• Analysis

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Alabama Crimson Tide	League of their own
2	Georgia Bulldogs	OU struggled. In my view, winner of CLEM-UGA would be #2
3	Ohio State Buckeyes	Minnesota should've been ranked pre-season.
4	Oklahoma Sooners	Tulane fought hard. Defense is super worrisome for RRS when Bijan can carve up the ground and through the air, or Brock Purdy and Breece Hall doing damage
5	Texas A&M Aggies	Ugly blowout win somehow
6	Notre Dame Fighting Irish
7	Cincinnati Bearcats
8	Iowa State Cyclones
9	Clemson Tigers
10	Florida Gators
11	Iowa Hawkeyes	Impressive win over Penix and IU. El Assico will be 
12	Penn State Nittany Lions	Impressive road win in a defensive struggle
13	USC Trojans	Nice win going away. USC could stun people
14	Oregon Ducks	Tough win, but a win is a win
15	Texas Longhorns	I may be biased, but with many teams struggling, Texas looked well coached against a ranked opponent and Sark passed with flying colors in his first game at UT where Herman floundered. OL and secondary were weak spots. Card played well, Bijan played the part and DL were great. Special teams outside of Dicker missing was good. Methodical win
16	Coastal Carolina Chanticleers
17	Wisconsin Badgers	Jim Leonhard will have the defense ready to play all the time but offense was shooting themselves in the foot. Mertz struggling frankly makes me miss Hornibrook and then Coan having a ball in Tallahassee hurts even more. Also the OL is typically good but was a turnstile 
18	UCLA Bruins
19	Arizona State Sun Devils
20	Virginia Tech Hokies
21	Utah Utes
22	North Carolina Tar Heels	Howell was rattled but he will bounce back in my opinion
23	Ole Miss Rebels	With the chaos of Week 1, Ole Miss from the outset looked strong. 
24	Michigan Wolverines
25	Auburn Tigers
