| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
Still think Lamar Jackson is the best player in the country. |
| 2 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Really really good. |
| 3 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Also really really good. |
| 4 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Impressively demolished Penn State |
| 5 |
Stanford Cardinal
|
3 nice FBS wins. |
| 6 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
Arkansas, Auburn, and UCLA are some nice pelts |
| 7 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
Extremely impressive 30-6 win in East Lansing. |
| 8 |
Houston Cougars
|
Win against Oklahoma is losing a bit of luster. |
| 9 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Also very nice win in Atlanta |
| 10 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Got the Florida monkey off you back! |
| 11 |
Baylor Bears
|
Beat a bunch of cupcakes and then handily beat a good team. |
| 12 |
Washington Huskies
|
Beat a bunch of cupcakes then not-so-handily beat a not-that-good team. Better get some things fixed before Stanford rolls into town. |
| 13 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
Some semblance of a defense would be nice for the Noles. |
| 14 |
San Diego State Aztecs
|
Not sure how impressed to be with their win at Cal. Somewhat impressed I suppose. |
| 15 |
Nebraska Cornhuskers
|
Quietly moving on up. |
| 16 |
Utah Utes
|
Kyle Whittingham's got some cajones. |
| 17 |
Boise State Broncos
|
They've beaten two bad Pac-12 teams, which isn't too bad |
| 18 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
@GT, vs. FSU, vs. UNC, @VT, @ND, vs. Pitt in their next six games. Yeesh. |
| 19 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Best 2-2 team in the country. Wouldn't argue too much if you wanted to place them a few spots higher. |
| 20 |
Arizona State Sun Devils
|
ASU is basically Florida State West. |
| 21 |
West Virginia Mountaineers
|
3-0 with a couple of P5 wins? Welcome to the rankings! |
| 22 |
Western Michigan Broncos
|
Shame that CMU lost to take some luster off of this week's game. |
| 23 |
Michigan State Spartans
|
Struggled with Furman, had a huge comeback against a not-that-good ND team, and then got blown out at home (by a probably really good Wisconsin team). I bet they will be quite a bit higher in the actual poll but this feels right to me. |
