| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
(-) They're Alabama. |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
(-) They're Ohio State. |
| 3 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
(-) Despite the new coach, I still like the look of this team.   |
| 4 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
(+3) They played a vastly overmatched opponent, but looked good all over the field.  They're filled with talent and ready to face anybody. |
| 5 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
(-1) I still like Oklahoma State a lot, but I like Penn State a bit more as of now. |
| 6 |
USC Trojans
|
(-) Not much to say other than they have one of the best rosters in the country and soundly beat an opponent they were expected to beat. |
| 7 |
Clemson Tigers
|
(+1) Similar to many other top teams, they played an armless opponent relative to their talent level, but looked like a complete and dangerous team that I expect to win the ACC again. |
| 8 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
(+2) Wisconsin is always a quiet threat in the B1G.  They have a dangerous team. |
| 9 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
(+2) :( |
| 10 |
Washington Huskies
|
(-1) Not the prettiest win over Rutgers. |
| 11 |
Stanford Cardinal
|
(+1) |
| 12 |
Auburn Tigers
|
(+1) |
| 13 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
(-8) The loss of Francois is a big blow, but FSU still has enough talent across the board to make an impact in CFB.   |
| 14 |
LSU Tigers
|
(+2) Suffocating defense and seemingly capable offense |
| 15 |
Virginia Tech Hokies
|
(+3) Good win, good coach |
| 16 |
USF Bulls
|
(-1) |
| 17 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
(+5) |
| 18 |
Utah Utes
|
(+3) |
| 19 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
(-) Waiting to see about the Eason injury, but there are FAR worse backup options than Fromm.  They're filled with talent, but I'm still waiting to see a spark from Kirby as a head coach.   |
| 20 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
(-3) Ugly win |
| 21 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
(+3) |
| 22 |
Mississippi State Bulldogs
|
(+3) Dan Mullen is probably the 2nd best coach in the SEC and has a deadly QB at his fingertips. |
| 23 |
West Virginia Mountaineers
|
(-3) Can't punish them too much for that loss |
| 24 |
Florida Gators
|
(-10) Our offense looked hapless yet again, but the defense looked good.  Unfortunately, a few inopportune injuries to our thin defense could prove catastrophic.   |
| 25 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
(-2) |
