Overall Rationale: Strength of performance vs strength of opponent
| Rank | Team | Reason | 
|---|---|---|
| 1 |  Georgia Bulldogs | They keep winning but have been starting slow this year | 
| 2 |  Michigan Wolverines | |
| 3 |  Texas Longhorns | |
| 4 |  Ohio State Buckeyes | Close game but they won battles when it mattered | 
| 5 |  Penn State Nittany Lions | Absolutely dominant win over a ranked team. I know Iowas top 2 RBs were out, but the vaunted defense was no match for PSU | 
| 6 |  USC Trojans | Still have no defense against any team, no matter how bad | 
| 7 |  Washington Huskies | This is a contender | 
| 8 |  Florida State Seminoles | Another shaky win. I know it’s on the road, but fsu still is a bit overrated by most people | 
| 9 |  Oregon Ducks | Most well rounded pac-12 team dismantled what will end up being a solid Colorado team | 
| 10 |  Utah Utes | Ugly game but defense won it for them | 
| 11 |  Alabama Crimson Tide | Bama is still bama. Don’t count them out yet | 
| 12 |  Washington State Cougars | Almost blew it, but the off looked great | 
| 13 |  LSU Tigers | |
| 14 |  North Carolina Tar Heels | |
| 15 |  Duke Blue Devils | |
| 16 |  Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Stayed in there all game but folded down the stretch | 
| 17 |  Oklahoma Sooners | Should’ve pulled away more, but got the job done | 
| 18 |  Missouri Tigers | |
| 19 |  Tennessee Volunteers | |
| 20 |  Miami Hurricanes | |
| 21 |  Oregon State Beavers | Great comeback that ultimately fell short. Offense started slow but picked it up. Defense needs work | 
| 22 |  Kansas Jayhawks | |
| 23 |  Ole Miss Rebels | |
| 24 |  Air Force Falcons | Will run all over you and will shut you down on defense. Dominated the second half of this game | 
| 25 |  Maryland Terrapins |
