|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
1a. Best win of the year imo that shows amazing potential any given Saturday |
| 2 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
1b. Hottest team in the country |
| 3 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Too talented to be left out of top 3 while undefeated |
| 4 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
All around solid team |
| 5 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
Maybe the best résumé in the nation |
| 6 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Great defense but I’m worried about QB |
| 7 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Could be higher. Only loss was on fg at #2. Top talent with best QB in the country |
| 8 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Continues to dominate after embarrassing week 1 loss |
| 9 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Jury’s out but 7-1 in the SEC West |
| 10 |
USC Trojans
|
Several close games, defense not very good but great QB |
| 11 |
UCLA Bruins
|
Chip’s best team at UCLA with a veteran QB playing well |
| 12 |
Utah Utes
|
Good team. 2 good wins in a row. Last win without starting QB |
| 13 |
LSU Tigers
|
Lots of talent as always. Lost game 1 by a point. Strong résumé with 2 losses |

| 18 |
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
|
6-2. Bad loss today but went in OT with Clemson |
| 19 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
7-1. Great win vs K-State. Rest of schedule hurts them |
| 20 |
Maryland Terrapins
|
6-2. Playing Michigan close is their biggest achievement. |
| 21 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys

6-2. Thought this was a solid team and may still be. Gotta bounce back after 48-0 loss. |
| 22 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
5-3. 2 really bad losses and played tOSU fairly tough. Outclassed #16 Syracuse and proved why there’s an eyeball test. |
| 23 |
Arkansas Razorbacks

5-3. Very tough schedule in the West and added Cinci and BYU. Won both of those and seem to be playing good ball again |
| 24 |
Syracuse Orange
