I don't like the SEC West circle-of-self-fulfilling-prophecies but for now at least I think Auburn is justified here, although I could flip them with Wisconsin easily. Curious to see them line up against LSU, Bama, and UGA. They've got a gauntlet of a schedule. |

I talked at length about the ND game, but basically they defied my expectations and were exceptionally well-coached. Very impressed with them. |

I confess I haven't watched Cal this year and will be curious to see them line up against some of the elite talent in the Pac12. |

UVA struggled early against Old Dominion (could have been a look-ahead game with ND on the schedule) but they're 4-0 so... |
| 19 |
Utah Utes
|
|
| 20 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Waiting for unranked Michigan but feels like it would be an overreaction this early... |

UCF Knights

Texas A&M Aggies

I don't think the Aggies are this bad but they have a brutal divisional schedule so it'll be interesting to see how they handle it. Also got UGA in the cross-divisional Wheel of Fuckery. Could easily end the season with 4 losses. |
