| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
|
| 2 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
|
| 3 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
|
| 4 |
Washington Huskies
|
Very impressive win puts them in the top 4 |
| 5 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 6 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
|
| 7 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
|
| 8 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Only a 3 point loss on the road, on a missed last second FG, to my #4 team shouldn't hurt them too much. Still an excellent team |
| 9 |
Texas Longhorns
|
|
| 10 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Still hanging on despite some unimpressive wins. |
| 11 |
North Carolina Tar Heels
|
Win over Miami and Louisville loss puts them as the solid second best ACC team. |
| 12 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
|
| 13 |
Oregon State Beavers
|
|
| 14 |
Utah Utes
|
Hard team to rank, but a few good wins keeps them high. |
| 15 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
Bad loss, but win over ND keeps them above the Irish. |
| 16 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Huge win over USC. Should they win out they're not a playoff team but could figure into the NY6. |
| 17 |
USC Trojans
|
|
| 18 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Loss to Florida hurts, but a win over Bama would move them up. |
| 19 |
LSU Tigers
|
|
| 20 |
Missouri Tigers
|
Solid win over UK. If they handle South Carolina next week they get a bye before Georgia, who will be coming off playing Florida. Don't count them out in the SEC East. |
| 21 |
Duke Blue Devils
|
|
| 22 |
Air Force Falcons
|
Solid win over a solid Wyoming team. Could easily go undefeated from here on out. |
| 23 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
Defense continues to be smothering, despite the offensive issues. A ten win season is not hard to imagine. |
| 24 |
James Madison Dukes
|
Felt like the lower tier G5 undefeated teams finally surpassed the bottom tier of P5 2 and 3 loss teams. |
| 25 |
Liberty Flames
|
Ditto. |
