Overall Rationale: No 4 loss teams ranked (yet).
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
The dismantling of LSU is proof enough. |
| 2 |
Clemson Tigers
|
I wasn't impressed with them earlier in the season but as of now, they are one of few teams that I think stays within 4 scores vs Bama |
| 3 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
This Michigan team is impressive. They are on the short list of teams that could at least make a game v Bama interesting to watch (for a bit). |
| 4 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Although they beat Michigan to start the season, I don't know if they would beat them today. Competitive and good but I don't think that they are tier 1b.  |
| 5 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
 The Bulldogs have worked their way back after losing to LSU by destroying Florida and Kentucky. |
| 6 |
LSU Tigers
|
Honestly losing 29-0 to Bama didn't really hurt my view of LSU that much. They fell from 4 to 6. |
| 7 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
While I think the Sooners are great, they blew their only shot so far at proving they are. That match up vs West Virginia is going to be huge. |
| 8 |
UCF Knights
|
Demolishing Pitt earlier in the season is looking good but there still hasn't been a statement game from the reigning champs. The game v Cincy is likely their only ranked v ranked match up of the season. |
| 9 |
West Virginia Mountaineers
|
Great close win over Texas. Other than the loss @ Iowa State, this is exactly what you would expect of a top 10 team.  |
| 10 |
Washington State Cougars
|
If it wasn't for the Pac 12's interference, this would be an undefeated team with a solid shot at the playoff, now they feel like a long shot but only one big obstacle remains. |
| 11 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
I think Urban is looking for an excuse to step down right about now. |
| 12 |
Utah State Aggies
|
Average half time score for the Aggies this season is 30-8. The second string has allowed a lot of points to hurt the Aggies image, but this team is goooooood. |
| 13 |
Texas Longhorns
|
All 3 losses are within 7 points and 2 of the 3 are on the road. This team is goo but they aren't quite back yet. |
| 14 |
Mississippi State Bulldogs
|
|
| 15 |
Fresno State Bulldogs
|
|
| 16 |
Boston College Eagles
|
|
| 17 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 18 |
Syracuse Orange
|
|
| 19 |
Washington Huskies
|
|
| 20 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
|
| 21 |
NC State Wolfpack
|
|
| 22 |
Utah Utes
|
I expect NOOOOOvember to get worse with the loss of huntley. That Tuttle transfer is really hurting now. |
| 23 |
Florida Gators
|
|
| 24 |
Auburn Tigers
|
|
| 25 |
Cincinnati Bearcats
|
