| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Only team w/ 3 P5 wins. They haven't been in danger of losing |
| 2 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
South Carolina was their hardest game yet and there was no fear of losing |
| 3 |
LSU Tigers
|
Win over Texas remains best win of anyone this year |
| 4 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Pretty equally matched to Georgia and Oklahoma, but have played a slightly harder schedule |
| 5 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Their opponents are combined 2-6 this season. Hard to make any judgments at this point. |
| 6 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Their opponents are combined 1-8 this season. Hard to make any judgments at this point. |
| 7 |
Auburn Tigers
|
I don't know if they really belong at 7, but their Oregon win remains one of the best of the season |
| 8 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
Did not play, but no other team has matched their dominance (even if it was USF and CMU) |
| 9 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Looked pretty good against NM, we will see how good they really are against Georgia |
| 10 |
Utah Utes
|
Win over BYU is looking better each week |
| 11 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
The most impressive thing they’ve done this season was only losing to Clemson by two touchdowns. Auburn game will reveal how good they really are |
| 12 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Did not play. Have opportunity to land in top 10 with win over Wisconsin |
| 13 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Outside of the Auburn loss Oregon has destroyed their competion. I'm expecting them to probably only lose 1 game in conference in the regular season and it will probably a fluke |
| 14 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Losing to LSU is their best game thus far. A win over Ok St this weekend could impress |
| 15 |
UCF Knights
|
Stanford is by no means a bad P5 team and UCF made them look bad |
| 16 |
Boise State Broncos
|
Handled their opponent easily |
| 17 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
Beat a top 30 Iowa State team. Game was pretty close though |
| 18 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Barely beat Pitt. Not a great showing |
| 19 |
Florida Gators
|
Should have probably lost to Kentucky. Could easily be 1-2 right now, but are 3-0. Florida is probably going to fluke their way to a 10 win season where they almost lose to a bunch of bad teams. |
| 20 |
Memphis Tigers
|
Beat their opponent handily |
| 21 |
Washington State Cougars
|
Beat Houston in a close game. Probably their best win this season still |
| 22 |
California Golden Bears
|
Really didn't look all that great this week, but enough teams in front of them looked bad for them to be ranked |
| 23 |
Arizona State Sun Devils
|
They are just barely beating everyone, but they are winning |
| 24 |
Washington Huskies
|
Impressive win over Hawaii, don't feel like I can put them in front of Cal at the moment though |
| 25 |
North Dakota State Bison
|
I couldn't come up with 25 FBS teams that actually deserve to be ranked and NDSU hasn't lost a game since November 2017 so they get in this week. The next 5 are K-State, Virginia, Army, TCU, and Oklahoma State and I don't think any of those teams would beat NDSU except maybe Kansas State with NDSU's former coach. |
