• Ballot
• Analysis

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Alabama Crimson Tide	Definitely still more impressed by Bama than Georgia.
2	Oklahoma Sooners	Deserving of a big boost after this weekend.
3	Miami Hurricanes	Well that was an absolutely beatdown.  Miami might be for real.
4	Wisconsin Badgers	Consistency against good teams is key, and Wisconsin is starting to show that.
5	Clemson Tigers	Legitimacy of their wins continues to deteriorate.  At least they have Auburn.
6	Auburn Tigers	Easily the best 2-loss team in the country now
7	Georgia Bulldogs	Georgia's credibility is pretty damaged now
8	Notre Dame Fighting Irish	Well that certainly happened
9	Ohio State Buckeyes	Well, someone's still playing for a championship in the East.
10	Oklahoma State Cowboys	On an upswing, but Ohio State's dominating win qualifies them for a jump
11	UCF Knights	Not sure how much higher I can rank them.  There is a very really ceiling, unless they ball out the last few weeks.
12	TCU Horned Frogs	Trending down in a big way
13	Penn State Nittany Lions	They've beaten no one this year
14	USC Trojans	Stanford win gets a slight boost, but ND loss gets knocked heavily
15	Memphis Tigers	Their fate is anchored to UCF
16	Washington State Cougars
17	Washington Huskies
18	Mississippi State Bulldogs
19	Michigan Wolverines
20	Stanford Cardinal
21	Michigan State Spartans
22	West Virginia Mountaineers
23	Northwestern Wildcats
24	Iowa State Cyclones
25	USF Bulls
