Overall Rationale: Eye test/resume.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Georgia Bulldogs | They look the part of a number 1 team. Beating what turned out to be a solid Oregon team (after seeing them against BYU) like they were an FCS school looks even better. |
2 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Very talented team and has handled business. Not much more to say |
3 | Alabama Crimson Tide | I think the close win against Texas dings them compared to Ohio State. |
4 | Oklahoma Sooners | Compared to how last year's team had Houdini acts, Venables taking care of business in non conference is a marked improvemet |
5 | Michigan Wolverines | Soft schedule for sure, but they did what you should expect them to do. Still rank below Oklahoma since Oklahoma did go on the road to face a P5 opponent even if said opponent was Nebraska. |
6 | Clemson Tigers | Still a strong defense, but the offense worries me enough to put them below the others |
7 | USC Trojans | They really look competent and the offense is explosive enough |
8 | Kentucky Wildcats | Strong looking team, and you have to give them credit for taking the winds out of the sails of Florida |
9 | Tennessee Volunteers | Offense is electric, they took care of business vs the cupcakes and getting a road ranked win is huge |
10 | Penn State Nittany Lions | They look solid, and you have to give them credit for blasting Auburn in Jordan-Hare which is historically a tough place to play. |
11 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | Solid looking team, resume is still quite lacking though. |
12 | Washington Huskies | They look very good, especially with Penix. Blasting Michigan State the way they did is a good look. |
13 | Arkansas Razorbacks | Solid looking team, but you have to rate them this low because of their bumpy motorcycle ride against Missouri State. |
14 | NC State Wolfpack | |
15 | Oregon Ducks | Huge win against BYU to say the least. Should fare a lot better playing teams that aren't literally Georgia. |
16 | Minnesota Golden Gophers | Really solid looking team that's handled business. I'm high on them. |
17 | Wake Forest Demon Deacons | |
18 | Ole Miss Rebels | |
19 | Pittsburgh Panthers | |
20 | Syracuse Orange | Undefeated, and I give them credit for blasting Louisville who beat UCF and who FSU struggled with. |
21 | BYU Cougars | |
22 | Baylor Bears | |
23 | Florida Gators | May not be for long after the USF game. But still the Utah win looks good and you can't punish them for a top ten Kentucky being their only loss even if USF should have pulled it out last night. |
24 | Utah Utes | Still looks the part of a top 25 team. But with so few data points, despite Florida looking ugly the last two weeks you still have to give the head to head tiebreaker to Florida |
25 | Washington State Cougars |
