| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Idle (bye week) still the best offense in the country. won't know for sure if they're 100% championship material till they play a PSU, and we'll have an idea who Michigan is and who is Ohio State. |
| 2 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
are the Vols the best team in the country? We'll find out in 3 weeks between the hedges. |
| 3 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
after the serious scare against Mizzu, they've been laying the wood to team you're supposed to lay the wood against. |
| 4 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Strong team, will breeze thru the ACC. But is their D championship material this year? |
| 5 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
if TCU can survive Kansas St, they'll have wins over 4 ranked opponents in a row. going to be moving up into the top 3 with that resume. |
| 6 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
another dominate victory, but was PSU a fraud.... who knows. Would like to see a more balanced offense to move up. |
| 7 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
quietly undefeated in the SEC is hard to do, but that's because their strength of schedule is very suspect. We'll find out if Kiffin and has a real winner over the next few weeks. |
| 8 |
UCLA Bruins
|
Chip has the Bruins rolling, but we'll find out if they're for real @Oregon. |
| 9 |
Syracuse Orange
|
Can't put a team with a loss over them at this point in the season. |
| 10 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
lost of close games to not very teams finally caught up to them against a good team. best of the 1 loss teams |
| 11 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Ducks could win the Pac 12 |
| 12 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
weak strength of schedule, then loses to a great TCU team. who are the pokes? |
| 13 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
bad loss to a very good team. hard to figure out a proper placement. |
| 14 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
wildcats got some scratch, but TCU is most likely going to end their season next week. |
| 15 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
shocking but here we are. |
| 16 |
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
|
Not a fan of their strength of schedule |
| 17 |
Utah Utes
|
had to be over USC, Best two loss team |
| 18 |
USC Trojans
|
had to be below Utah |
| 19 |
North Carolina Tar Heels
|
not impressed with this team so far, but they keep winning and you have to respect the 6-1 record, even if it's in the ACC. |
| 20 |
Cincinnati Bearcats
|
Cincy still looks good, heading into a a battle royal with Tulane at the end of the season |
| 21 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
The green wave fights on, heading into a battle royal with Cincy at the end of the season |
| 22 |
Texas Longhorns
|
second best 2 loss team |
| 23 |
LSU Tigers
|
the tigers could probably..... beat anyone ranked outside of the top 25 |
| 24 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
Good team, not great, will lose more the season progresses |
| 25 |
Liberty Flames
|
6-1 with only a loss coming to Wake on the road by 1 point. Gotta give this team some props. Flame on! |
