Overall Rationale: Record, Resume, and Really Just Personal Opinion
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Alabama Crimson Tide | |
2 | Georgia Bulldogs | Yeah...struggling with Missouri will knock you down a peg (but by only a peg) |
3 | Ohio State Buckeyes | |
4 | Michigan Wolverines | |
5 | Clemson Tigers | |
6 | USC Trojans | Being honest - USC does NOT have any REALLY good wins (the closest I'd say is Oregon State, which Utah then outdid so that's also a concern). It's all about POTENTIAL at this point |
7 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | |
8 | Tennessee Volunteers | |
9 | Utah Utes | The Florida loss does weigh them down, but I'd argue that they've looked better the rest of the season, so it offsets a bit |
10 | Ole Miss Rebels | |
11 | Penn State Nittany Lions | |
12 | Oregon Ducks | The Georgia loss is bad, but like Utah, they've been good at looking better beyond that |
13 | Kentucky Wildcats | |
14 | Wake Forest Demon Deacons | I'd argue that losing in 2OT at home against Clemson looks better compared to what happened to NC State - and the win against FSU helps too |
15 | NC State Wolfpack | |
16 | BYU Cougars | |
17 | Kansas Jayhawks | I'd say they have the better wins compared to TCU |
18 | TCU Horned Frogs | And though TCU AND K-State both beat Oklahoma, I'd say the better performance (and no losses) makes the Frogs higher |
19 | Kansas State Wildcats | |
20 | UCLA Bruins | UCLA & Syracuse have similar resumes, but more FBS wins + upsetting Washington allows the Bruins to jump |
21 | Syracuse Orange | |
22 | Washington Huskies | |
23 | Baylor Bears | |
24 | Arkansas Razorbacks | Guess you get SOME leeway if you lose to Alabama... |
25 | Illinois Fighting Illini | Are they REALLY the #25 best team in America? Maybe, maybe not. But it's fun to have them ranked anyway! |
