Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Georgia Bulldogs | |
2 | Michigan Wolverines | |
3 | Washington Huskies | Dominant wins |
4 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Defense showed strength in win |
5 | Ohio State Buckeyes | |
6 | Texas Longhorns | Tough win, Alabama win looking worse |
7 | USC Trojans | Amazing offense, defense still hasn't been pressured but looks suspect |
8 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Hartman is their guy |
9 | Oklahoma Sooners | |
10 | Florida State Seminoles | I was at their game. I don't see them making it through the ACC unscathed. BC set a school record for penalties, 18 for over 130 yards, and still only lost by 2. FSU gave up at least 3 3rd and 15+ conversions. Can't keep them in the upper tier. |
11 | Oregon Ducks | |
12 | Utah Utes | |
13 | LSU Tigers | |
14 | Oregon State Beavers | |
15 | Alabama Crimson Tide | They have the talent to be top 5 but the execution isn't there |
16 | North Carolina Tar Heels | |
17 | Duke Blue Devils | |
18 | Ole Miss Rebels | |
19 | Washington State Cougars | |
20 | Iowa Hawkeyes | Defense is great. Got over 25 points this week. |
21 | Miami Hurricanes | |
22 | UCLA Bruins | |
23 | Missouri Tigers | |
24 | Syracuse Orange | |
25 | Colorado Buffaloes | Here on resume for the first two weeks. Should have beaten CSU by more. |
