Overall Rationale: Expected results/Resume, leaning more heavily on the latter at the season progresses
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Georgia Bulldogs | Not looking great, but a road conf win is never easy. |
2 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Solid win over Arkansas. |
3 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Still not playing at 100% but dominating lesser opponents |
4 | Clemson Tigers | Wins over WF and NCSt look quite good now. |
5 | Michigan Wolverines | |
6 | USC Trojans | |
7 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | First real test of the season was a quality road win. |
8 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Struggled a bit with Northwestern but game was never in doubt. |
9 | Tennessee Volunteers | |
10 | Utah Utes | Loss to Florida doesn't look great, but they've played very well since. Absolutely blew out a team USC barely beat. |
11 | Oregon Ducks | UGA loss still stings, but victory over 4-1 BYU and WSU help their argument a lot. |
12 | Wake Forest Demon Deacons | I felt they played Clemson a bit better, so get the edge over the Wolfpack, their best win is a notch above as well. |
13 | NC State Wolfpack | |
14 | TCU Horned Frogs | Destroying Oklahoma like that is impressive. It'll be interesting to see how they fare against Kansas next week. Speaking of... |
15 | Kansas Jayhawks | Still not a coward. |
16 | UCLA Bruins | Their struggles with South Alabama looked bad at the time, but they've won every other game easily, and USA has won all four of their other games. This might be a very good team. |
17 | Ole Miss Rebels | Didn't have them ranked until now. Solid win over a good UK team moves them up pretty high |
18 | BYU Cougars | |
19 | Florida State Seminoles | Tough loss but still looking pretty good. |
20 | LSU Tigers | This team is surprisingly 4-1 with only a 1 point loss to a ranked team. Might be better than thought. |
21 | Mississippi State Bulldogs | Slaughter of TAMU brings them here. |
22 | Kentucky Wildcats | None of their wins are looking particularly great in hindsight. |
23 | Washington Huskies | Sparty win doesn't look as good now. |
24 | Maryland Terrapins | Only loss is by one score to a top 5 Wolverines team. Beat Sparty in a similar fashion to Wash. Puts them here. |
25 | Syracuse Orange | Purdue beating Minnesota not only knocks the Gophers out but also helps Cuse's argument. Haven't been dominant but 5-0 is 5-0. Have them just a nose above JMU for #25 |
