Overall Rationale: Expected results/Resume, leaning more heavily on the latter at the season progresses
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Looked much improved after last few weeks. |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Still a bit sloppy, but Stroud looked sharper and the bye will help get healthy. |
| 3 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
At some point their luck will run out, though this is still a very tough team. |
| 4 |
Clemson Tigers
|
|
| 5 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
|
| 6 |
USC Trojans
|
|
| 7 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Great win this week. Big test next week. |
| 8 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
Struggled a bit but Tech is tough. TCU game will be interesting. |
| 9 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 10 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
Tough win on the road, game against Ok St will show if they are a contender or not. |
| 11 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Another blowout win. |
| 12 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Struggled a bit in the first half but handled Vandy down the stretch. |
| 13 |
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
|
|
| 14 |
NC State Wolfpack
|
Pulled out a close one against a decent FSU team. |
| 15 |
UCLA Bruins
|
Dominant win over Utah. Might not be giving them enough credit. We'll see them against Oregon in a few weeks. |
| 16 |
Mississippi State Bulldogs
|
Outside of the 4th quarter of the LSU game, this team has been very good. |
| 17 |
Syracuse Orange
|
Idle, but benefited from losses above them. |
| 18 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
Not sure how good the Cats are at this point. Win over Florida isn't bad but they've struggled in other games. |
| 19 |
Florida Gators
|
Handled Mizzou better than Georgia. Close loss on the road to Tennessee looks pretty good in retrospect. |
| 20 |
Utah Utes
|
Has looked dominant in their wins, both losses have been against ranked teams on the road. Here seems about right. |
| 21 |
Kansas Jayhawks
|
Tough loss, but this is still a pretty good team. |
| 22 |
Texas Longhorns
|
OT loss to Tech and 1 point loss to Bama all that are holding this team back from being top 10. |
| 23 |
James Madison Dukes
|
Destroyed MTSU, beat Appy on the road, and has handled everyone else they've faced. |
| 24 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
A few good wins, only black mark is the loss to So Miss. |
| 25 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
