| 2 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
|
| 3 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
|
| 4 |
USC Trojans
|
|
| 5 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Probably would go in over the others if USC lost...but I cannot put them in RIGHT now... |
| 6 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
|
| 7 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 8 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Maybe they're much lower than they should be...but on the other hand...it's hard to find great reasons to have them higher... |
| 9 |
Washington Huskies
|
Hard to pick who goes first - I suppose Washington having less losses helps... |
| 10 |
Utah Utes
|
Not sure if they should be over Clemson...but their losses aren't as bad, you know... |
| 11 |
Clemson Tigers
|
|
| 12 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
|
| 13 |
LSU Tigers
|
It's a bit harsh...but you lost to TAMU, bro... |
| 14 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Oregon beat UCLA... |
| 15 |
UCLA Bruins
|
And UCLA beat Utah... |
| 16 |
Oregon State Beavers
|
Who beat Oregon State...they're all pretty even otherwise |
| 17 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
|
| 18 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
|
| 19 |
South Carolina Gamecocks
|
Losses DO hold them back...but hey, winning against two straight Top Ten opponents must be applauded! |
| 20 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
After all that...guess this is where they should be... |
| 21 |
Texas Longhorns
|
|
| 22 |
North Carolina Tar Heels
|
|
| 23 |
UTSA Roadrunners
|
|
| 24 |
UCF Knights
|
|
| 25 |
Cincinnati Bearcats
|
Thought about them over Troy...the Trojans' Ole Miss loss unfortunately did not age as well as the Bearcats' to Arkansas... |
