Rank	Team	Reason
1	Georgia Bulldogs
2	Michigan Wolverines
3	TCU Horned Frogs	Lost by an inch - beat them earlier in the year, not a national title caliber team but better than #4
4	Washington Huskies	Up 2 - didnt play USC or Utah, but beat Oregon on the road when Utah lost at home, beat Colorado and Washington St by a larger margin
5	Ohio State Buckeyes
6	Penn State Nittany Lions
7	Clemson Tigers	Up 3 - different team without DJ as QB
8	Florida State Seminoles
9	Tennessee Volunteers	Up 2
10	Texas Longhorns	Up 2
11	Utah Utes	Up 5 - took USC out back
12	Kansas State Wildcats	Up 5 - best win of the season by anyone
13	USC Trojans	Down 9 - I overreacted after the Notre Dame win, previously had them at #16 before
14	Oregon State Beavers	Up 5 - Utah blowout loss looks more excusable now
15	Alabama Crimson Tide	Down 6 - LSU loss looks worse by the minute
16	LSU Tigers	Down 2 - had their change against UGA, but still wasnt close by score
17	Oregon Ducks	Down 2 - still worse loss than LSU
18	UCLA Bruins
19	Notre Dame Fighting Irish
