Rank Team Reason
1 Washington Huskies Washington got a very nice win over Oregon (5-1) this weekend. They're undefeated and the offense specifically has been outstanding. They've got a couple gimme wins before facing a tough stretch to end out the season.
2 Oklahoma Sooners Oklahoma didn't play this week but is 6-0 with a great win over Texas (5-1). Rest of the schedule is pretty weak.
3 Ohio State Buckeyes Ohio State remains undefeated. Best win is over Notre Dame (6-2) and that looks a little better after ND dominated USC. Also have a win over Maryland (5-2).
4 Penn State Nittany Lions Penn State is undefeated at 6-0 with a dominant win over 6-1 Iowa. Also have a win over 4-2 West Virginia. A win over Ohio State next week could lock them in the top of my poll.
5 Florida State Seminoles Florida State is 6-0 with wins over LSU (5-2) and Clemson (4-2)
6 Georgia Bulldogs Georgia is 7-0 with a nice win over Kentucky (5-2)
7 North Carolina Tar Heels North Carolina remains undefeated after picking up a nice win over Miami (4-2)
8 Texas Longhorns Texas is 5-1 with a loss to Oklahoma. They have a great win over Alabama (6-1) and another nice win over Kansas (5-2).
9 Alabama Crimson Tide Alabama is 6-1 with a loss to Texas. They have a really nice win over Ole Miss (5-1).
10 Ole Miss Rebels Ole Miss is 5-1 with a loss to Alabama. Have a nice win over LSU (5-2) and another over Tulane (5-1).
11 Oregon State Beavers Oregon State is 6-1 with a close loss to Washington State. They have nice wins over Utah (5-1) and UCLA (4-2)
12 Utah Utes Utah is 5-1 with nice wins over Florida (5-2) and UCLA (4-2)
13 Michigan Wolverines Michigan is undefeated but hasn't played anyone. They've been dominant but their best win is Rutgers (5-2) who i think will finish 7-5 or 6-6.
14 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Notre Dame is tough to rank. Really great wins including USC (6-1) and Duke (5-1). Tough, close loss to Ohio State. Also have a loss to Louisville who kinda dominated them. I've got them as my top 2 loss team thanks to their good wins.
15 Louisville Cardinals Louisville took a big drop in my poll after getting beat by a bad Pitt team. They have a really nice win over Notre Dame (6-2).
16 LSU Tigers LSU is 5-2 with losses to FSU and Ole Miss. Have a nice win over Missouri (6-1).
17 Missouri Tigers Missouri is 6-1 with a nice win over Kentucky (5-2). They've got a stretch coming up where they play Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida. We'll have a real clear picture of where they belong after that.
18 Duke Blue Devils Duke is 5-1 with a close loss to Notre Dame. Best win is over Clemson 4-2. They play Louisville next and have a big chance to show they belong higher.
19 Iowa Hawkeyes Iowa is weird. Their defense is very good, and they may end up 11-1. I think the Big ten west is awful. When they played Penn State, they got stomped. They're lucky to not play Michigan or Ohio State this year. I just dont believe they'd win against many actually good teams because i dont know that they can score. Best win is probably Wisconsin (4-2).
20 Oregon Ducks Oregon is probably a top 10 team talent wise and a close loss to Washington isn't bad. However, they don't really have any wins to brag about. They did kick the shit out of Colorado but they're 4-3. They've got plenty of chances to prove they belong higher coming up, though.
21 USC Trojans USC is 6-1 with a loss to Notre Dame. Kinda lacking on the quality win front. Best win is probably Colorado or Arizona who are both 4-3.
22 Tennessee Volunteers Tennessee is 5-1 but doesn't really have an impressive win. Best win is probably Texas A&M who is 4-3. They play Alabama next week and could move up.
23 Air Force Falcons Air force is undefeated. Best win is probably Wyoming (5-2).
24 Kentucky Wildcats Kentucky is 5-2 and has a nice win over Florida (5-2)
25 Florida Gators Florida is 5-2 and has a nice win over Tennessee (5-1)
