Overall Rationale: If you pad your schedule with a bunch of crappy teams, you will be punished.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Stanford Cardinal | Beat good G5 and P5 teams at home. |
2 | LSU Tigers | Pummeled a good P5 team on neutral field and an FCS team. |
3 | Clemson Tigers | Excellent win over what might a good P5 on the road in very tough environment and an FCS team at home. |
4 | Auburn Tigers | A win over a good P5 team  on a more or less neutral field and an FCS team. |
5 | Colorado Buffaloes | Win over a maybe decent G5 team on neutral site and squeaked by a decent P5 team on the road. |
6 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Wins over a decent P5 and and G5 at home. Score 24 points a game, at least consistent. |
7 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Killed two really bad P5 teams at home. |
8 | Maryland Terrapins | Win over a probably bad P5 at home and  walloped a G5 on the road. |
9 | Duke Blue Devils | Two convincing wins against a decent Indie team and a decent P5 on the road. Will probably do the most Duke thing ever and get a couple more wins and then make me look like an ass when they get destroyed in the latter half of the schedule. |

11 | Cincinnati Bearcats | Beat a possibly really bad UCLA P5 on the road and a G5 on a neutral site. |
