Overall Rationale: Notecards and vibes
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Georgia Bulldogs | Until they lose, they’re top Dawgs. |
2 | Michigan Wolverines | Michigan is the most complete team in the country. The only thing holding them back is Georgia’s champion’s advantage and their incredibly weak schedule. |
3 | Ohio State Buckeyes | They did what they were supposed to do. Penn State will be an awesome game. |
4 | Washington Huskies | What. A. Game. It wasn’t pretty, but Washington comes out on top and looks great entering the second half. |
5 | Penn State Nittany Lions | As a student at UMass’s arch-rival, I wanted to see a little more out of Penn State. Why score 63 when you could have scored 83? |
6 | Oklahoma Sooners | Moved up thanks to Oregon |
7 | Oregon Ducks | Lost a game no team deserved to lose and the hard part of the schedule is fast approaching. The Ducks might have some problems on their hands. |
8 | Florida State Seminoles | Duke is going to be an interesting game. |
9 | Texas Longhorns | They’re going to be fine. |
10 | North Carolina Tar Heels | UNC sealed Miami’s fate. A few easy weeks coming up so nowhere to go but up. |
11 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Arkansas is not a bad team, they just have an insane schedule. That being said, Alabama shot themselves in the foot constantly. |
12 | Oregon State Beavers | That loss to Wazzu might have been a fluke. Oregon State might be dangerous. |
13 | Ole Miss Rebels | They only move down because Oregon State moved up. |
14 | Utah Utes | Next week could be a huge week for the Utes. |
15 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Notre Dame bounces back in a big way, but that Louisville loss is still a head scratcher. |
16 | Tennessee Volunteers | I’m higher on A&M than most, but that should have been a much bigger win. They get a boost thanks to bad losses by teams above them. |
17 | Duke Blue Devils | Solid win over NC State. Next week is going to be a big test, though. |
18 | USC Trojans | I knew USC was overrated but good God that was ugly. |
19 | LSU Tigers | They did what Georgia was supposed to do against Auburn. |
20 | Missouri Tigers | Mizzou is going to be 8-1 going into Georgia. You heard it here first, folks! |
21 | Air Force Falcons | Welcome back, Falcons. Wyoming was a solid win and their remaining schedule looks like their might be some staying power. |
22 | Louisville Cardinals | How do you go from beating Notre Dame to losing to 1-4 Pitt? They have a bye, but Duke could be a challenge. |
23 | UCLA Bruins | Oregon State is a good team so that loss won’t hurt them too bad. |
24 | Iowa Hawkeyes | I had Iowa dead to rights after the Penn State loss. I still do, but I think they’re a little better than JMU |
25 | Tulane Green Wave | Tulane is a good team in a bad conference. They just have to keep winning and they can stay in the Top 25. |
