Rank	Team	Reason
1	Alabama Crimson Tide	Dominant.
2	Georgia Bulldogs	Also dominant.
3	Ohio State Buckeyes	Beat a top 10 team, but the 2 teams in front of them will be near impossible to jump without them losing.
4	Texas A&M Aggies	Played with their food a bit, but rain delays leave things TBD. the talent is there.
5	Michigan Wolverines	Handled a meh CSU team at home as expected.
6	Notre Dame Fighting Irish	The defense fared much better vs the Bucks than people thought they would.
7	Baylor Bears	Big test this week, monster game vs FCS in week 1.
8	USC Trojans	Absolutely destroyed Rice and looked like what we expect from SC. We will see how fast the Lincoln Riley train can move.

10	Clemson Tigers	Rebounded in the second half, but they looked bad bad in out the gate.
11	Oklahoma State Cowboys
12	Michigan State Spartans
13	Arkansas Razorbacks	Picked up the win vs Cincy in a great game.
14	BYU Cougars	Put up 50 on a bad team after a rain delay - huge test against Baylor this week.
15	Utah Utes	They showed they weren't a top 10 team when they couldn't handle an unranked team in week 1 - hold steady at #15 despite the loss.
16	Ole Miss Rebels	Ho hum against Troy - holds steady.
17	Wisconsin Badgers
18	Kentucky Wildcats
19	NC State Wolfpack	Struggled with ECU - they looked to not be what we hoped.
20	Cincinnati Bearcats	The reload has seemed to happen, weak remaining OOC schedule before American play.
21	Houston Cougars	It took 3 OTs but UTSA looks to be good again this year, should be a quality win.
22	Florida Gators	Knocked off Utah at home - Richardson looked like a Heisman candidate.
23	Pittsburgh Panthers	Please give us more brawl.
24	Appalachian State Mountaineers	Defense had issues, but this offense will roll in the SBC.
25	Fresno State Bulldogs	Jake Haener. He is good. It wasn't a dominant offense performance, but he is efficient and they havce a great shot at winning the MW.
