Submitted: Oct. 2, 2022, 2:52 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Arbitrary personal metrics with some head-to-head sprinkled in
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Clemson Tigers
|
(+3) Won two games in a row against ranked teams, haven't had a bad week yet |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
(+0) Took care of business as expected against Rutgers |
| 3 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
(-2) One week of shakiness is understandable. This is two weeks in a row where they haven't played like a top-25 team |
| 4 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
(-1) Bryce Young injury on throwing arm, allowed Arkansas to get back into the game |
| 5 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
(+8) Good defense at the end against Kentucky |
| 6 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
(+2) Good win at Baylor |
| 7 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
(-1) Teams shifting around, win against Pitt looking less impressive |
| 8 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
(-3) Teams shifting around, played in a game not noteworthy |
| 9 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
(+5) Most of these gains are the teams moving around, still won a game in sloppy conditions |
| 10 |
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
|
(+6) Good win at Florida State, loss to Clemson looks better |
| 11 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
(-4) Loss to Ole Miss, need to get shit back together or face damnation against South Carolina |
| 12 |
NC State Wolfpack
|
(-2) Team showed good play in the first half at Clemson, but fell apart at the hardest place to play in the country |
| 13 |
Oregon Ducks
|
(-1) Blowout at the hands of Georgia is slightly less forgivable now |
| 14 |
Washington State Cougars
|
(NR) I overlooked this team by not putting them in the rankings last week, my mistake |
| 15 |
Utah Utes
|
(NR) Impressed by the decisive win against Oregon State |
| 16 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
(NR) Dismantled Oklahoma football, you hate to see it |
| 17 |
USC Trojans
|
(-2) Shaky 1st half against Arizona State and shaky performance against Oregon State does not inspire confidence |
| 18 |
Kansas Jayhawks
|
(+5) Another one. Win against Duke also looks more impressive |
| 19 |
Syracuse Orange
|
(NR) Undefeated, albeit with 2 nailbiters against "lesser" competition |
| 20 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
(+1) I'm too high on Texas Tech, but good win |
| 21 |
BYU Cougars
|
(-3) Less-than-stellar performance against in-state-state rival |
| 22 |
Baylor Bears
|
(-3) Lost to a good team |
| 23 |
UCLA Bruins
|
(NR) Beat Washington convincingly, game against South Alabama still making me less than confident in this team |
| 24 |
James Madison Dukes
|
(+0) Played a football game and won it |
| 25 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
(NR) Southern Miss loss still stings, but I still like the win against Kansas State a lot |
