Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Georgia Bulldogs | ... |
2 | Cincinnati Bearcats | 48-14 over SMU. Desmond Ridder had 3 pass TDs, 1 rush TD, and 1 receiving TD |
3 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | 55-0 over Georgia Tech. This was the most complete game they have had all season |
4 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | 23-0 over Texas Tech. It was the first shutout Oklahoma State has pitched in a while. They face Oklahoma this coming weekend |
5 | Oklahoma Sooners | Oklahoma beat Iowa State and play Oklahoma State next, possibly two times in a row |
6 | Michigan Wolverines | 59-18 over Maryland. High expectations going into next week... |
7 | Ohio State Buckeyes | 49-0 at the half. Michigan State's secondary couldn't stop the pass at all |
8 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Alabama's offense looked as good as ever, but their defense leaves a lot to be desired. Arkansas were in it until the final seconds |
9 | Houston Cougars | Houston came out strong against Memphis and have a strong chance to derail Cincinnati's season and possibly get an NY6 bowl bid |
10 | Baylor Bears | Baylor beat Kansas State 20-10 and keep their conference hopes alive. If they beat Texas Tech and Oklahoma State beats Oklahoma, they should be in the conference championship |
11 | BYU Cougars | They got the W over Georgia Southern to be 9-2. USC is the last game on their schedule |
12 | Ole Miss Rebels | Not a satisfying final score against Vanderbilt, but still a W |
13 | UTSA Roadrunners | Meep. They beat UAB on a game winning drive with three seconds on the clock |
14 | Pittsburgh Panthers | Pittsburgh clinched their division with a 10-point win over Virginia. They play Syracuse before traveling to Charlotte for the ACC Championship |
15 | Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns | Liberty was favored in the game, but the Ragin' Cajuns went up 21-0 to start the game and finished it 42-14 |
16 | Wisconsin Badgers | Wisconsin continued tradition of Nebraska losing by 7 points or less woith a 35-28 final score. If they beat Minnesota next week, they're in the Big 10 championship |
17 | Utah Utes | 38-7 over Oregon? Wow |
18 | Texas A&M Aggies | TAMU had their November SEC cupcake game against Prairie View. LSU is last on their regular season schedule |
19 | Iowa Hawkeyes | 33-23 over Illinois. They have to beat Nebraska next weekend and have Wisconsin lose to be in the conference championship |
20 | Oregon Ducks | Oregon didn't just lose to Oregon, they were never really in the game. 38-7 ending. They likely replay each other in the Pac 12 championship unless Oregon loses next week |
21 | Appalachian State Mountaineers | App State won 45-7 over Troy to clinch their division. The Sunbelt Championship will be a rematch at Louisiana |
22 | Clemson Tigers | Clemson are back among the ranked after beating #13 Wake Forest 48-27. They keep their long home winning streak alive. |
23 | Wake Forest Demon Deacons | Wake Forest played at Clemson and laid an egg. They need to beat Boston College next weekend to get to the ACC Championship against Pitt |
24 | Michigan State Spartans | Michigan State's last ranked pass defense couldn't keep up against Ohio State's elite offense. 49-0 at the half... ouch. They can still have a 10 win regular season if they beat Penn State this weekend |
25 | San Diego State Aztecs | SDSU struggled against UNLV. Not a great look, but a win is a win! |
