Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Georgia Bulldogs | Not only do I think the defending champs should stay #1 until proven otherwise but a 49-3 clobbering of a Oregon team everyone thought was decent should definitely give them the #1 spot imo |
2 | Alabama Crimson Tide | |
3 | Ohio State Buckeyes | |
4 | Michigan Wolverines | |
5 | Texas A&M Aggies | |
6 | Baylor Bears | |
7 | Oklahoma Sooners | |
8 | Miami Hurricanes | I think rn Miami might just be the best team in the ACC. |
9 | Clemson Tigers | Offense struggled a decent bit. I think they’ll get it figure out eventually. As of rn, idk |
10 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | I originally had Notre Dame around #15 in my last poll because I just didn’t think they’d have the pieces to be top 10, but they proved me wrong and played Ohio State close. The offense needs more explosiveness but rn I’d say ND is a rare case of losing yet still moving up in the rankings. |
11 | USC Trojans | |
12 | Florida Gators | Anthony Richardson is a beast and the Gators impressed me. |
13 | Tennessee Volunteers | |
14 | Utah Utes | My original playoff pick for #4 goes up in smoke. I still think Utah is a great team and everything is still in front of them this season. |
15 | Arkansas Razorbacks | Arkansas moved back a few spots because I thought some teams were better and I honestly expected them to whoop Cincy. |
16 | Kentucky Wildcats | |
17 | Minnesota Golden Gophers | |
18 | Penn State Nittany Lions | A lotta talk about Clifford from Penn State fans but a win on the road in a harsh environment against a solid Purdue team gets no complaints from me. |
19 | Cincinnati Bearcats | I honestly didn’t think Cincinnati would have a top 25 team this year and I even thought Arky would beat em pretty handily but Cincy kept it close so I’m not gonna totally punish them for it. |
20 | Wisconsin Badgers | |
21 | Mississippi State Bulldogs | |
22 | Michigan State Spartans | |
23 | Florida State Seminoles | FSU probably should have beat LSU by more than 1 given the many opportunities they had to do so, but still an impressive win for them. Are the Noles back? |
24 | Texas Longhorns | |
25 | NC State Wolfpack | Originally NC State was #11 in my rankings, and I dropped them a good bit because I feel they should’ve lost. However, they’re still 1-0 and I think they’ll end up improving the rest of the way so I’m not gonna knock em out of my top 25 quite yet. |
