Overall Rationale: Meh.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
I really resent ranking these guys #1 week after week, year after year. I didn't have a follow-up point, I just wanted to get that off my chest |
| 2 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
78 is a big number |
| 3 |
Washington Huskies
|
70 is also a big number |
| 4 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Firing on all cylinders now. |
| 5 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Nothing much bad to say about these guys, but out of the top 5 they are the least tested so far (not that Indiana's a pushover, there are just a lot of teams with good resumes). That will definitely change next week. |
| 6 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
What the fuck even was that game? I'm not even close to ready to believe this team is for real yet. Christ on a cracker. |
| 7 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
Bye |
| 8 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
Bye |
| 9 |
Baylor Bears
|
Is it just me or does Baylor look worse every week? |
| 10 |
West Virginia Mountaineers
|
Like Baylor I'm ranking them on their undefeated record; I'm not sure either of them is actually a top-10 team. |
| 11 |
Nebraska Cornhuskers
|
Gonna be in trouble if they keep playing mediocre teams this close. |
| 12 |
Virginia Tech Hokies
|
Maybe this is an over-reaction, but they look better and better each week. |
| 13 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
They finally ran out of Pixie Dust. (I know, super original thought) |
| 14 |
Houston Cougars
|
The chance of a G5 playoff crasher is all but eliminated now :( |
| 15 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Definitely the weakest Hurricanes of the weekend |
| 16 |
Arizona State Sun Devils
|
The Pac-12 South seems weak, but ASU is on top for now. |
| 17 |
Western Michigan Broncos
|
I'm pretty interested to see where they end up if they win out. |
| 18 |
Boise State Broncos
|
This certainly isn't the Boise State that should've played for the championship in 2009, but it is remarkable to see them win so many games year after year. |
| 19 |
Auburn Tigers
|
When they can run they look really good. When they can't they don't. |
| 20 |
Utah Utes
|
Haven't seen them play yet this year so I'm still not sure what to make of them. Their results suggest mediocrity but the middle of the Pac-12 seems super wide open this year. |
| 21 |
Troy Trojans
|
Air Force isn't bad this year, so I honestly think they've earned this ranking despite a loss. |
| 22 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
We'll see which of these two is the best this week. |
| 23 |
Arkansas Razorbacks
|
|
| 24 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
I don't actually think they deserve to be ranked, I'm just putting them here to say "lol Texas" |
| 25 |
Florida Gators
|
Lost to a hurricane and their own AD this week. |
