Submitted: Nov. 13, 2023, 10:35 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Expected wins/resume strength, leaning more heavily on the latter as the season progresses
| Rank | Team | Reason | 
|---|---|---|
| 1 |  Georgia Bulldogs | Huge win against Ole Miss. Clear best team | 
| 2 |  Michigan Wolverines | Same best win as OSU, has looked more dominant in most of their wins. Slight edge | 
| 3 |  Ohio State Buckeyes | Offense looks to be rounding into shape at best time. | 
| 4 |  Florida State Seminoles | |
| 5 |  Washington Huskies | |
| 6 |  Oregon Ducks | Best 1 loss team for sure. Only loss is by 3 points on road to #5 team. Controls destiny to playoff | 
| 7 |  Texas Longhorns | Another close call. | 
| 8 |  Alabama Crimson Tide | |
| 9 |  Louisville Cardinals | |
| 10 |  Oregon State Beavers | May actually control destiny into playoffs with Washington, Oregon, and a rematch with one of them for Pac 12 title if they win out. | 
| 11 |  Oklahoma Sooners | |
| 12 |  Missouri Tigers | Two tough losses to good teams and a few excellent wins. Probably the best team with no real shot at the playoff at this point. | 
| 13 |  Ole Miss Rebels | |
| 14 |  Penn State Nittany Lions | |
| 15 |  LSU Tigers | |
| 16 |  Notre Dame Fighting Irish | |
| 17 |  James Madison Dukes | |
| 18 |  North Carolina Tar Heels | |
| 19 |  Utah Utes | |
| 20 |  Tennessee Volunteers | |
| 21 |  Oklahoma State Cowboys | No idea how to rank them after last week. | 
| 22 |  Liberty Flames | |
| 23 |  Arizona Wildcats | |
| 24 |  Iowa Hawkeyes | |
| 25 |  Tulane Green Wave |
