| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Complete domination of Louisville on the road. Added to another good win against Auburn leads the Tigers to the top again. |
| 2 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Blew out CSU, but still haven't look as crisp as we've grown accustomed to with Saban's teams |
| 3 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Top 3 are all very close, and definitely the frontrunners for the CFP right now. |
| 4 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
|
| 5 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 6 |
USC Trojans
|
|
| 7 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
|
| 8 |
Washington Huskies
|
|
| 9 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Rebounded well. |
| 10 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
Still in a waiting pattern on FSU... Gotta prove they can score without Francois, but the defense alone will keep them in most games. |
| 11 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
|
| 12 |
Virginia Tech Hokies
|
Started out slow against ECU, but dominated the game after the first quarter. Also, has possibly the best win outside of the top 3 (Miss St over LSU is right there, too). |
| 13 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
They continue to win, but have not looked good against sub-par competition. |
| 14 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Still waiting... |
| 15 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
Struggled for a half against SMU, but pulled away in the 4th. Next few games will be huge in determining where TCU falls in the Big XII. |
| 16 |
Mississippi State Bulldogs
|
Dominating win at home against LSU. Will need confirmation over the next couple of weeks to prove it though. |
| 17 |
Auburn Tigers
|
Struggled this week (big game hangover?), but the defense is for real.  |
| 18 |
Colorado Buffaloes
|
|
| 19 |
West Virginia Mountaineers
|
|
| 20 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
Fell apart against Clemson, but still need to find out if Clemson is that good or if the Cards are just a one-trick pony. |
| 21 |
Maryland Terrapins
|
Texas win looks a little better now |
| 22 |
San Diego State Aztecs
|
Maybe Stanford isn't as good as I believed? But either way, a solid win. |
| 23 |
Oregon Ducks
|
A couple of decent wins |
| 24 |
USF Bulls
|
|
| 25 |
California Golden Bears
|
They may have been against bottom tier teams, but they have 2 OOC P5 wins to their credit. |
