Overall Rationale: Each week, I re-rank teams based on their accomplishments so far this season.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Tennessee Volunteers | Tennessee is my #1 team. They have very nice wins over Alabama (7-1), LSU (6-2), and Kentucky (5-3). Huge matchup with Georgia next week. |
2 | Georgia Bulldogs | Georgia is 8-0. Their win over Oregon (7-1) remains super impressive. They also have a nice win over South Carolina (5-3). They play Tennessee next week and could reclaim their spot on the top of my rankings. |
3 | Clemson Tigers | Clemson is 8-0. Their resume took a bit of a shot this week with some losses to their best wins, but they still have solid wins over Syracuse (6-2), Wake Forest (6-2), North Carolina State (6-2), and Florida State (5-3) |
4 | TCU Horned Frogs | TCU is 8-0 with wins over Oklahoma State (6-2), Kansas State (6-2), Oklahoma (5-3), and Kansas (5-3). |
5 | Michigan Wolverines | Michigan is 8-0. They have wins over Penn State (6-2) and Maryland (6-2). |
6 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Ohio State is 8-0. They picked up a nice win over Penn State (6-2) this weekend. Their win over Notre Dame (5-3) is also looking better. |
7 | Oregon Ducks | Oregon is 7-1. They have a tough loss to Georgia but have a nice win over UCLA (7-1). |
8 | UCLA Bruins | UCLA is 7-1. They have a loss to Oregon, but have nice wins over Utah (6-2) and Washington (6-2) |
9 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Alabama is 7-1 with a loss to Tennessee. Their best wins are over Arkansas (5-3), Mississippi State (5-3), and Texas (5-3). They have some big chances to get nice wins coming up with games against LSU and Ole Miss in the next couple weeks. |
10 | USC Trojans | USC is 7-1. They have a loss to Utah. Their best wins are over Oregon State (6-2) and Washington State (4-4). |
11 | Ole Miss Rebels | Ole Miss is 8-1. Their best win is over Kentucky (5-3). They play Alabama in 2 weeks and we will find out where they belong. |
12 | Illinois Fighting Illini | Illinois is 7-1 with a bad loss to Indiana. Their best win is over Minnesota (5-3). They have a pretty soft schedule this year so despite the great record, I dont have them that high. They do play Michigan later with a chance to prove they belong higher. |
13 | North Carolina Tar Heels | North Carolina is 7-1 with a loss to Notre Dame. Their best wins are over Duke (5-3) and Pitt (4-4). They play Wake forest and NC state still this year and can move up with wins over those teams. |
14 | Tulane Green Wave | Tulane is 7-1 with a very good win over Kansas State (6-2). They also have wins over Eastern Carolina (6-3) and Houston (5-3). |
15 | LSU Tigers | LSU is 6-2 with a very nice win over Ole Miss (8-1) and a win over Mississippi State (5-3). They play Alabama next week and have a big chance to move up. |
16 | Utah Utes | Utah is 6-2. They have nice wins over USC (7-1) and Oregon State (6-2) |
17 | Kansas State Wildcats | Kansas State is 6-2 with losses to TCU and Tulane. They have nice wins over Oklahoma State (6-2) and Oklahoma (5-3). |
18 | Syracuse Orange | Syracuse is 6-2 with losses to Clemson and Notre Dame. They have nice wins over North Carolina state (6-2), Purdue (5-3), and Louisville (5-3). |
19 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | Oklahoma State is 6-2. They have wins over Texas (5-3) and Baylor (5-3). |
20 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Penn State is 6-2. They have nice wins over Purdue (5-3) and Minnesota (5-3). |
21 | Wake Forest Demon Deacons | Wake Forest is 6-2 with a nice win over Florida State (5-3). |
22 | NC State Wolfpack | NC State is 6-2. They have nice wins over Florida State (5-3) and Eastern Carolina (6-3) |
23 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Notre Dame is weird. They are 5-3 with really bad losses but some nice wins. Best wins are over North Carolina (7-1) and Syracuse (6-2) |
24 | Oregon State Beavers | Oregon State is 6-2. Their best win is probably Boise State (6-2). They play Washington next week and can prove they belong. |
25 | Florida State Seminoles | Florida State is 5-3. Best win is over LSU (6-2) |
