Rank Team Reason
1 Florida State Seminoles Shouldn't even be controversial at this point
2 Washington Huskies Up 2
3 Georgia Bulldogs Down 1- cupcake
4 Michigan Wolverines Down 1 - Washington looked better against a better opponent
5 Ohio State Buckeyes
6 Texas Longhorns Up 1
7 LSU Tigers Up 1 - Clemson dropped below them, no one under LSU looked good enough to jump
8 Utah Utes Up 1 - beating UF at home is not noteworthy enough to jump LSU
9 Penn State Nittany Lions Up 1
10 North Carolina Tar Heels Up 7 - played a real team (won using their defense?!)
11 Duke Blue Devils Up 7 - giving UNC the nod as the better win. Duke had a lot going their way with a Monday night home game. Game was closer than indicated with the Clemson redzone turnovers.
12 Tennessee Volunteers Down 1 - beat what might be the worst ACC team
13 Alabama Crimson Tide Down 1 - played a cupcake
14 Clemson Tigers Down 8 - Clemson had a chance to keep it close and maybe win. I ranked Duke before the season, no shame in losing to them
15 USC Trojans Down 2 - played cupcake
16 Oregon State Beavers Down 2 - played cupcake
17 Oklahoma Sooners Up 7 - Oklahoma with a shutout is scary, played better vs their cupcake than other teams

19 Kansas State Wildcats Down 4 - played cupcake
20 Oregon Ducks Down 1 - played cupcake
21 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Up 1
