Rank	Team	Reason
1	Iowa Hawkeyes	Only team with two top-25 wins to start the season.

3	Georgia Bulldogs
4	Penn State Nittany Lions
5	Alabama Crimson Tide	Haven't played anyone yet, I really should probably have them lower, somewhere in the teens based on that, but they are dominant and the best team in the country.
