17 | Mississippi State Bulldogs | I'm bringing Mississippi State in here at 5-3. I actually struggled with where to place them. Should they be above teams like Ole Miss or Kentucky? Below? They have losses to Memphis and LSU, and also a blowout loss to Alabama, but then they also have really nice wins over Texas A&M (6-2), Kentucky (6-2), and NC State (6-2) |
18 | UTSA Roadrunners | UTSA is undefeated but lacks quality wins. They're hard to rank.  |
19 | Minnesota Golden Gophers | Minnesota is 6-2. Losses to Ohio State and Bowling Green. BG loss really stings as this team could be looking very good without that. Best wins are over Maryland (5-3) and Purdue (5-3)  |
20 | San Diego State Aztecs | San Diego State is 7-1. They finally dropped a game to Fresno State. They have some nice wins over Utah (5-3) and Air Force (6-2) |

22 | Iowa Hawkeyes | Iowa is on the verge of slipping out of my rankings as it looks like teams have figured them out. They are still 6-2 though with a nice win over Penn State.  |
23 | Kentucky Wildcats | Kentucky is 6-2, but their wins have slipped in quality as Florida has been losing. Best wins are Florida (4-4), LSU (4-4) and Missouri (4-4) |
24 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Penn State also has 3 losses, to Iowa, Ohio State, and Illinois. They do have a really nice win over Auburn however that keeps them in my rankings.  |
25 | Fresno State Bulldogs | Fresno State is 7-2. They have losses to Oregon and Hawaii. Picked up a really nice win over San Diego State (7-1).  |
