Overall Rationale: I have no idea what's going on but I don't think anyone else does either.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Texas Longhorns | It's a week earlier than I expected, but I truly believe they're the best team in the nation. |
2 | Georgia Bulldogs | They did not beat Auburn. They survived Auburn. Next week is going to be very very interesting. |
3 | Michigan Wolverines | Michigan looked as good as advertised for the first time this year and it is glorious. |
4 | Ohio State Buckeyes | [IDLE] Interested to see how they do next week. |
5 | Washington Huskies | [IDLE] I am very high on the Huskies, but I really want to see how they do against the back end of their schedule. |
6 | Oregon Ducks | A very minor scare to start the game, but then they put up 42 unanswered because why not. |
7 | Penn State Nittany Lions | The Nittany Lions looked mortal in the first half. This was a bit of a head scratcher. |
8 | Florida State Seminoles | [IDLE] |
9 | USC Trojans | What was that? No. Seriously. What the heck was that? That wasnt Colorado having a good second half, that was USC completley collapsing. The USC defense was just shambolic after the break. |
10 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | That was way too close for confort if you're a Notre Dame fan. Deep breath, Uncle Chris. Deeeeep breath. |
11 | Alabama Crimson Tide | It took them a few weeks, but Alabama finally looks like they're hitting their stride. If a few results go their way, I think they could be in the Top 10 as early as next week. |
12 | Oklahoma Sooners | The Sooners have done very well so far, but next week will require another gear. |
13 | Washington State Cougars | [IDLE] Moved up thanks to Oregon State |
14 | Miami Hurricanes | [IDLE] That win against Texas A&M just looks better and better. |
15 | Ole Miss Rebels | The offense is insane, but the defense needs a lot of work. However, this game carries them into a really interesting four game stretch. |
16 | North Carolina Tar Heels | [IDLE] |
17 | Oregon State Beavers | What a way to turn it around after a bad week against Washington State. Just remember that you're on national television, coach. |
18 | Utah Utes | The defense wasn't awful, but the offense just disappeared. I think they'll be just fine going into the bye before playing Cal. |
19 | Tennessee Volunteers | The Florida loss isn't looking very good, but they control whether it was a fluke. |
20 | Duke Blue Devils | Close, but no cigar. They have plenty of chanses to make up for that loss with FSU, Louisville, and UNC on the schedule. |
21 | Kentucky Wildcats | Welcome back to the Top 25, UK. Enjoy it while it lasts. You've got the Dawgs next week. Good luck and godspeed. |
22 | Missouri Tigers | As I said last week, Mizzou is so much fun to watch. If their last few performances have anything to say for themselves, next week could be a very interesting game. |
23 | Fresno State Bulldogs | Fresno State just keeps on trucking. |
24 | Maryland Terrapins | The Terps have looked really good so far. Next week is a prove-it game against Ohio State. |
25 | Louisville Cardinals | I really struggled with this one, but screw it. They've done well on both sides of the ball and have only had one real scare so far. Now, that scare was a big one, but they have looked pretty solid. |
