Overall Rationale: Arbitrary personal metrics with some head-to-head sprinkled in
| Rank | Team | Reason | 
|---|---|---|
| 1 |  Ohio State Buckeyes | (+0) Looking like the best team in the nation; no weeks off | 
| 2 |  Tennessee Volunteers | (+1) Looking on the up-and-up, can beat anyone in the nation | 
| 3 |  Georgia Bulldogs | (+2) Teams are moving around, stink of the 2 games everyone knows I'm talking about starting to wear off | 
| 4 |  TCU Horned Frogs | (+2) Undefeated, played the toughest teams in the conference | 
| 5 |  Michigan Wolverines | (-1) Haven't played the toughest segment of the schedule yet (final 2 weeks) | 
| 6 |  Clemson Tigers | (-4) I feel a loss incoming, DJ looked like last year form again. A very shaky 7-0 start | 
| 7 |  Oregon Ducks | (+9) Great conference win against UCLA, Bo Nix is a Heisman dark horse | 
| 8 |  Alabama Crimson Tide | (+0) Mississippi State was never ranked in my poll, this game went about as expected | 
| 9 |  Oklahoma State Cowboys | (+3) Counteracted the choke job from last week | 
| 10 |  Wake Forest Demon Deacons | (-1) No fault of this team, but the Clemson loss looks worse, and other teams moved around | 
| 11 |  Penn State Nittany Lions | (+0) Game against Minnesota went about as expected | 
| 12 |  Syracuse Orange | (+1) Moving up after a loss is very odd, however, this team proved themselves to be competitive throughout in their competition against higher ranked opponents | 
| 13 |  Kansas State Wildcats | (+1) Same as Syracuse | 
| 14 |  UCLA Bruins | (-4) This team's shaky game against USA looks worse now, and their vital conference game felt over by the end of the 3rd quarter | 
| 15 |  Utah Utes | (+0) Bye week, still lost to UCLA so below them | 
| 16 |  USC Trojans | (+1) Bye week, still lost to Utah so below them | 
| 17 |  Tulane Green Wave | (+2) Win against KState still looks good, curse that game against Favre University | 
| 18 |  LSU Tigers | (+7) Beat a ranked conference opponent at home at noon | 
| 19 |  Ole Miss Rebels | (-12) Lost to LSU at BR at noon | 
| 20 |  Illinois Fighting Illini | (+1) Keep on winning | 
| 21 |  Liberty Flames | (NR) Keep on winning (somehow, plus the loss to Wake isn't too bad) | 
| 22 |  Cincinnati Bearcats | (+2) Keep on winning (somehow, plus the loss to Arkansas sucks) | 
| 23 |  North Carolina Tar Heels | (NR) Keep on winning (somehow, plus the loss to Notre Dame sucks) | 
| 24 |  Oregon State Beavers | (NR) Competitive against the #16 team here, played ok in other games | 
| 25 |  South Carolina Gamecocks | (NR) Beat Kentucky, keeps TAM below the Bowl eligibility line, getting blown out by Georgia is a hallmark of a ranked team |
