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. |
