Overall Rationale: Eye Test/Resume
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Tennessee Volunteers | Best resume in the nation, look the part. If they can pull it off in Athens, the sky is the limit for the Vols |
2 | Georgia Bulldogs | Another strong team. This Saturday is going to be one of the ages I feel. |
3 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Feel bad moving them down because why they looked mortal, getting a win in Happy Valley is no small feat. I feel they got passed by UT and UGA though. |
4 | Michigan Wolverines | Knowing how much of a thorn in a side Sparty has been for Michigan, have to be impressed with beating some demons this past Saturday. |
5 | Clemson Tigers | Clearly deserving of the 5 spot at this stage of the season. Still not a bad resume, but the other 4 teams are better imo. |
6 | TCU Horned Frogs | They keep winning. Definitely not pretty, but the power of Hypnotoad consumes all. |
7 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Helped by being idle, but I think they're still a top 7 team. |
8 | Oregon Ducks | Clearly still the class of the PAC, and can make things interesting if they keep winning. |
9 | UCLA Bruins | From here, there is no clarity. Still, I like what UCLA has done this season. |
10 | Ole Miss Rebels | They benefit a lot from other teams losing. Given everything I think they're top ten but who knows if they stay. |
11 | Utah Utes | Definitely a strong season after the Florida loss still. |
12 | USC Trojans | Good season for them so far, but with not a lot of quality wins I have to rank them below Utah with head to head in mind. |
13 | Illinois Fighting Illini | They keep winning, Bert finds a way. |
14 | Tulane Green Wave | Not sure how they lost to Southern Miss, but that win over K-State proves more impressive by the week. |
15 | Kansas State Wildcats | Fantastic win, but still with two losses I have to factor in the loss vs Tulane. |
16 | North Carolina Tar Heels | They keep winning, and Drake Maye is definitely playing like he wants to spend that weekend in New York |
17 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Feel bad punishing them since their only two losses are to literally Michigan and Ohio State. And I can't say making Ohio State sweat for three quarters is worse than the teams below them would do. |
18 | LSU Tigers | Definitely benefit in my rankings by other teams losing. Still, their offense has turned a corner, we'll see how it holds next week. |
19 | Oregon State Beavers | Last week vindicated my pick of having them at 25 instead of South Carolina. |
20 | Liberty Flames | After a big victory, they stood there and watched teams in front of them lose and now they're in the top 25 |
21 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | 0SU. Sheesh. |
22 | Wake Forest Demon Deacons | I don't know what to make of this team. |
23 | Washington Huskies | I feel like they've been underrated by the AP and other Pollsters. I think they're one of the best 25 teams in the nation still. |
24 | NC State Wolfpack | Ugly game. |
25 | Syracuse Orange | Their previous record buoys them still. But they are on thin ice now. |
