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 |
