Overall Rationale: Watching games, flipping between channels, watching highlights, checking stat lines
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Alabama Crimson Tide | All three of my top 3 teams have had games where they looked mortal, but Alabama's game against Texas seems tougher than OU vs. ND at home or Georgia @ Mizzou, so I'm more willing to give them the benefit of the doubt than the other two. |
2 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Obliterated Rutgers |
3 | Georgia Bulldogs | Georgia just squeaking by Mizzou was enough to drop them to 3 for me. |
4 | Clemson Tigers | Solid win against a top 10 team. |
5 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | Avenged last years Big 12 Championship loss against a solid Baylor team. |
6 | Michigan Wolverines | Unimpressed with the opening schedule, don't think they're for real. Penn State will be a good test for both teams. |
7 | Ole Miss Rebels | Good win against Kentucky with a fun finish. |
8 | Tennessee Volunteers | Idle, no reason to drop or move up, got passed by Ole Miss because of their win against Kentucky |
9 | Penn State Nittany Lions | I think they're the second best team in the B1G, but they'll have to prove it against Michigan |
10 | TCU Horned Frogs | Great win against the Sooners, the Big 12 is going to be wild. |
11 | USC Trojans | Don't have any wins against strong opposition to show that they are legit or deserving of a spot above some of the other teams. |
12 | Wake Forest Demon Deacons | Rebounding from the Clemson loss at undefeated FSU |
13 | Utah Utes | After starting with a close loss in the Swamp, the Utes have looked really good. The PAC-12 is theirs to lose. |
14 | Kentucky Wildcats | Quality loss at Ole Miss that came down to the wire and was decided on an illegal shift penalty. |
15 | NC State Wolfpack | Tough loss in Death Valley, but have looked solid this year |
16 | Oregon Ducks | Awful loss against Georgia, but a solid win over BYU is enough to rank them here |
17 | BYU Cougars | Bad loss at Oregon and a couple of relatively close games against mediocre opposition, big game against the Irish in Las Vegas coming up. |
18 | Kansas Jayhawks | Rock Chalk, Jayhawk |
19 | UCLA Bruins | 5-0 with a win against a good Washington team |
20 | Kansas State Wildcats | That Oklahoma win is looking a little less impressive, but 2-0 in the Big 12 is nothing to sneeze at. |
21 | Syracuse Orange | Kansas has stolen the spotlight, but Syracuse is undefeated with 3 wins of Power 5 teams |
22 | Washington Huskies | Loss to UCLA was disappointing, but I am a big fan of Michael Penix |
23 | Mississippi State Bulldogs | Nice win against Texas A&M, but lost to a mediocre LSU team |
24 | Florida State Seminoles | Loss to Wake Forest at home was tough, but they still have wins over LSU, Louisville, and BC. Good enough to stay top 25. |
25 | James Madison Dukes | Undefeated so far in their first FBS season. First three out are Washington State, Cincinnati, and Coastal Carolina. |
