Submitted: Sept. 11, 2022, 7:52 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Lot of movement this week, some pre-season paper tigers were exposed and some talented squads came alive. Still early and not much to go on, but the picture becomes clearer.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Most impressive win of the season so far. |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
ND win doesnt look as solid, now - but still putting together a strong season and the talent is deep |
| 3 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Gross |
| 4 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
If they don't bury nebraska in a corn field, they will drop next week. Can't justify anyone else above them, yet. |
| 5 |
Clemson Tigers
|
I'm wishy washy on this but Dabo looks to be putting something together (so early it hurts) |
| 6 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Go vols, gutsy road win against a ranked team. |
| 7 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Bama can't get by on its name, need to see more to be in the top 5 |
| 8 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
|
| 9 |
USC Trojans
|
Emerging as a clear front runner in the PAC |
| 10 |

Talent carried them to dominant victory but might fall apart next week. |
