Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Alabama Crimson Tide | |
2 | Georgia Bulldogs | |
3 | TCU Horned Frogs | |
4 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | +3: ND may be actually really good, they certainly look it, and that UGA loss keeps looking better. |
5 | Miami Hurricanes | |
6 | Ohio State Buckeyes | |
7 | Penn State Nittany Lions | |
8 | UCF Knights | |
9 | Auburn Tigers | -5: They keep winning, and though Miss St appears to be a quality win again, the SEC west is very muddled with the early season rankings |
10 | Iowa State Cyclones | -4: Big fan of what Iowa State is doing, but they are quite top 10 yet, only tenth bc I'm also not sure what to do with LSU |
11 | LSU Tigers | -5: No idea what to think of this team, but my system likes their wins |
12 | Clemson Tigers | |
13 | NC State Wolfpack | |
14 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | +5: They are clearly better than what we saw against Texas, and that TCU loss does not look that bad anymore |
15 | Michigan State Spartans | |
16 | Arizona Wildcats | -5: They may have figured out this whole football thing, Khalil is the real deal |
17 | Arizona State Sun Devils | |
18 | Oklahoma Sooners | +5: Maybe that ISU loss wasn't so bad after all |
19 | Washington State Cougars | |
20 | Wisconsin Badgers | |
21 | Syracuse Orange | -5: This feels more right, they dropped a few bad ones, but they are looking to be a more complete football team than we thought. |
22 | Stanford Cardinal | |
23 | Virginia Tech Hokies | +4: my system does not like the Hokies. They keep winning, but not by enough to be impressive |
24 | Mississippi State Bulldogs | -2: Maybe they weren't so bad? The SECW is just so weird outside of Bama |
25 | USC Trojans | -2: big tie toward the end of the standings, giving USC the 25th spot, bc ND may just be that good |
