| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
It's Alabama and they look as good as ever. |
| 2 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Looks like the best team in the ACC and it's not even close. |
| 3 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Haha, a UGA-Bama national title game again is possible. |
| 4 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Very impressed with Kyler Murray, but their defense had a hard time with ISU and that WR. |
| 5 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Won a game against a tough team, and now Urban is pack. |
| 6 |
LSU Tigers
|
I wasn't sold on Coach O's Tigahs but that's a solid win. |
| 7 |
Stanford Cardinal
|
They do the same thing every year, and people still can't stop it. They've got an excellent WR to pair with Love and an improved QB. |
| 8 |
Virginia Tech Hokies
|
We don't know much about them, because that FSU win looks less impressive every week. |
| 9 |
West Virginia Mountaineers
|
That passing attack in the defense optional Big-12 will be interesting. |
| 10 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Looking like Ohio State's biggest Big-10 competition. |
| 11 |
UCF Knights
|
I would have liked to see them play a poor P-5 team, but hurricanes robbed us of that. |
| 12 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Struggled against two sub par teams, so I'm not sold on their offense quite yet. |
| 13 |
Auburn Tigers
|
Our first one loss team. One of the toughest schedules in the country. |
| 14 |
Washington Huskies
|
Tried their best to lose to Utah, who tried even harder to not win. How do you fumble the ball off your belly on the way to a TD? How?  |
| 15 |
Mississippi State Bulldogs
|
Looking like Moorhead was one of the better coaching hires of the year. |
| 16 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
Impressive win, Mike Gundy has a consistent thing going. |
| 17 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
My first real conundrum. I had Wisconsin as the #2 team all year, and then they go and lose to BYU at home. I still think they're the best in their division. |
| 18 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
Gave tOSU a game, I have a feeling they might be a Big-12 contender. |
| 19 |
Oregon Ducks
|
The real question for Oregon appears to be: Can the stout run defense make up for the lack of skill players? <<< Never thought you'd see that sentence, eh? |
| 20 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
The defense is solid, and if Shea Patterson keeps improving who knows. |
| 21 |
California Golden Bears
|
A win over a bad P-5 and BYU makes for a better resume than a lot of teams ahead of them have.  |
| 22 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
Keeping them here, maybe it's a break through season for UK. |
| 23 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
I'm putting them back into the top-25, the ACC looks weaker than weaker than I thought. |
| 24 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
3-0 and a chance to move-up with a big game this week. |
| 25 |
Boston College Eagles
|
I considered Washington State, Texas A&M, Colorado and BYU for this spot, but I'll give the nod to BC for now. |
