Overall Rationale: Undefeated P5's get respect, slight nod to past success, SOS & Best wins and eye test
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Michigan Wolverines | avoid fraud status with past B10 titles, handling teams as they should. |
2 | Georgia Bulldogs | not consistently showing the extra gear i believe they should be able to hit |
3 | Washington Huskies | biggest win of the year, Oregon > Texas imo so they are just a hair above oklahoma |
4 | Oklahoma Sooners | second best win with the RRR over Texas, want to see how they handle not being "scrappy underdogs" before any higher |
5 | Ohio State Buckeyes | seen them struggle with physical teams & Kyle McCord has not done anything to show me he's capable of winning a game on his own, best win is a ND team that has looked pedestrian at times |
6 | Florida State Seminoles | Their best wins are not aging tremendously with LSU losing to Ole Miss & Clemson having 2 losses |
7 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Third best team in the big 10 until proven otherwise |
8 | North Carolina Tar Heels | Respect them being undefeated over teams like Oregon or Texas w a loss |
9 | Oregon Ducks | Think losing @ Washington is a better loss than Texas's neutral site but still in home state |
10 | Texas Longhorns | Still think Quinn is too inconsistent, hopefully he passes tough tests down the stretch with the season on the line every week now |
11 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Not the alabama of the past but that is more of a nod to the force that they have been, beat Ole Miss |
12 | Ole Miss Rebels | lost to Bama so cant go higher, impressive offense vs LSU |
13 | Oregon State Beavers | Love DJU and think the Pac 12 is a gauntlet, dont mind the close away loss @ Wazzu |
14 | Utah Utes | Continues to be hard nosed team, lost H2H with Oregon St leaving them at 14 |
15 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Best two loss team in the country, dominated a less physical USC and played tough schedule |
16 | USC Trojans | Embarrassing performance but still have promise as long as Caleb is taking snaps and Lincoln is calling plays |
17 | LSU Tigers | Fighting w Notre Dame for best 2 loss team, think the team is all around worse but Jayden Daniels is a legit Heisman caliber QB and they could (should) win out |
18 | Missouri Tigers | Need more respect for Luther Burden & coach Eli Drink |
19 | Duke Blue Devils | Not in love with them but beating Clemson will always be a good win and Mike Elko is a fantastic defensive coach. One play away from beating ND and being undefeated |
20 | Tennessee Volunteers | Have to respect only having one loss but I am low on this team, got smashed in the swamp which is a brutal place to play a night game |
21 | James Madison Dukes | RANK JMU! I hate the hesitance to rank undefeateds. anyone with 4-2 UCLA over these guys is a joke. |
22 | Louisville Cardinals | kind of a mickey mouse schedule but I prefer them over a 2 loss team |
23 | Iowa Hawkeyes | Similar to Louisville i think they will coast to a 1 loss season but overall not an impressive coaching job and a lack of talent on the offensive side of the ball |
24 | Tulane Green Wave | Tulane beat the heisman QB last year, competed with OU two years ago, and continue to be a very good G5 team. |
25 | Air Force Falcons | Wyoming is a good win for Air Force. been dominant with the exception of formerly one loss Wyoming. |
