Overall Rationale: NoneI try not to project wins/losses and value what has currently been accomplished by teams. While a team may *look* to be one of the very best, I can only evaluate what their current record is - thus, if it lacks a quality win or a BYE week has allowed others to do more I will rank as such.It is important to note it's only based on what has happened to date. Those who have had an early bye week will get their chance to catch up, and when they do they'll be evaluated as such. Teams won't be artificially ranked highly just because I think they are better. The eye test is a perfectly valid method, but one I do not weigh heavily vs. actual on-field results.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | LSU Tigers | |
2 | Ohio State Buckeyes | |
3 | Alabama Crimson Tide | |
4 | Clemson Tigers | |
5 | Penn State Nittany Lions | |
6 | Oregon Ducks | Oregon is looking sensational right now. They hold a slight edge on UGA through this week, but the Dawgs are in position to jump them with a win over Auburn. |
7 | Georgia Bulldogs | |
8 | Oklahoma Sooners | |
9 | Utah Utes | |
10 | Minnesota Golden Gophers | |
11 | Baylor Bears | |
12 | Florida Gators | Total resume keeps the Gators close to the top 10 in spite of a loss to UGA. They still have opportunities to close the season strong. |
13 | Auburn Tigers | |
14 | Memphis Tigers | |
15 | Wake Forest Demon Deacons | |
16 | SMU Mustangs | SMU didn't plummet after their loss to Memphis, but other teams behind them will be able to jump them with relative ease as long as they win their games. SMU also has more tough games ahead, so I doubt they close the year with only one loss. Even still, just outside of the top 15 this late in the year is a result worth talking about. |
17 | Cincinnati Bearcats | |
18 | Wisconsin Badgers | |
19 | San Diego State Aztecs | |
20 | Louisiana Tech Bulldogs | LaTech isn't getting much respect, but they've quietly put together a solid season. |
21 | Michigan Wolverines | |
22 | Boise State Broncos | |
23 | Navy Midshipmen | |
24 | Kansas State Wildcats | |
25 | Iowa Hawkeyes |
