Rank	Team	Reason
1	Alabama Crimson Tide	Top 4 is pretty clear cut at this point.  Not sure about whether ND or Clemson is better.
2	Ohio State Buckeyes
3	Notre Dame Fighting Irish
4	Clemson Tigers
5	Michigan Wolverines	Sigh.  LSU lost to Florida, UofM lost to ND who remains undefeated.  Both losses on the road, Michigan's was opening weekend.  I'd have to take UofM in a neutral site head-to-head.
6	LSU Tigers
7	UCF Knights
8	Georgia Bulldogs
9	Florida Gators
10	Texas Longhorns	Sorry Texas, I have not been impressed with much out of the Big 12 this season.
11	Oregon Ducks	Justin Herbert is going to throw for 3500 yards.  Quack Quack.  Big test against WSU this weekend.
12	Iowa Hawkeyes	Indiana and Minnesota are both above average teams and Iowa hung 40 on each of them.  When has Iowa ever hung 40 on decent teams?  This may be the B1G West champ, Wisconsin's a paper tiger and will lose the axe to MN.
13	Oklahoma Sooners
14	Texas A&M Aggies	Best two loss team in the country, hands down.
15	Kentucky Wildcats	Not as solid as I thought, if they split against GA and Tennessee I will be impressed.  Pretty soft schedule outside of those two games.
16	West Virginia Mountaineers
17	Washington Huskies
18	Utah State Aggies	This is not just a tricky offense, that point differential is off the charts.
19	Michigan State Spartans
20	Penn State Nittany Lions	Make Trace throw the ball and PSU loses.
21	NC State Wolfpack
22	Stanford Cardinal
23	Wisconsin Badgers	 Best O line in the country.  That's about it.
24	Washington State Cougars
25	Cincinnati Bearcats
