Submitted: Oct. 8, 2023, 10:42 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Ranking now evaluates wins on both the top 44 level and the top 25 level.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Ohio State Buckeyes | |
2 | Louisville Cardinals | |
3 | Oklahoma Sooners | |
4 | Penn State Nittany Lions | |
5 | Michigan Wolverines | |
6 | Texas Longhorns | Texas actually boasts the strongest SoS of any team, and it's not even close. Where the average of playing a top 25 team is slightly under 1 (.92), Texas has faced 4 in their six games. With 3 of those being wins, they are doing outstanding. |
7 | Florida State Seminoles | |
8 | Washington Huskies | |
9 | Georgia Bulldogs | With Kentucky being a genuinely recognizable win, Georgia soars up on the rankings to something more comparable to expectations. |
10 | Washington State Cougars | |
11 | Alabama Crimson Tide | |
12 | Ole Miss Rebels | |
13 | Oregon State Beavers | |
14 | Oregon Ducks | |
15 | Wisconsin Badgers | |
16 | North Carolina Tar Heels | |
17 | James Madison Dukes | |
18 | Utah Utes | |
19 | UCLA Bruins | |
20 | Wyoming Cowboys | |
21 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | |
22 | USC Trojans | I cannot stress enough how underwhelming USC, AF, and Liberty's schedules are. They are the worst performances of any undefeated teams at the moment. While it isn't unusual to see a G5 team normally float here at this point in the season, the idea it's two and a P5 is quite surprising. |
23 | Air Force Falcons | |
24 | Liberty Flames | |
25 | Kansas Jayhawks |
