| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Team that doesn't give me a reason to doubt them. |
| 2 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
No great win yet, but has looked very solid against all teams. Face first somewhat strong opponent this week against Michigan. I personally don't expect Penn State to have any difficulty.  |
| 3 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
Best win of the season so far against Oklahoma State. |
| 4 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Still not COMPLETELY sold... but they are more convincing than other undefeated teams I've ranked below them.  |
| 5 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Lost to a 3-3 Syracuse team, but they, they still have good wins, which is better than can be said of Ohio State at this point in the season.  |
| 6 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
|
| 7 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
|
| 8 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
I have low confidence in both Wisconsin in Miami, but they are undefeated so far, which counts for something.  |
| 9 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
|
| 10 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
|
| 11 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Dominant win @ MSU looking better and better.  |
