Overall Rationale: Dropped out: Texas (24) and NC State (25)
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Alabama Crimson Tide | +0: The tide keep rolling with a big win over a great FSU team. |
2 | USC Trojans | +2: Good win over WMU gives them the jump over t0SU |
3 | Ohio State Buckeyes | -1: Didn't play well against Indiana for much of the game.  For that I'm giving them a bump. |
4 | Clemson Tigers | +1: If that game was any indication of how well their "reloading" is going to go, then this team will be very good down the stretch. |
5 | Penn State Nittany Lions | +1: Zipped by the zips. |
6 | Oklahoma Sooners | +1: Good win over UTEP. |
7 | Washington Huskies | +1: Underperformed but still got the W. |
8 | Florida State Seminoles | -5: Played very well against Bama.  Unfortunately, the loss of Francois will probably be a BIG issue for this team.  They still have the talent to win most of their games, but the lack of experience at QB could hurt them in the long run. |
9 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | +1: Got the W over Tulsa. |
10 | Michigan Wolverines | -1: This is a very good Michigan team.  The only issue I see is at the QB position.  If they can minimize Speight's mistakes they will be very well off. |
11 | Wisconsin Badgers | +0: Good showing against Utah State, but not enough for them to jump anyone above them. |
12 | LSU Tigers | +0: Good win against BYU (who I thought would win, personally). |
13 | Auburn Tigers | +0: Good win, not enough to jump anyone. |
14 | Georgia Bulldogs | +2: Eason's injury could harm this team, but Fromm looked promising.  Performed better than I expected, especially without their starting QB gives them the jump over Louisville (and a Florida team that lost). |
15 | Louisville Cardinals | -1: Lamar Jackson showed off his Heisman winning skill once again.  It seemed like once again it was him trying to drag his team to a W with their performance against the Purdue Spoilermakers.  Time will tell if the rest of the team can keep up with him. |
16 | Virginia Tech Hokies | +2: A solid win over a good WVU team gives them the jump. |
17 | Miami Hurricanes | +2: Got the W over Bethune-Cookman.  Jumps up by way of losses ahead of them. |
18 | Stanford Cardinal | +3: Jesus that was a big win.  Beat Rice like they owed them money. |
19 | West Virginia Mountaineers | -2: Played well but came out with a L. |
20 | Kansas State Wildcats | +2: Got the W. |
21 | Utah Utes | +2: Got the W. |
22 | USF Bulls | -2: Won against SJSU in Week 0, but that performance against Stony Brook was baaaad, and for that they drop a couple spots. |
23 | Florida Gators | -8: I might be a little harsh with this one, but that's because it's easier to be hard on yourself than on others.  The loss was to a good Michigan team, but something has to change for Florida.  The offense was beyond bad and once again our D kept us in the game until they couldn't any longer.  A favorable home schedule could give the team the time it needs to develop. |
24 | Colorado Buffaloes | Previoussly NR: Got the W over Colorado State.  They had success last season, so we'll see if they can keep it up. |
25 | Idaho Vandals | Previously NR: This ones a bit of a joke, but since it's their last season in FBS, and they are 1-0, I'll give them a vote at 25th. |
