Overall Rationale: Expected results/Resume, leaning more heavily on the latter at the season progresses
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Dominant wins over two top 10 teams. There's really not any doubt atm. |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Not a great win, but more willing to see this as an outlier due to circumstances, and ND win over Clemson helps SOS a lot. Clearly behind Georgia though. |
| 3 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
|
| 4 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
Struggled a bit but TTech has won a few good games. Clear favorite in Big 12 now. |
| 5 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Still a few good wins on their resume, and played closer to Georgia than Oregon. |
| 6 |
Oregon Ducks
|
|
| 7 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
|
| 8 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Bad loss. But a few decent wins keeps them up here. Still the favorite in the ACC |
| 9 |
UCLA Bruins
|
|
| 10 |
USC Trojans
|
Really bad defensive performance against Cal, but a win is a win. |
| 11 |
LSU Tigers
|
Top 2 loss team in the nation, with narrow win at home against Bama. Likely SEC west winner. |
| 12 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
|
| 13 |
North Carolina Tar Heels
|
|
| 14 |
Utah Utes
|
|
| 15 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 16 |
NC State Wolfpack
|
Solid win over WF after a few rough weeks. |
| 17 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
|
| 18 |
Texas Longhorns
|
|
| 19 |
Liberty Flames
|
Win @Arkansas was big. Just a 1 point road loss to WF away from being undefeated. |
| 20 |
Washington Huskies
|
Wrote them off after ASU loss, but they've slowly put together a pretty solid season. |
| 21 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
|
| 22 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
|
| 23 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Wins over Clem and Cuse have them back in the rankings. Should be 8-3 heading to USC. |
| 24 |
Kansas Jayhawks
|
|
| 25 |
Coastal Carolina Chanticleers
|
Head scratching loss to ODU, but otherwise a solid resume. |
