Overall Rationale: This is my own human poll.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Duh |
| 2 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Until Michigan shows a clear sign that they shouldn't be lowered, they're staying right where they are. |
| 3 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
FSU looks very talented this year |
| 4 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
The Nittany Lions continued to take care of business. Drew Allar looks really good, that defense is nasty. |
| 5 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Texas is back baby! Beating Bama in Bryant Denny Stadium is a huge achievement. |
| 6 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Notre Dame took care of business and looks very good. |
| 7 |
USC Trojans
|
Caleb Williams is a cheat code, but I still don't trust what i'm seeing until USC plays an actual defense. |
| 8 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Kyle McCord doesn't inspire much confidence and beating up on hapless FCS teams does not impress me. |
| 9 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Jalen Milroe is not it, their offensive line looks shaky, their defense looks bad against the deep ball. |
| 10 |
Washington Huskies
|
Michael Penix is a beast and I love what this team does. They play MSU this weekend, which should be a good test for their offense. |
| 11 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Oregon continues to roll on, but I'm not super sold on them until they play a "real team." |
| 12 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Not super sold on Joe Milton, I know he's got a ridiculous arm, but I just don't know how he'll handle adversity. I want to see him manage a close game, manage an offense, not just throw it to wide open deep wide receivers. |
| 13 |
Utah Utes
|
Can't wait to see this team with Cam Rising fully good to go, love their style of play. |
| 14 |
LSU Tigers
|
Brian Kelly is Brian Kelly... That is to mean he isn't a big game coach, but his team is talented any way. |
| 15 |
Oregon State Beavers
|
Love their defense, they did better against SJSU than USC did, so I really love their defense. |
| 16 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Sooners look vastly improved, but i'm still in wait and see mode. |
| 17 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
Don't know what to think of this team, but they're 2-0, so they're ranked. *shrugs* |
| 18 |
Colorado Buffaloes
|
Sko Buffs? They looked really good, but SLOPPY! Need to see this team play a well coach, confident, talented team. The game at Oregon in week 4 will tell us everything about Colorado. |
| 19 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Don't know what to think of this team, but they're 2-0, so they're ranked. *shrugs* |
| 20 |
North Carolina Tar Heels
|
They're an undefeated ACC team, if they keep winning, they'll rise in the rankings. |
| 21 |
UCLA Bruins
|
They're undefeated, but I want to see them play a quality opponent. |
| 22 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Not ready to give up on this team, they've got too much talent to drop them completely. |
| 23 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Good win over Texas A&M, still in wait and see mode. By wait and see, I mean wait for them to play a quality opponent and see them lose LOL |
| 24 |
Duke Blue Devils
|
Duke is well coached, but i'm not sure of their QB situation long term. |
| 25 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
Iowa is Iowa, boring, frustrating offense, but damn that defense is nasty! |
