooners I went back on forth on OU vs. UGA at number 9. Ultimately, I think leading early to a good Houston team, but ultimately falling does not mean OU should fall out of the top ten completely, and beating up on a team with a terrible run defense is great, but I right now I value OU's loss to a team I have in the top 5 more than UGA's beating a team that was in the 20s.
10 Georgia Bulldogs
11 Louisville Cardinals
12 Michigan State Spartans
13 Tennessee Volunteers I'll probably be viewed as a homer, but I don't think Tennessee should fall that much. I honestly initially questioned whether they should fall from the top ten at all, given how many other teams lost. However, upon reflection, I see a lot of other teams that performed very well, and Tennessee quite frankly did not. I put them behind MSU, which did really wow me, and ahead of TCU that struggled far too much against an FCS team. I think the App State team the Vols faced was very underrated, but it's hard to tell much from one game. Right now I leave the Vols at 13, expecting them to climb back up but knowing that they cannot if they do not improve offensively.
14 TCU Horned Frogs
15 Iowa Hawkeyes
16 Ole Miss Rebels
17 Texas Longhorns
18 Wisconsin Badgers
19 Oklahoma State Cowboys
20 Notre Dame Fighting Irish
21 Texas A&M Aggies
22 LSU Tigers
23 Oregon Ducks
24 Baylor Bears
25 Miami Hurricanes
