Submitted: Nov. 20, 2022, 7:15 a.m.
Overall Rationale: General ranking thought process is a combination of considering efficiency metrics and quality of resume (recency weighted more heavily). Slight bonus added for G5 at the bottom to recognize them, where appropriate. Dropped from last week: UCF (20), Minnesota (21), Oklahoma State (24), pretty self-explanatory on all. New this week: Texas (23), Coastal (24), South Carolina (25) Next few out, in order: Troy, UTSA, South Alabama, Mississippi State, Louisville, Washington State

No change to top 4. Everyone struggled in one way or another so it wouldn't be fair to reshuffle at all. |

USC Trojans

Clemson Tigers

Pretty convincing performance, even against a bad Miami team. I still hate watching this team play, but I can no longer justify having a bunch of 2-loss teams above them. |

I kind of had them underrated before and there's kind of a gulf right around this ranking, so they're not dropping further, but -4 doesn't really reflect how bad that loss was. |

This is more of a 1-week reward - If the offense looked like that in any of their flat games (Florida, Georgia), they'd be talked about with Texas among the kind-of unlucky losers |
