| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Alabama has scored 125 points and only allowed 3 points in the past two weeks. They keep the Top Spot in the poll. |
| 2 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Clemson has had a better showing these past two weeks than Oklahoma has, so they move into the #2 spot in my poll. |
| 3 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
The Sooners had a weak showing last week and didn't play this week, and with Clemson putting on better showings these past two weeks Oklahoma moves down a spot. |
| 4 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Penn State is firmly in the top spot in the Big Ten, and solid play against Indiana keeps them at #4. |
| 5 |
Washington Huskies
|
With USC falling to Wazzu on Friday, the Huskies take the Top Spot in the Pac-12 and move up to #5. |
| 6 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
Down goes USC, up goes Wisconsin. |
| 7 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Shutting out Tennessee and consistent strong performance moves Georgia up to #7 for me.  |
| 8 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Shutting out Rutgers is no great thing, so the Buckeyes remain at #8.  |
| 9 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
TCU breaks into the Top 10 just in time for their GameDay match against West Virginia.  |
| 10 |
USC Trojans
|
They kept it close against a strong Cougars team, so USC manages to stay in the Top 10.  |
| 11 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Michigan is playing consistently, but for now they still remain just outside my Top 10.  |
| 12 |
West Virginia Mountaineers
|
West Virginia is highly underrated, both by the AP and r/CFB. Their game against the Horned Frogs will be competitive, and a win will put them in my Top 10.  |
| 13 |
Washington State Cougars
|
Washington State hasn't started this hot since 2001, and if they keep this up they may very well end up in the Top 10 in a week or two.  |
| 14 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
The Cowboys are still in the race for the Big 12 Championship, but their chance at the Playoffs got a little bit slimmer last week. |
| 15 |
Auburn Tigers
|
I don't know what to think about this Auburn team. That is all.  |
| 16 |
NC State Wolfpack
|
NC State is off to a solid start, so they are now in the Top 16. |
| 17 |
Utah Utes
|
The Utes haven't had the easiest 4-0 start, but none-the-less they are currently undefeated. |
| 18 |
Florida Gators
|
Florida wins again, and keeps the rest of us wondering when they will stop getting away with it.  |
| 19 |
San Diego State Aztecs
|
From my perspective, SDSU seems to be the strongest G5 team right now and is my leading candidate for the NY6 slot.  |
| 20 |
USF Bulls
|
USF may be undefeated, but they have yet to play any strong team.  |
| 21 |
Navy Midshipmen
|
Navy appears to be flying under the radar this year, but I think they are a contender for the NY6 slot.  |
| 22 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
The Irish have started off 4-1, and their performance thus far has justified their entry to the Top 25 for me. |
| 23 |
UCF Knights
|
UCF is also competition for the best team in the American Conference, and also is in contention for the NY6 slot.  |
| 24 |
Toledo Rockets
|
Toledo is the best team in the MAC, and is a Dark Horse candidate for the NY6 slot.  |
| 25 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
I'm still wary of Miami, but their upcoming game against FSU will decide if they stick around the Top 25 for longer. |
