Overall Rationale: Clemson is indisputably the best team and I don't think you can argue any team other than Bama at #2 after that it's up for debate. 
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Obviously #1 |
| 2 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Obviously #2 |
| 3 |
USC Trojans
|
Hottest team and would take them over every team other than Clemson/Bama |
| 4 |
Washington Huskies
|
Fantastic team and season. Played a pretty decent game against Bama outside of two mistakes but just couldn't hang. |
| 5 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Should've been in the playoff. Would take them over every team below them. |
| 6 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Finished with eleven wins after a 1-2 start and a Conference Championship and Sugar Bowl trophy are fantastic. |
| 7 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
Likely loses to Michigan if Butt Peppers play the entire game, still had a solid season with several ranked wins. |

Wisconsin Badgers
|
Did what was expected against a good WMU team ten win season. |
