Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Fresh off a complete domination of #13 Syracuse, Irish now have wins over 4 ranked teams (Michigan, Syracuse, NW, Pitt) |
2 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Alabama remains undefeated. They have a very good win over LSU and a nice win over Mississippi State.  |
3 | Clemson Tigers | Clemson remains undefeated going not their final game. Lacking in real quality wins. Best win is probable over Syracuse. Also have wins over Boston College and Duke.  |
4 | Georgia Bulldogs | Only loss is to LSU. Have nice wins over Florida and Kentucky.  |
5 | Michigan Wolverines | Only loss is to Notre Dame. Have wins over Penn State and Northwestern. |
6 | Washington State Cougars | Their loss to USC is rough, but that's Washington State's only loss and they have a nice win over Utah. Huge matchup with Washington coming up this week. |
7 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Ohio State hung on to beat Maryland this week. They have one loss to Purdue and have a nice win over Penn State. I don't think this team is all that good, though. They're especially weak on defense. They have a big chance to move up with a game against Michigan this week, though.  |
8 | Oklahoma Sooners | Oklahoma has only 1 loss, but lacks real quality wins. They have defeated Iowa State and Oklahoma state, as well as army.  |
9 | LSU Tigers | LSU has 2 losses, including getting shut out by Alabama. They have a very impressive win over Georgia, though. They also have a nice win over Mississippi State. |
10 | UCF Knights | UCF remains undefeated. Gave a whooping to Cincinnati, but that's probably their best win. Just not a lot of competition.  |
11 | West Virginia Mountaineers | West Virginia lost to Oklahoma State this weekend, but they still are 8-2 and have a nice win over Texas. |
12 | Texas Longhorns | Texas picked up a good win over Iowa State this weekend. They also have a very good win over Oklahoma, making them my top 3 loss team. |
13 | Florida Gators | Florida has 3 losses, but has a couple nice wins over LSU and Mississippi State. |
14 | Kentucky Wildcats | This is probably high for the Wildcats, but teams below them really just lack the resumes to jump them. They have 3 losses, but have a couple nice wins over Florida and Mississippi State.  |
15 | Washington Huskies | Washington has 3 losses, but has a nice win over Utah. |
16 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Penn State has 3 losses. Their best win is probably Wisconsin.  |
17 | Utah Utes | Utah will be playing in the Pac12 championship game, but they lack real quality wins.  |
18 | Syracuse Orange | Syracuse took a beating from Notre Dame this weekend. They have 3 losses and their best win is over North Carolina State.  |
19 | Northwestern Wildcats | Northwestern won the Big Ten West. They have wins over Wisconsin and Iowa.  |
20 | Iowa State Cyclones | Iowa State has 4 losses but has a good win over West Virginia and has a solid win over Oklahoma State.  |
21 | Utah State Aggies | Utah State's only loss was to Michigan State to start the year. Since then, they've won 10 in a row. Big game with Boise state next week.  |
22 | Mississippi State Bulldogs | Mississippi State has 4 losses. Their best win is over Texas A&M.  |
23 | Pittsburgh Panthers | |
24 | Boise State Broncos | |
25 | NC State Wolfpack | NC State only has 3 losses, but they haven't really beaten anyone.  |
