| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
|
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
|
| 3 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Huge win, strong argument for #1 |
| 4 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Very impressive. A 24 point win that wasn't even that close over a top 10 team. |
| 5 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Solid win on the road against Seminoles. Worthy top 5 team. |
| 6 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Tough loss but it was on the road, close, and kinda flukey. Bama is still Bama. |
| 7 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
Huge win over Oklahoma State puts them in the Big 12 driver's seat. |
| 8 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Has looked questionable at times, but they're undefeated with a win over a good ranked team. |
| 9 |
UCLA Bruins
|
South Alabama win doesn't look so bad now, and Utah win looks great. |
| 10 |
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
|
|
| 11 |
Oregon Ducks
|
BYU win doesn't look so good anymore. |
| 12 |
Syracuse Orange
|
Still undefeated, somehow. Clemson next so we'll see. |
| 13 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
Tough loss but they might still be the best team in the Big 12. |
| 14 |
Utah Utes
|
Were it not for the Florida loss this would be a top 10 team. |
| 15 |
USC Trojans
|
Tough loss, but still a good chance to win the Pac 12 south. |
| 16 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Auburn and Purdue wins still solid. |
| 17 |
LSU Tigers
|
|
| 18 |
Texas Longhorns
|
|
| 19 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
|
| 20 |
Mississippi State Bulldogs
|
|
| 21 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
Win over Kansas State puts them above...well, Kansas State. |
| 22 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
|
| 23 |
NC State Wolfpack
|
|
| 24 |
Cincinnati Bearcats
|
Tough early loss to Arkansas is the only thing holding this team back from a much higher ranking. |
| 25 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
Minnesota win was good, but Indiana loss is bad. |
