Took care of business, at the very limits of doing so. Hang on to #1 by a decent margin with their good wins. |

Should not have won against Illinois and even I am confused how they climbed, even with the poor performances of the entire top tier. I see ominous signs for the Wolverines next week. |

Moves down after playing too close against Baylor, leaving to a walk off. However, TCU has showcased they can be good at every phase of the game with their special teams shining like I have never seen. Interesting game aginst my Cyclones next week, but I don't think we have fight left in us. Next challenge for them will likely wait until the Big XII championship game in a rematch against Kansas State or Texas. |

Not sure why the Buckeyes get demoted down here, although their game was also close. Still consider both others above them but all will be settled next week between 2 and 4. |

The best 10-1, but like Clemson, vulnerable. Honestly seems to me quite like UNC, except their offense can hide their defensive flaws better. Very interested in what happens against ND and can see Notre Dame shutting USC down with some luck. |

... 10-1 speaks for itself and been playing up to form as of late. |

Now I respect head-to-head. Keeps doing late season good. Pac-12 has more depth this year than the SEC west, sorry. For now Pac-12 schools get benefit. |

Good win against Utah puts them here but head-to-head keeps them below Washington. |

Disgusting loss to South Carolina eliminates them from playoff conversation. Looked like fish in a barrel, |

In my opinion, would beat LSU, at their best form. Kind of underrated with amazing wins against everyone but the top tier, which they played as expected again. |

Took care of business against UAB... alright. |

Head-to-head above, random FCS beat down. |

Worst one loss squad and didn't play a match this time allowing for a rise compared to others. Good test is against JMU next week, but I will not put anything against them for being unable to play against a tragedy stricken UVA. |

Keep doing the bare minimum but that may be enough, G5 zone is interesting. |

Were good last season, repeating it again. Their conference is kind of not good but they take care of business and did it particularly well this time around. |

Loses and rises, confusing indeed. Issue is, as a three loss squad, with the opponents they faced performing well, they look much better. 16-18 manually put above 20-22. |

Still taking care of business with a decent, well-balanced, squad. |

Climbing still after the loss to Texas, finally showed enough to get them back in the rankings. |

Taking care of business, hasn't lost to anyone except in a fluke to App State and beat #20 while losing to #25 Ole Miss. |

Another meh win, but such is life. |

Made up for last week with a destruction of a decent (but no defense) SMU squad. I think they should be a few spots higher, but this is what the formula spits out for now. |

It bothers me to drop them here as a Duke fan, for fear of bias, but they haven't looked good all season long. Their defense has been atrocious all season and they play close with any squad, good or bad. As an Iowa State fan, the lack of balance in this team bothers me. |

Lost to Oregon keeps them low, but clearly one of the best 3-loss. |
24 |

Finally I have enough evidence to rank them again, FSU clearly on a late season resurgence. |

Bad losses to good teams, can't win where it counts. Next out (no order): Notre Dame, Boise State, Air Force, Ohio. |
