| 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. |
