Rank	Team	Reason
1	Alabama Crimson Tide
2	Washington Huskies	I think Clemson will beat them (maybe)... But after a beatdown of a top 10 team compared to Clemson's struggle putting teams away, the Huskies get this slot.
3	Clemson Tigers
4	Ohio State Buckeyes	Only one close loss. Penn State has the head to head... but two losses. And one large one. I much as I want to justify Penn State for this spot, I couldn't find the ability to drop tOSU from the playoff.
5	Penn State Nittany Lions
6	Oklahoma Sooners
7	Michigan Wolverines
8	Wisconsin Badgers
9	Western Michigan Broncos	Sad to see an undefeated team not even garner consideration for a title. It is what it is. Maybe next year (if you can keep Fleck).
10	Colorado Buffaloes
11	USC Trojans
12	Florida State Seminoles
13	Oklahoma State Cowboys
14	West Virginia Mountaineers
15	Stanford Cardinal
16	Virginia Tech Hokies
17	Pittsburgh Panthers	ACC Homerism? Perhaps. But Pitt has two REALLY good looking wins.
18	Auburn Tigers
19	Florida Gators
20	Louisville Cardinals
21	LSU Tigers
22	Temple Owls
23	San Diego State Aztecs
24	WKU Hilltoppers
25	USF Bulls
