• Analysis

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Georgia Bulldogs	Win over top 10 Oregon remains most impressive win of any team.
2	Ohio State Buckeyes
3	Tennessee Volunteers
4	Michigan Wolverines
5	Clemson Tigers
6	Alabama Crimson Tide
7	TCU Horned Frogs
8	Oregon Ducks	Best team in the Pac-12, and probably their best hope for a playoff team.
9	Oklahoma State Cowboys
10	Wake Forest Demon Deacons	Tough team to rank, their schedule ahead gets much tougher.
11	UCLA Bruins	Tough loss @Oregon but still have the inside track in the Pac-12 south, rematch with Oregon quite possible.
12	Ole Miss Rebels	6-1, but only good win was by 3 to UK. Maybe not as good as we thought?
13	Syracuse Orange	Losing by 6 on the road against Clemson isn't bad. Likely out of the running in the ACC though, as they're in the same division.
14	Utah Utes
15	USC Trojans
16	LSU Tigers
17	Penn State Nittany Lions
18	Kentucky Wildcats
19	Tulane Green Wave
20	NC State Wolfpack
21	Cincinnati Bearcats
22	North Carolina Tar Heels	No convincing wins and a loss to 4-3 ND tells me this isn't a very good team, but 6-1 is 6-1. Likely the ACC Coastal winner too.
23	South Carolina Gamecocks	Had they beaten Arkansas they'd have a very similar resume to Oregon.
24	Texas Longhorns
25	Kansas State Wildcats
