Overall Rationale: Best I can determine.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
They look like the best right now, all their games have been impressive. |
| 2 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Close behind the above, can't forget about that Oregon win. |
| 3 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
Kind of a hot take, but they've beat so many ranked teams, even if always from behind. Prove to me that Michigan and Ohio State can beat better first. |
| 4 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Crap shoot between the Buckeyes and the Wolverines. Figured I'd put them here just because it is a little more unorthodox. |
| 5 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
See above. |
| 6 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Syracuse was robbed, Wake Forest win much less impressive. |
| 7 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Playing great since that horrific loss. |
| 8 |
USC Trojans
|
Close loss, otherwise good. |
| 9 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Too many close games. |
| 10 |
North Carolina Tar Heels
|
They beat teams, even if barely. Notre Dame loss is always so random. |
| 11 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
K-State win is great, Southern Miss loss is bad, but they look good. I chalk up the loss to being worn out by K-state. |
| 12 |
UCLA Bruins
|
Looking alright but Oregon loss bad. |
| 13 |
Liberty Flames
|
Not really impressive schedule, but one point loss to Wake Forest is permissible. |
| 14 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
One loss, but no good wins. |
| 15 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
Bad loss, but hey they win. |
| 16 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
Destroyed Oklahoma State and booted them from this list, played well against good teams. |
| 17 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Chokes against the best, but otherwise performs as expected. |
| 18 |
Syracuse Orange
|
Robbed against Clemson, Notre Dame is weird. |
| 19 |
LSU Tigers
|
Neither loss is horrible. |
| 20 |
Maryland Terrapins
|
Honestly surprised they have performed so well. |
| 21 |
UCF Knights
|
Head-to-head. |
| 22 |
Cincinnati Bearcats
|
|
| 23 |
UTSA Roadrunners
|
Quality losses. |
| 24 |
Coastal Carolina Chanticleers
|
Not sure. |
| 25 |
South Alabama Jaguars
|
Just what my calculations spit out. |
