Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Really took care of business. Vandy looked out of place.  |
2 | Clemson Tigers | Pretty solid play. Best resume to date.  |
3 | Oklahoma Sooners | Close game against Baylor. Didn't watch this one, just basing it off of stats. They stay in the top 5 because of inertia from tOSU win.  |
4 | TCU Horned Frogs | Upset OkState. OkState's win only really good win was Pitt, who pretty much got exposed so... |
5 | Michigan Wolverines | Boilmakers played Louisville close, which led me to believe they were probably top 30 at the time. Louisville has since dropped a bit and Michigan outplayed them but I don't think it's not a bad win to tack on. They move up more cuz other teams dropped.  |
6 | Washington Huskies | Demolished CU. Not sure if it's more lack of Leavitt on defense or if Washington is that good on offense.  |
7 | USC Trojans | Yeah, Cal looks...kinda scary. Not sure if that's more Cal or USC.  |
8 | Wisconsin Badgers | Bye week. Don't really move much.  |
9 | Georgia Bulldogs | Spanks State. I'm jumping on the train boys.  |
10 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Dropped because of Iowa. Iowa could be really good again... or PSU is overhyped. I'm adjusting on both sides though so.  |
11 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Not much to read from their win.  |
12 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | I guess I gotta accept the fact that Notre Dame is okay this year too.  |
13 | Virginia Tech Hokies | Also really not much to say here. I hope to see a good game next week though.  |
14 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | They looked okay for a bit, but not sure what happened. TCU's defense seemed to be the real takeaway here.  |
15 | Iowa Hawkeyes | Played PSU close, so they moving into ranked.  |
16 | Miami Hurricanes | Not much to read into here, but they should do well against FSU's kinda bad OLine next week.  |
17 | West Virginia Mountaineers | As long as they do about as well as OkState, then that gives me a decent read on TCU. Otherwise, I'm kinda confused by the B12.  |
18 | Louisville Cardinals | Bounce back with a win over a cupcake. Not much to say here.  |
19 | San Diego State Aztecs | Struggled against Air Force, but they played Michigan kinda hard in the first half. Not dropping SDSU too much for it.  |
20 | Auburn Tigers | Yeah, a win's a win.  |
21 | Washington State Cougars | Again ranking on upside here rather than resume because otherwise they'd be out of the 25, but they always find a way to be competitive in conference and they got a free cupcake this week.  |
22 | Utah Utes | Played and won a hard game against Arizona. Sorry about Huntley.  |
23 | Stanford Cardinal | KJ Costello kinda looks like Kevin Hogan when he had to go in? Kinda scary. UCLA...yeah. They're not a bad win per se, but I feel like this is more a bad match-up for UCLA. Stanford took advantage of UCLA's weaknesses.  |
24 | Duke Blue Devils | Had Cal ranked last week, so putting Duke here instead. They deserve some credit.  |
25 | Minnesota Golden Gophers | Best win is against OSU, and well, we all know that isn't really worth much but no idea who to really put here. |
