• Analysis

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Alabama Crimson Tide
2	Ohio State Buckeyes
3	Georgia Bulldogs	Finally getting a true test next week.
4	Notre Dame Fighting Irish	It pains me to put them this high with their early struggles but they look like a true championship contending team with their new QB situation.
5	UCF Knights
6	Clemson Tigers
7	West Virginia Mountaineers
8	Penn State Nittany Lions
9	Michigan Wolverines
10	Colorado Buffaloes
11	Oregon Ducks
12	Kentucky Wildcats	This is a wonderful chain of transitive wins that Kentucky sits atop.
13	Florida Gators
14	LSU Tigers
15	Miami Hurricanes
16	Cincinnati Bearcats
17	Washington Huskies	Turns out Auburn might not actually be that good...
18	NC State Wolfpack
19	USF Bulls
20	Texas Longhorns	I'm not convinced that anyone in the Big 12 is actually good this year. Also, fuck texas.
21	Oklahoma Sooners
22	Utah State Aggies	I considered ranking both Aggies, but these guys have earned it more at this point.
23	Wisconsin Badgers
24	Duke Blue Devils
25	Washington State Cougars
