| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Clemson Tigers
|
As long as they win out convincingly, they should be the favorite to win it all |
| 2 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
|
| 3 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
|
| 4 |
Florida Gators
|
|
| 5 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
|
| 6 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Potential top-5 team, but needs to play before I place them higher |
| 7 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Offense is looking great, I think they might play Clemson pretty close next week.  |
| 8 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 9 |
North Carolina Tar Heels
|
Looked meh last week, but still no reason to drop them out of the top-10 yet. |
| 10 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
They are now the favorite to win the conference, offense and defense looked great this weekend. They control their own fate to the championship now.  |
| 11 |
Cincinnati Bearcats
|
|
| 12 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
|
| 13 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Oregon lost a lot of production is in a very tough position. With only 7 games they're going to have a very hard time making a case for the playoffs but I think they're the most capable of doing so from the PAC12. |
| 14 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
|
| 15 |
BYU Cougars
|
They look very solid, they just need to player tougher teams before I would rank them higher than 15.  |
| 16 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
|
| 17 |
Auburn Tigers
|
I was very skeptical of this team and Saturday showed that they may not be the same team from last year, they are still solid, I just wouldn't expect them to be a contender.  |
| 18 |
SMU Mustangs
|
Looked great this weekend and may be able to challenge Cincinnati for the championship.  |
| 19 |
LSU Tigers
|
Looked much better from last weekend, I still think they have a lot of issues and will not be a contender in the SEC this year.  |
| 20 |
Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns
|
This team is just so special, even if they're close games, bad teams cannot win all of those like they have. I fully expect them to win the conference and potentially find an NY6 bid.  |
| 21 |
Virginia Tech Hokies
|
So far, so good. They have a very high ceiling but it is a tough path for them.  |
| 22 |
UCF Knights
|
Big hiccup this weekend, still a very good team, will really have to work to make it to the championship game.  |
| 23 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
I have no idea what this team is 3 games in. With that being said, they are tied for first and could potentially make a run for a championship spot. There are some very important games coming up for this team. If Purdy fixes his issues this offense could become very tough to stop.  |
| 24 |
Minnesota Golden Gophers
|
|
| 25 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
Was torn between giving this spot to TCU or Kansas State. I decided to add TCU because I believe they could have won last week against ISU and Arkansas State's record is really hurting K-State.  |
