| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
They looked mortal against Kent State, but they're still #1 |
| 2 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
|
| 3 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
|
| 4 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
|
| 5 |
Clemson Tigers
|
I don't know how good WF is, but a tough road win against a conference foe doesn't ever hurt. |
| 6 |
USC Trojans
|
Ditto. |
| 7 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
|
| 8 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Auburn beating Mizzou helps |
| 9 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
A scare against NIU, we'll see how they fare against Ole Miss. |
| 10 |
NC State Wolfpack
|
Tech win helps a lot. We'll see how they do against Clemson next week. |
| 11 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Nice win over Florida, two good P5 wins so far. |
| 12 |
Washington Huskies
|
|
| 13 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
Louisville win looks even better now. |
| 14 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Tough win against a really good Cougs team. BYU win still looks good. |
| 15 |
Minnesota Golden Gophers
|
Leaders in the B1G west. Great win over Sparty |
| 16 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
Tulane losing makes their loss worse, but a big road win over OU and their murder of Mizzou are both a big plus. |
| 17 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
They looked a lot better against Kent State than Georgia did, but... |
| 18 |
Utah Utes
|
Loss to Florida hurts but they've kicked butt since. |
| 19 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
I have no idea. They've looked bad, Miami is a worse opponent than thought, App State beat them and is a 2-loss non P5, but they did manage to beat Arkansas, so i guess they're here. |
| 20 |
Arkansas Razorbacks
|
Bad loss, but win against Cincy still a plus for them. |
| 21 |
BYU Cougars
|
Wyoming is no pushover, and that Baylor win helps too. |
| 22 |
Kansas Jayhawks
|
Still not a coward. But seriously, that Duke win was fairly impressive. |
| 23 |
Baylor Bears
|
|
| 24 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
|
| 25 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
Huge win against a team that nearly beat Florida. Ole Miss, Wash St, Syracuse, Florida, Oregon State, and James Madison were also considered. |
