Rank	Team	Reason
1	Cincinnati Bearcats	Undefeated, top 5 win, conference champs.
2	Alabama Crimson Tide	Best 1 loss team with the best win. 
3	Michigan Wolverines	Big 10 champ, only 1 loss
4	Georgia Bulldogs	Stumbled at the end yet better than those below them. Only 1 loss.
5	Notre Dame Fighting Irish	Best 1 loss team not in the playoff. Therefore, best team not in the playoff. 
6	Baylor Bears	Big 12 Champ, only 2 losses, yet, have 2 losses. 
7	Pittsburgh Panthers	ACC Champ, but 2 losses. 
8	BYU Cougars	Beat Utah, AND have fewer losses. 
9	Utah Utes	Pac 12 Champ, but 3 losses make it worst P5 champ. 
10	UTSA Roadrunners	C-USA Champ, only 1 loss. 
11	Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns	Sun Belt champ, only 1 loss. Losing to Texas early makes no sense. 
12	Oklahoma State Cowboys	Best of the P5 teams to play in the champ game and lose.... besides Georgia. 
13	Oregon Ducks	Eh, that Ohio State win seems sus now, but it happened. 
14	Iowa Hawkeyes	Won the Big 10 East. 
15	Wake Forest Demon Deacons	Los in the ACC champ game, but, only 3 losses isn't the worst. 
16	Ole Miss Rebels	Did not win division, therefore, CANNOT be above those in the P5 that did. 
17	Ohio State Buckeyes	Did not win the division, lost to Oregon. have to be down here. 
18	Michigan State Spartans	Lost to Ohio State, but in a better position than Oklahoma is. 
19	Oklahoma Sooners	Lost everything but hey, only 2 losses. 
20	Utah State Aggies	Won the MW, but 3 losses means they are behind these other teams.
21	NC State Wolfpack	Did not win the division, AND had 3 losses, still beat Clemson though. 
22	Clemson Tigers	Fine, they get to be ranked, somehow ended up with only 3 losses. 
23	San Diego State Aztecs	Lost in the MW champ game but have an excuse at least. 
24	Houston Cougars	Lost vs Cincinnati, their sacrifice was not in vain. 
25	Northern Illinois Huskies	Won the MAC... I mean I guess I should rank them even though CC is prolly better and have fewer losses.
