Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | LSU Tigers | Add a nice win over Auburn to wins over Florida and Texas (less good now but still for the third most impressive win on your resume thats legit)  |
2 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Penn State put a hurting on Wisconsin. Also have a nice win over Cincy.  |
3 | Baylor Bears | Best win is Kansas State (5-2, defeated Oklahoma). Also have a win over Iowa State. |
4 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Penn State's win over Michigan looks better this week. Next best win is Pitt (5-3) |
5 | Clemson Tigers | Clemson is blowing people out again, but their best win is over Texas A&M.  |
6 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Like Clemson, best win is over Texas A&M. Plenty of time to move to the top though with games against LSU and Auburn still on the schedule.  |
7 | Florida Gators | Only loss is a tough one on the road at LSU. nice win over Auburn.  |
8 | Oregon Ducks | Oregon's only loss is to Auburn, that's not bad. The Pac12 beating itself up has really knocked away the quality of their wins though. Best win is probably Washington (5-3).  |
9 | SMU Mustangs | SMU is tricky to rank. Playing in the American, their schedule isn't awesome. However, they're undefeated and do have a nice win over TCU, who just beat Texas. Texas is Oklahoma's best win. I'm putting SMU one spot above Oklahoma |
10 | Oklahoma Sooners | Only loss is to Kansas State. Best win is over Texas.  |
11 | Utah Utes | Utah's only loss is to USC. Their best win is probably Arizona State (5-3).  |
12 | Georgia Bulldogs | Bad loss to South Carolina. Best win is over Notre Dame. |
13 | Auburn Tigers | Auburn is my top 2 loss team right now thanks to their win over Oregon. Kansas st has a similarly impressive win defeating Oklahoma, but Auburn's losses are to LSU and Florida, which I think are better teams than Ok St and Baylor.  |
14 | Kansas State Wildcats | 5-2 with a win over Oklahoma. Had to compare Kansas State to other 2 loss teams (Wisconsin, Michigan) and that Oklahoma win feels like the difference maker.  |
15 | Minnesota Golden Gophers | So Minnesota is undefeated, but their best win is probably over 4-4 Nebraska. That or Illinois. Not super impressive. Theyre hard to rank. They play Penn State next, so we'll know what they've got. Either they'll shoot to the top or they'll drop quite a bit with that one.  |
16 | Wisconsin Badgers | Tough to rank the badgers right now. Coming off a terrible terrible loss to Illinois and a blowout from Ohio State. I'm keeping the badgers above Michigan thanks to the beatdown they gave the Wolverines earlier in the year. |
17 | Michigan Wolverines | Michigan just put a beatdown on Notre Dame. Looked like a different team than they did earlier this year. We'll see if that lasts. Still play Ohio State and that game could skyrocket them in my poll.  |
18 | Cincinnati Bearcats | Cincinnati's only loss is to Ohio State. They also have a nice win over UCF.  |
19 | Memphis Tigers | Memphis has a tough loss on the road to Temple, but they have a really nice win over Navy.  |
20 | Navy Midshipmen | Navy's only loss is to Memphis. They have wins over Air Force (6-2) and Tulane.  |
21 | Boise State Broncos | Boise State's only loss is to BYU. They have a nice win over Air Force (6-2) and also beat FSU.  |
22 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Notre Dame is 6-2 with losses to Georgia and a blowout loss to Michigan. Best wins are USC(5-3), Virginia (5-3), and Louisville (5-3)  |
23 | Iowa Hawkeyes | Iowa is 6-2 with losses to Penn State and Michigan. Their best win is over Iowa State.  |
24 | Wake Forest Demon Deacons | Wake Forest's only loss is to Louisville, but they lack an impressive win.  |
25 | USC Trojans | USC is my first 3 loss team. I compared them with Texas, Texas AM, and Virginia. The difference maker for me is that USC has a real quality win over Utah.  |
