• Analysis

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Georgia Bulldogs	Dominant performance
2	Michigan Wolverines
3	TCU Horned Frogs	Close loss in overtime in high stakes game to a pretty good team (arguably due to bad playcalls) doesn't necessitate a drop here. Could arguably be #4 under Ohio State though.
4	Ohio State Buckeyes
5	Penn State Nittany Lions
6	Alabama Crimson Tide
7	Utah Utes
8	Kansas State Wildcats
9	Clemson Tigers	Looks like a totally different team under Klubnik
10	Tennessee Volunteers	Weakened by Hooker being out
11	USC Trojans
12	Washington Huskies
13	Florida State Seminoles
14	Oregon Ducks
15	South Carolina Gamecocks
16	Oregon State Beavers
17	LSU Tigers	Performed about as expected vs #1 team
18	Tulane Green Wave	Good-but-not-quite-dominant win against UCF. Still, redeemed one of their losses.
19	Texas Longhorns
20	Notre Dame Fighting Irish
21	Troy Trojans
22	UCLA Bruins
23	UTSA Roadrunners
24	Cincinnati Bearcats
25	NC State Wolfpack
