Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Clemson Tigers | |
2 | LSU Tigers | Defense is still too suspect to put above Clemson |
3 | Ohio State Buckeyes | |
4 | Georgia Bulldogs | |
5 | Utah Utes | |
6 | Alabama Crimson Tide | |
7 | Oklahoma Sooners | Up 3 |
8 | Penn State Nittany Lions | |
9 | Oregon Ducks | |
10 | Michigan Wolverines | Up 4 |
11 | Minnesota Golden Gophers | Down 4 - Close loss to pretty good Iowa |
12 | Baylor Bears | Up 1 - Blew a huge lead against Oklahoma but they got that quality loss now, other teams looking unimpressive let Baylor rise a spot |
13 | Florida Gators | Down 2 - Other teams just did more this week |
14 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Up 1 |
15 | Auburn Tigers | Down 3 - Another loss to an elite team |
16 | Wisconsin Badgers | |
17 | Iowa Hawkeyes | NR - Best win of the week gives a big rise in the poll |
18 | Virginia Tech Hokies | NR - Blowout win shows this is a different team than the one from earlier in the season |
19 | Texas A&M Aggies | NR - Blowing out bad teams along with good losses means ranked |
20 | Memphis Tigers | Down 3 - Navy getting blown out hurts Memphis as SMU is their only quality win, and SMU hasn't looked good lately |
21 | Boise State Broncos | Up 2 |
22 | SMU Mustangs | Down 3 - BYE week, other teams played games |
23 | Cincinnati Bearcats | Up 1 |
24 | Pittsburgh Panthers | NR |
25 | Appalachian State Mountaineers | NR |
