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 | Georgia Bulldogs | Clemson may have retained No. 3 if it were not for UGA playing A&M. Yes, Clemson is undefeated but UGA just matched their best win with the victory over the Aggies and also have wins over Auburn and Florida. The wins supersede the loss when matched up vs. Clemson.In the end, it won't matter. the SEC Championship game vs. LSU will be the determining factor of if they stay ahead of Clemson or drop out of the top 4. |
4 | Clemson Tigers | |
5 | Oklahoma Sooners | The Sooners were the big winners of the weekend. The pieces to get back into the CFP played out nicely for them and just need LSU to win out as they virtually control their own destiny at this juncture. |
6 | Alabama Crimson Tide | |
7 | Utah Utes | Utah has a chance to jump Oklahoma, but I'm not sure they can jump OU now that Oregon lost. |
8 | Florida Gators | |
9 | Minnesota Golden Gophers | |
10 | Baylor Bears | |
11 | Penn State Nittany Lions | |
12 | Cincinnati Bearcats | If the Bearcats win out, it'd be hard not to have them end up at the #10 spot. Would be a remarkable season for Luke Fickell. |
13 | Oregon Ducks | |
14 | Wisconsin Badgers | |
15 | Michigan Wolverines | |
16 | Memphis Tigers | |
17 | Boise State Broncos | |
18 | Auburn Tigers | |
19 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | |
20 | Appalachian State Mountaineers | |
21 | Iowa Hawkeyes | |
22 | Air Force Falcons | |
23 | Virginia Cavaliers | |
24 | Virginia Tech Hokies | |
25 | Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns |
