Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Georgia Bulldogs | |
2 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | |
3 | Ohio State Buckeyes | |
4 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Keeping them as only jumping ISU on eye test. They truly have beaten no one, and would be down toward Wisconsin without an increasingly shitty looking FSU win buoying them in my system as currently designed. Eye test says they should be Number 1, but the three teams ahead have much more impressive wins. |
5 | Iowa State Cyclones | -4. They have two losses (middling), but they also have objectively the two best wins in all of CFB right now. I'm going to say based on resume, they are top 5. |
6 | TCU Horned Frogs | |
7 | Arizona Wildcats | |
8 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | +5 One off week, but this is still a good looking team |
9 | Penn State Nittany Lions | +5 They still look good, and OSU is not a bad loss |
10 | Miami Hurricanes | -4 to be honest, they are failing the eye test week in week out. This team will either drop a game, or be the team that's shut out in this year's playoff. |
11 | UCF Knights | |
12 | LSU Tigers | |
13 | Auburn Tigers | -5 Still not sure what to think of this team because I don't know what to think of Miss St and LSU.... |
14 | USC Trojans | -5 See Auburn, but with the PAC 12 |
15 | Wisconsin Badgers | |
16 | Clemson Tigers | |
17 | NC State Wolfpack | |
18 | Oklahoma Sooners | |
19 | Virginia Tech Hokies | |
20 | Mississippi State Bulldogs | - 5 See Auburn |
21 | Washington State Cougars | |
22 | Stanford Cardinal | |
23 | Boston College Eagles | -2 BC has some decent wins and looks pretty good doing it, but those losses drop them below Wazzu and Stanford |
24 | Syracuse Orange | -5 One more week and they'll be out |
25 | Washington Huskies | +3 The huskies are finally back to where I can move them into the Top 25. They certainly look like a top 25 team, but holy shit that schedule |
