Overall Rationale: Still not enough data to go full computer poll, but this is (very) roughly based on this: http://www.goodrating.website/#/table/2016?win_percentage_rating=5&ypp_offense_rating=10&ypp_defense_rating=10&recruiting_score_rating=75Disclaimer: if you played an FCS team or Vanderbilt, I penalized you.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Ah dammit, they have a QB. |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
THEY JUST KEEP BEING GOOD AT FOOTBALL. |
| 3 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
What the fuck did I just watch? |
| 4 |
Houston Cougars
|
Here's the thing. OU is a good football team. Like, really good. UH is so damn legit. |
| 5 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Will need to wait another few weeks to get a read on this team, but they certainly aren't bad. |
| 6 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Went into a hostile environment against a surprisingly good D. Didn't play great but won. |
| 7 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Eason looks the part. Chubb is still a freak of nature. |
| 8 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Texas back? |
| 9 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
They looked very good in their debut. I'm sure nothing bad will happen soon. |
| 10 |
Washington Huskies
|

Louisville Cardinals
|
Lamar Jackson just scored again. |
| 12 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
Did what the could against Fournette. Looked solid against potentially average LSU squad. |
| 13 |
Baylor Bears
|
We'll see how good they are when they hit conference play. |
| 14 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Got beat by a good team. They should run the damn ball more. |
| 15 |
Stanford Cardinal
|
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
| 16 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
See above. |
| 17 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
Lol, watch Ferentz get a contract extension. |
| 18 |
USF Bulls
|
They did okay against an overmatched Towson. |
| 19 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Kizer is awesome. ND defense needs to be better. Still, nothing to scoff at, losing in 2OT against a (good?) Texas team on the road. |
| 20 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
What the fuck did I just watch? |
| 21 |
LSU Tigers
|
Well I guess, uh.... I mean  |
| 22 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Josh Dobbs is a bad passer. Also, did you know he's an Aerospace Engineering major? |
| 23 |
WKU Hilltoppers
|
New QB White Mike with a paltry 517 yards in his debut. Gonna need more out of him. |
| 24 |
Michigan State Spartans
|
Meh |
| 25 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Blew the brakes off of a terrible FCS team. Congrats guys. |
