Submitted: Nov. 6, 2022, 1:09 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Ranked by W/L first, eye test between win/loss tiers. Subjective ranking of impressiveness of wins and losses within.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Georgia Bulldogs | Beat Tennessee, Oregon extremely convincingly even if they have played weak against some teams. Show up when it matters. The defending champions at the top, who would have guessed! |
2 | TCU Horned Frogs | Still undefeated, if they beat Texas they probably easily stay here until B12 championship game unless my Cyclones play spoiler. |
3 | Michigan Wolverines | Looked horrid, but picked up where OSU failed to against a better Rutgers. Only time will tell. |
4 | Tennessee Volunteers | Lost only to #1, even if dominating. |
5 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Northwestern looked horrible. Weather yes, but still 1-7 Northwestern. Surely a team with their talent can get a better win. |
6 | Oregon Ducks | Georgia fluke loss magnitude, good against everyone else. |
7 | Tulane Green Wave | Southern Miss loss still so weird. Beat multiple decent to good teams. |
8 | UCLA Bruins | Bad loss to higher ranked Ducks. |
9 | USC Trojans | Looked worst against Utah, tie break against UCLA. |
10 | Liberty Flames | Taken care of business (almost) everywhere needed. Beat Arkansas, barely lost to Wake. Trust me, I wish they were worse. |
11 | North Carolina Tar Heels | The worst 1-loss team. Should have lost against my Blue Devils and so many more. Fluke loss to Notre Dame. Still, results speak, otherwise I can't rank TCU so high. |
12 | LSU Tigers | Beat Alabama, barely beat by FSU and quality loss to Vols. |
13 | Ole Miss Rebels | Head to head, LSU. |
14 | Clemson Tigers | Just looked beatable lately, Notre Dame loss and Syracruse (shoulda lost) too great. |
15 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Most impressive two loss team, only losses come to undefeated, otherwise dominant. Played well against OSU. |
16 | Coastal Carolina Chanticleers | 8-1, but played nobody. Lost badly to ODU, no dominant victories. |
17 | Troy Trojans | Only losses to ranked and great Ole Miss and clutch loss to App State. No defining wins. |
18 | UCF Knights | Takes care of business. Loss to Louisville and ECU bad, but both are inconsistent and underrated. |
19 | Utah Utes | Accidentally forgot they existed last week. Beat USC, Florida loss bad, UCLA loss permissible. |
20 | NC State Wolfpack | Barely beat ECU and Virginia Tech. Permissible losses to Clemson and Syracuse. No great wins. |
21 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Played close all season, luck turns them into an undefeated but the Alabama effect is gone for now. |
22 | Washington Huskies | Permissible loss to UCLA, not so much against Arizona St. Alright win against OSU. |
23 | South Alabama Jaguars | Barely lost to higher ranked UCLA and Troy. Gets you here. |
24 | UTSA Roadrunners | This team is weird. Three teams in overtime, barely lost to Houston and lost to Texas. Somewhat permissible, but rankings support the roadrunners thus far. |
25 | Cincinnati Bearcats | Taking care of business after losing to a decent UCF and Arkansas. |
