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 |
