Rank	Team	Reason
1	Michigan Wolverines	Computer-poll Michigan strikes again. (This is the result of an unusual strength-of-schedule factor in my algorithm. "FCS" is treated as a single team with a minor SoS penalty attached; Georgia faced an FCS opponent and Michigan didn't, directly resulting in Georgia dropping below Michigan.)
2	Georgia Bulldogs	Elaborating on the above: had the Charleston Southern @ Georgia game not been played, Georgia would have ranked #1. Next year, I'm planning on including a special check to prevent this from happening again.
3	Oklahoma State Cowboys
4	Ohio State Buckeyes
5	Notre Dame Fighting Irish
6	Alabama Crimson Tide
7	Cincinnati Bearcats
8	Michigan State Spartans
9	Iowa Hawkeyes
10	Baylor Bears
11	Ole Miss Rebels
12	Oklahoma Sooners
13	Wisconsin Badgers
14	San Diego State Aztecs
15	Wake Forest Demon Deacons
16	Purdue Boilermakers
17	BYU Cougars
18	Oregon Ducks
19	Pittsburgh Panthers
20	Clemson Tigers
21	UTSA Roadrunners
22	Houston Cougars
23	Arkansas Razorbacks
24	Utah Utes
25	Minnesota Golden Gophers	And so, Appalachian State's reign in my #25 spot comes to an end.
