Overall Rationale: Got an exam this week so not too much time to give this. Resume-based decisions.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Georgia Bulldogs | Wins over UT and Oregon. Easy enough. |
2 | TCU Horned Frogs | Staying unbeaten in the Big 12 is more impressive than the other undefeated B1G teams. |
3 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Easily a better non-con than Michigan, conference schedules cancel out. All will be decided 11/26. |
4 | Michigan Wolverines | Clearly the weakest resume of the unbeatens, but everything to play for is still ahead for the Blue. |
5 | Tennessee Volunteers | Best resume of the 1-loss teams. A CFP shot has real potential for the Vols. |
6 | USC Trojans | No really impressive win. Games against UCLA and ND should fix that. |
7 | North Carolina Tar Heels | Perpetually under the radar. Maye and the Heels boast a top 10 resume to this point in the season. |
8 | Clemson Tigers | Sharing a loss to ND with UNC (but by a slightly larger margin) holds Clemson at 8 |
9 | LSU Tigers | The highest of the 2-loss teams. The Bama and Ole Miss wins are nice, though this team feels ripe for another loss to me. |
10 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Bama gonna Bama. Seeing them in the Citrus Bowl will be weird. |
11 | Oregon Ducks | UO, UW, and UCLA have a nice little rock-paper-scissors thing going here. Oregon is the highest because it has the best losses (lol). |
12 | UCLA Bruins | Oof that Arizona loss hurts. This team could have been like #7 if that hadn't gone down. |
13 | Washington Huskies | UW got a solid win but the loss to ASU holds them back |
14 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Penn State stays below the Pac-12 trio because who has Penn St beaten? No one. But they also have better losses than anyone else left. |
15 | Utah Utes | Don't look now but here comes Utah. The Pac-12 is fun all of a sudden. |
16 | Coastal Carolina Chanticleers | Coastal is my lowest ranked 1-loss team, but highest G5 team. They keep winning in the SBC and I'll keep moving them up (that ODU loss is gross though) |
17 | Ole Miss Rebels | I don't like Ole Miss. Like, fr fr. Their best win is Troy and I dunno, they ain't that great. |
18 | UCF Knights | Clear leaders of the American. Knights should be here. |
19 | Cincinnati Bearcats | Cincy boasts two decent losses (lol) and is keeping up in the American |
20 | Tulane Green Wave | The win over Kansas State holds the Baja Blast in the Top 20 |
21 | Troy Trojans | Like Bud Elliot, I freaking love Troy. This team is good, and they've won me a decent stack of cash. |
22 | UTSA Roadrunners | Continuing the parade of G5's. The Roadrunners represent CUSA's best. |
23 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Dominating the ACC really helps the Irish. Losses to Marshall and Stanford are hard to forget though. |
24 | Kansas State Wildcats | Kansas State is a force in the Big 12, and may be getting payback on TCU |
25 | South Alabama Jaguars | This spot could have gone to Liberty or Florida State. I give it to the Jags though because their body of work is better than Liberty and they have the loss advantage on FSU. |
