Maybe a tad high, but they won @MSU by 20 and lost to UGA by one point. Much better resume than Wisconsin/Ohio State, and about on par with USC's bizarre body of work.  |
| 7 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
Only above USC because I value being undefeated, but ND has a significantly better win and ND's loss is about as quality as it gets.  |
| 8 |
USC Trojans
|
I officially have no clue about the P12. Losing a close game in Pullman on a Friday is acceptable all things considered, even if Wazzu's loss to Cal yanked them out of my 25 entirely.  |
| 9 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
|
| 10 |
UCF Knights
|
Best G5 team by far now that SDSU lost and really should be a Playoff dark horse. Team I'm highest on compared to the consensus besides Stanford. Stomped Maryland in College Park when Maryland still had one backup QB and destroyed a pretty darn good Memphis team |
| 11 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
|
| 12 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
|
| 13 |
Stanford Cardinal
|
After the early season ugliness, they've found their stride. I think they could compete with the top 10 at this point, and would certainly beat Oklahoma/tOSU, but two losses means I can't give them that honor quite yet.  |
| 14 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Their body of work is still top 7 worthy with the way this season has gone but I'm hedging due to the Bryant injury.  |
| 15 |
Virginia Tech Hokies
|
|
| 16 |
Michigan State Spartans
|
|
| 17 |
Washington Huskies
|
|
| 18 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
O'Korn sucks. Best win might be @Purdue. I saw Michigan fans complaining about being dropped excessively after losing in a monsoon to MSU but I have a hard time believing that Michigan could compete with any of the teams above them on this list.  |
