Overall Rationale: I'd like to comment on why Duke and Utah fell out of my rankings. Both don't have a QB right now and I have not been impressed with Utah so far without Rising anyway so if he's not back, I don't feel like they are a top 25 team. I also am just not sure what Duke will be without Leonard so they have been dropped as well.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Texas Longhorns | Texas has the best win so far and seems to be getting better every week. RRS will be fun. |
2 | Washington Huskies | Washington has really impressed me so far, and sure they struggled with Arizona, but who doesn't have nightmares of desert games. Also Arizona's a decent, scrappy squad. |
3 | Georgia Bulldogs | If this team was only Brock Bowers clones, they'd be #1. But they're not and they are not as good as the last couple years. This Kentucky game actually has me worried. |
4 | Florida State Seminoles | FSU on bye, not going to move them. Their win over LSU has diminished slightly and they didn't look great against BC and Clemson but they won so. |
5 | Michigan Wolverines | They looked good beating Nebraska, certainly better than Georgia did against Auburn. |
6 | Penn State Nittany Lions | PSU looked a little bored with Northwestern but that's ok. |
7 | Ohio State Buckeyes | I don't know what to make of Ohio State. Are they good? Yes. Should they have lost to Notre Dame? Probably. Will they lose to Penn State, Michigan, or hell even Maryland? Who knows. |
8 | USC Trojans | Caleb Williams is so wasted on this defense. |
9 | Oregon Ducks | Oregon remains legit, the game against Washington will be really exciting. |
10 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Don't look now, but Alabama and A&M are the only teams in the West without a conference loss. If the Tide can get out of College Station unscathed, they will be in the drivers seat for what seems like a difficult but winnable rest of the schedule. |
11 | Oklahoma Sooners | |
12 | Washington State Cougars | |
13 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | |
14 | Miami Hurricanes | |
15 | North Carolina Tar Heels | |
16 | Oregon State Beavers | |
17 | Ole Miss Rebels | |
18 | Tennessee Volunteers | |
19 | Kentucky Wildcats | |
20 | Missouri Tigers | |
21 | Louisville Cardinals | |
22 | Kansas State Wildcats | |
23 | Maryland Terrapins | |
24 | Fresno State Bulldogs | |
25 | James Madison Dukes |
