| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Two-time defending champions, haven't lost yet, finally started to look dominant against Kentucky |
| 2 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Very strong team that kept their guys, weak schedule but they've been resting players early, destroyed Minnesota |
| 3 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Best win of anybody |
| 4 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Good wins over Notre Dame/Maryland, starting to shake off rust, look scary |
| 5 |
Washington Huskies
|
Offense firing on seventeen hundred cylinders |
| 6 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
Good wins but that close game against Boston College raises a LOT of questions |
| 7 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Very similar to Washington but a weaker schedule |
| 8 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Had some struggles against weaker teams but haven't lost yet, look strong but a tier below 1-7 |
| 9 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Very, very strong team but can't rank higher being 5-1. Had some struggles early vs. Rice/Wyoming but has the second best win of any team and a #QualityLoss |
| 10 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Hard to put a Saban-coached team too low. Loss to Texas but win over Ole Miss. Early season rust looks gone |
| 11 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
Looked dominant against Notre Dame in the trenches |
| 12 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
|
| 13 |
USC Trojans
|
Fantastic offense but atrocious defense, can't rank higher with the teams they've scraped past |
| 14 |
Oregon State Beavers
|
Felt the strongest of the four Pac-12 teams in the "circle of suck" with a very high powered offense |
| 15 |
North Carolina Tar Heels
|
Weak schedule but have looked solid and have Tez Walker to rally around |
| 16 |
UCLA Bruins
|
|
| 17 |
Washington State Cougars
|
|
| 18 |
Duke Blue Devils
|
|
| 19 |
Utah Utes
|
Felt the weakest of the four Pac-12 teams in the "circle of suck" with a very strong defense but little offense to speak of |
| 20 |
Kansas Jayhawks
|
|
| 21 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
|
| 22 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
|
| 23 |
Kentucky Wildcats
|
|
| 24 |
Wyoming Cowboys
|
Good G5 wins and one loss to Texas, look very strong |
| 25 |
