Overall Rationale: Overall I think tOSU needs to be #1 after the close-calls shown by Georgia and Alabama. tOSU's true strength likely won't be tested fully until their game against Michigan, but nonetheless have withstood game after game without hesitation. Other teams like Illinois, Baylor, and Syracuse have been ranked higher than usual, but mainly because of their ability to recover and come out better after their losses.
