Rank	Team	Reason
1	Georgia Bulldogs	ND win looks better, and Florida was a decent defense, but Georgia ran all over them.
2	Alabama Crimson Tide	They still haven't played anyone good, but they are crushing everyone they play - with both their first and second teams.
3	Ohio State Buckeyes	They have the best win of the season (Penn State) and their loss is to a very talented team. They've looked good since their loss.
4	Notre Dame Fighting Irish	Loos to my current #1, solid wins. Their schedule stiffens up quite a bit over the next two weeks.
5	Penn State Nittany Lions
6	Clemson Tigers	With Kelly Bryant, they're a legitimate title contender. With an injured Bryant/without him, they aren't. Defense seems to have woken up though.
7	Wisconsin Badgers
8	Miami Hurricanes	Their first really good opponent of the season is this week. Will they prove themselves?
9	TCU Horned Frogs
10	Oklahoma Sooners
11	Virginia Tech Hokies
12	Oklahoma State Cowboys
13	UCF Knights
14	Washington Huskies
15	Iowa State Cyclones	This team is for real. Still have 2 losses, but they've got 2 really good wins.
16	Auburn Tigers
17	Stanford Cardinal
18	LSU Tigers
19	Mississippi State Bulldogs	Head to head they beat LSU, but LSU has had the more successful season to this point.
20	Memphis Tigers
21	NC State Wolfpack
22	Michigan State Spartans
23	Michigan Wolverines
24	Boise State Broncos
25	USC Trojans
