Overall Rationale: Expected wins/resume strength, leaning more heavily on the latter as the season progresses
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
|
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Eye test arguably puts them behind UM, but resume is much better. |
| 3 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
|
| 4 |
Washington Huskies
|
I'm willing to overlook a late letdown game. Good teams find ways to win them. |
| 5 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
Wins over LSU, Duke, and Clemson are good. Close call against BC is not as bad as it once was. |
| 6 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Close call, but you're gonna have those now and then. |
| 7 |
Oregon Ducks
|
|
| 8 |
Texas Longhorns
|
|
| 9 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
|
| 10 |
Oregon State Beavers
|
H2H gives the Beavs the edge over Utah |
| 11 |
Utah Utes
|
|
| 12 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
|
| 13 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 14 |
North Carolina Tar Heels
|
|
| 15 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
|
| 16 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
|
| 17 |
LSU Tigers
|
I'm not sure LSU isn't the most dangerous team in the SEC West. Serious offensive firepower. |
| 18 |
Missouri Tigers
|
Might be the most likely team to take down Georgia. |
| 19 |
USC Trojans
|
|
| 20 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
|
| 21 |
Air Force Falcons
|
|
| 22 |
James Madison Dukes
|
|
| 23 |
Liberty Flames
