Rank	Team	Reason
1	Alabama Crimson Tide
2	Oklahoma Sooners
3	USC Trojans
4	Penn State Nittany Lions	I would like to see PSU play some stronger opponents before declaring them the best team in the B1G right now. But based on the results of the last two weeks it's starting to look that way.
5	Ohio State Buckeyes
6	Florida State Seminoles
7	Washington Huskies
8	Clemson Tigers
9	Michigan Wolverines	It's starting to become obvious that quarterback is a serious liability for this team.
10	Wisconsin Badgers
11	Oklahoma State Cowboys
12	LSU Tigers
13	Stanford Cardinal
14	Georgia Bulldogs	All they did was beat a fringe top 25 team by a single point who was only ranked due to their name brand. Not an impressive victory IMO.
15	Louisville Cardinals
16	Colorado Buffaloes
17	Kansas State Wildcats
18	Auburn Tigers
19	Virginia Tech Hokies
20	West Virginia Mountaineers
21	TCU Horned Frogs
22	Miami Hurricanes
23	Tennessee Volunteers
24	Florida Gators
25	Minnesota Golden Gophers	I was torn when it came to picking a #25 team. There were a half dozen teams I considered but with most teams only playing two games so far it was hard to pick a clear cut favorite. I settled on Minnesota who I felt has the highest potential ceiling because PJ Fleck is such a wild card.
