Overall Rationale: Strength of performance vs strength of opponent
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Georgia Bulldogs | |
2 | TCU Horned Frogs | Beat a very good Michigan team, got blown out by UGA, but no one was beating UGA the way they played in this game |
3 | Michigan Wolverines | Toss up between Michigan and OSU. Michigan beat OSU head to head, but OSU gave the champs a close game and had a chance to win |
4 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Ultimately left OSU at 4 becasue of the head to head with Michigan |
5 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Showed that they had a case for top 4, but based on how close the semis were, also showed that we didnt miss them |
6 | Penn State Nittany Lions | After being relatively unproven this year, the Lions easily beat a very good Utah team |
7 | Washington Huskies | Washington came to Texas and beat a decent when healthy Texas team in what was pretty much a road game for the Huskies |
8 | Tennessee Volunteers | Some late upsets and injuries derailed what was a promising season for the Vols, still a very good season when you look back on it though |
9 | Tulane Green Wave | A big bowl upset win proved that Tulane was legit and that USC would pay for not having a defense |
10 | Florida State Seminoles | |
11 | Utah Utes | A very good Utah team played competitvely against PSU until injuries caught up to them |
12 | Oregon State Beavers | A sneaky good season for the Beavs |
13 | Kansas State Wildcats | A good year, winning the Big-12, ultimately couldn't overcome a pissed off bama |
14 | Clemson Tigers | An overrated team all year. Feasted on the weak ACC and couldnt compete with a legot contender after they ran their starting QB out of town |
15 | Oregon Ducks | Barely sneaking out a win vs a weak UNC team was not very impressive |
16 | USC Trojans | Another overrated team all year. Had a very good offense led by Caleb Williams, but no defense cost them down the stretch |
17 | LSU Tigers | |
18 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | |
19 | Troy Trojans | |
20 | Mississippi State Bulldogs | Big win for Mike Leach's legacy. These guys played for him and earned that gritty win |
21 | UCLA Bruins | Season started off promising, but they faltered down the stretch |
22 | Pittsburgh Panthers | Season started off poorly, but they recovered in the end, winning a surprisingly fun Sun Bowl |
23 | Fresno State Bulldogs | |
24 | Boise State Broncos | |
25 | South Carolina Gamecocks | A decent team that could hang with most top teams on a good day |
