• Ballot
• Analysis

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Ohio State Buckeyes
2	LSU Tigers	Never thought I'd say it but LSU's defense has me very worried. Giving up a ton of yards and points, and while their offense is certainly clicking along I feel like LSU is the new Oklahoma
3	Alabama Crimson Tide
4	Clemson Tigers
5	Oklahoma Sooners	What a weird game, certainly should have been a much bigger blow out but mistakes from play calling to Jalen trying to play hero ball kept Texas in the game. But how about that defense? 9 sacks! this is what everyone has been waiting for.
6	Wisconsin Badgers
7	Notre Dame Fighting Irish
8	Oregon Ducks	I know I'll catch flack but this Oregon team looks miles better than the one that showed up in Week 1. PAC 12s hopes seem to be in good hands for a possible playoff scenario
9	Georgia Bulldogs	this was a really difficult one to rank, Georgia lost at home to a team hoping for bowl eligibility without their starting QB or best skill guy either. UGA can certainly climb the ladder back to top 4 but that was ugly
10	Penn State Nittany Lions	never an easy game @Iowa but they toughed it out for a big win and spot in my top 10
11	Florida Gators
12	Auburn Tigers
13	Boise State Broncos
14	Utah Utes
15	Michigan Wolverines
16	SMU Mustangs
17	Texas Longhorns	lucky that they only lost by 7, should've been much much more and were never really in the game, defense is 112th behind Kansas and Rutgers!
18	Baylor Bears
19	Appalachian State Mountaineers
20	Minnesota Golden Gophers
21	Tulane Green Wave	a little ashamed I didn't have them ranked last week
22	Cincinnati Bearcats
23	Arizona State Sun Devils
24	Temple Owls
25	Iowa State Cyclones
