Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Michigan Wolverines | I am leaving Michigan here because my rankings don't matter for playoff matchups. I guess if I were on the committee I would either make them 2 or Ohio State 3. Surviving the Spoilermakers has to count for something, though. |
2 | Georgia Bulldogs | |
3 | TCU Horned Frogs | I don't think they deserve to drop any spots after the way they lost to Kansas State. And I really don't think there is a team with a better resume to put at 3. |
4 | Ohio State Buckeyes | |
5 | Tennessee Volunteers | |
6 | Alabama Crimson Tide | |
7 | USC Trojans | I can't put them lower than 7 right now. There was just one team who beat them all year, and their offense is great. If they could play any defense, they would be in the playoff. |
8 | Washington Huskies | I slid Washington down after having conversations with people last week. I still like their wins better than Clemson's and Penn State's, but Tennessee and Alabama made it through much tougher schedules. |
9 | Clemson Tigers | I'm not really sure if I'm ranking Clemson with DJ behind center or Cade, so they're sort of stuck at 9 for me. |
10 | Penn State Nittany Lions | |
11 | Kansas State Wildcats | Great win against TCU, but I can't put them higher than the two-loss teams ahead of them. |
12 | Utah Utes | Same issue as KSU |
13 | Florida State Seminoles | |
14 | Tulane Green Wave | |
15 | LSU Tigers | |
16 | Oregon State Beavers | |
17 | Oregon Ducks | |
18 | UCLA Bruins | |
19 | Texas Longhorns | |
20 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | |
21 | South Carolina Gamecocks | |
22 | UTSA Roadrunners | |
23 | Troy Trojans | |
24 | Mississippi State Bulldogs | |
25 | South Alabama Jaguars | I feel bad penalizing UNC and UCF for playing in their CCGs, but they both kind of limped their way through the end of the season, and I think Mississippi State and South Alabama deserve to be in the top 25. |
