| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
LSU Tigers
|
While I think Ohio St has been the most impressive team, I can't ignore LSU's resume. Who should be in the clear until the SECCG. |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Ohio St to me have been the most impressive team and keep pummeling everyone. My computer poll already has them at a rating equivalent to where Clemson finished last year. Still, I have to knock them down due to their schedule for now.  |
| 3 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Giving Clemson the benefit of the doubt as they keep pummeling everyone since the UNC game. |
| 4 |
Minnesota Golden Gophers
|
I thought Minnesota would make things interesting and they pulled it off. Having that signature top 4 win is good enough to move into my top 4. As long as they don't slip up @ Iowa they're on fast track to the Big Ten title game.  |
| 5 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Best one loss team imo. Just have a hard time giving a team a top 4 spot if they aren't leading their division right now. Enough chaos and that can change.  |
| 6 |
Oregon Ducks

| 7 |
Georgia Bulldogs

| 8 |
Utah Utes

|
| 9 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 10 |
Baylor Bears
|
While Baylor has solid wins (K-St, Ok-St), still waiting for that signature win to vault them over the quality 1 loss teams. Think if they beat Oklahoma that would qualify... |
