Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Who else deserves this spot?   |
2 | Georgia Bulldogs | That win against ND keeps looking better and that smack down on Florida last week cemented their place again as #2 in my poll. |
3 | Wisconsin Badgers | 8-0 is 8-0, regardless of how mediocre their schedule is.   |
4 | Miami Hurricanes | 7-0 is 7-0, regardless of how they have just squeeked out wins.   |
5 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | They moved up in the poll due to the absolute beatdown they gave WVU and Penn state and TCU lost.  I'm not a fan of ranking teams ahead of their head 2 head, but in this situation I think OSU deserves to be sitting at #5. |
6 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Good win with NCSU and the only loss being to #2 in my poll.  They move up 3 places from last week. |
7 | Oklahoma Sooners | Even though Oklahoma dismantled TTU, they have no moved in my poll.  I think OSU and NDs wins this week are better.  Oklahoma vs Ok State is going to be a good game but I think OSU is the better team this year. |
8 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Fantastic comeback win over PSU this weekend.  I've been hard on the buckeyes due to their weak schedule, but if they win out, they will have the schedule and potentially good loss early in the season to Oklahoma.  +3 from last week |
9 | Penn State Nittany Lions | I cant rank them above Ohio State, but I do think they are close in ranking currently.  -5 from last week. |
10 | UCF Knights | Its about time UCF starts to get a little respect.  I think they are currently a top 10 team.  +4 from last week. |
11 | TCU Horned Frogs | Their loss to ISU hurts but I was skeptical of how good TCU is.  Not a top 10 team anymore.  -7 from last week |
12 | Clemson Tigers | That loss to Syracuse really hurts Clemson, but that win against GT will earn them 0 spots.  They remain at #12 like last week. |
13 | Virginia Tech Hokies | Even with their win against Duke, I still dont believe they are a better team than Clemson.  VT remains at 13 for a net move of 0 from last week. |
14 | Washington Huskies | The first Pac12 I will rank.  Their loss to ASU is still weird IMO and even with their win over UCLA, they only +2 from last week. |
15 | NC State Wolfpack | NC State was only down by 7 going into half, yet somehow happened to get shut out.  At least their win was the ND so they dont fall as much as other teams.  -5 from last week. |
16 | Memphis Tigers | Memphis continues to cruise.  They jump quite a bit due to everyone else around them losing.  +6 Jump from last week. |
17 | Auburn Tigers | |
18 | Iowa State Cyclones | I didnt rank ISU last week, but they deserve it after beatin TCU.   |
19 | USC Trojans | I'm not sold on USC after the ass whoopin they took from ND, but they did destory poor ol ASU who just recently beat up on Washington....Fucking Pac12 is weird... |
20 | Mississippi State Bulldogs | Only losses to Alabama and Georgia, and they were not blow outs?  I think top 20 is a decent ranking to start this week with.   |
21 | Toledo Rockets | |
22 | Arizona Wildcats | Not a fan of RR, but i'm a fan of winning 4 straight against some decent Pac12 opponents.   |
23 | James Madison Dukes | For an FCS team, JMU is looking like a bowl worthy FBS opponent.  8-0 is fantastic, but their defense has been good.  Really good. |
24 | North Dakota State Bison | Sitting right behind JMU in the FCS rankings and I mean 8-0 is 8-0.  That deserves a little credit.   |
25 | USF Bulls | Nothing really to say except USF has disappointed me.  -10 from last week. |
