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. |
