Overall Rationale: Watching games, flipping between channels, watching highlights, checking stat lines
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Buckeye's take the #1 spot, not so much on virtue of how good they looked the past two weeks, but because of how vulnerable Alabama and Georgia looked. |
2 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Almost lost to a mediocre Texas A&M team at home, dropping them off the #1 spot. |
3 | Georgia Bulldogs | Beating Auburn isn't enough to get them to jump Bama for me. |
4 | Clemson Tigers | Clemson continues to be Clemson. |
5 | Tennessee Volunteers | Embarrassed LSU in Baton Rouge. Are the Vols back? |
6 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | Solid win against Texas Tech, but jumped by the Tennessee due to their demolition of LSU. |
7 | TCU Horned Frogs | Beat a good Kansas Team. Could be higher, but Kansas was playing a backup QB most of the game. |
8 | Michigan Wolverines | Jumped by TCU and the Vols, both of whom had better wins. Michigan's cupcake start to the season finally ends next week against the Nittany Lions. |
9 | Ole Miss Rebels | Started slow against Vandy, jumped by TCU and the Vols, both of whom had better wins. |
10 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Bye week, jumped by TCU. |
11 | UCLA Bruins | Nice win against Utah is enough to jump them up the rankings. |
12 | USC Trojans | USC continues to not impress, despite being 6-0. Utah will be their first real test against quality opposition. |
13 | Wake Forest Demon Deacons | Destroyed Army, but got jumped by UCLA after they beat Utah. |
14 | Oregon Ducks | Beat Arizona, but big game against UCLA coming up. |
15 | NC State Wolfpack | Didn't look great against FSU, but top 25 matchup with Syracuse next week. We'll see which team is for real. |
16 | Kansas State Wildcats | Ugly win against Iowa State. Showdown against TCU coming up. |
17 | Syracuse Orange | Bye week, with three tough games in a row after. |
18 | Kansas Jayhawks | Close loss to TCU with their backup QB playing most of the game. Did not deserve to drop. |
19 | Mississippi State Bulldogs | Beatdown Arkansas. Will Rogers leads the SEC in passing yards. Mike Leach has his Air Raid offense rolling. |
20 | Illinois Fighting Illini | Wasn't pretty, but it was a win. Will be interesting to see if they maintain their lead in the B1G West. |
21 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | The Marshall game is looking like more of a fluke. Dominated two good teams (BYU and UNC) even though the scoreboard didn't reflect it. |
22 | North Carolina Tar Heels | 5-1 with loss to ND and a relatively easy schedule going forward. Will most likely be playing in the ACC Championship game this year. |
23 | Cincinnati Bearcats | Continues to be the best G5 team. Thought there'd be more of a drop off after losing a ton of players to the draft, but the Bearcats have been really good. |
24 | James Madison Dukes | Probably don't deserve to be ranked over Coastal Carolina, but I really like their Cinderella story. |
25 | Coastal Carolina Chanticleers | Grayson McCall is looking good. First three out: BYU, Baylor, Tulane |
