Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 |
![]() |
Likely the best team in the nation |
2 |
![]() |
Best non-SEC team, 1 of 3 teams I feel have a good chance to finish undefeated |
3 |
![]() |
Faith in Kalen DeBoer that him in Alabama will keep Alabama up as an SEC Powerhouse |
4 |
![]() |
Best transfer class in the Offseason. Good chance at hosting a First Round home game |
5 |
![]() |
Too early to consider Texas an SEC powerhouse without seeing them run thru the conference schedule, but great Week 1 performance |
6 |
![]() |
Best win coming out of Week 1, defeating a defense-heavy A&M team at Kyle Field and outmatching them on defense. Team much improved from the Brian Kelly days |
7 |
![]() |
Dominated vs a WVU team who some considered in their Preseason Top 25. Beat them in Morgantown. Plenty of hungry returning starters who can carry them to another 10+ win season. |
8 |
![]() |
Most impressive performance from Week 1. Reminds me of the Big East powerhouses of old. Could shock the world and finish 13-0 and make the Semi-Finals. |
9 |
![]() |
Last year, had low expectations, and Mizzou exceeded them. Now, expectations are high, and Mizzou met them with an expected dominant performance vs an FCS school. |
10 |
![]() |
Most disappointing performance of any team minus FSU. Never had I took a lot of my time to analyze a team's performance vs an FCS school than I did here. O-Line in shambles, Some offensive play calls left me scratching my head in terms of how the blocking was executed. If not for Oregon's strong defense throughout 90% of the game, I would not have any faith in Oregon making the CFP. |
11 |
![]() |
Not enough of a good performance to impress me that Michigan could finish with more than 8 wins, but not bad of a performance to give up hope. Michigan's games vs Texas and USC will decide whether Michigan is a CFP contender or pretender. |
12 |
![]() |
Dominant performance over an FCS powerhouse. Past 4 of 5 Texas Bowl winners make a NY6 bowl. The one that didn't, their Texas Bowl counterpart made a NY6 bowl instead. I have them as the favorites to win the Big XII |
13 |
![]() |
Expected performance over an FCS team from Utah |
14 |
![]() |
Very impressive win vs LSU. Could climb up the rankings if they continue this momentum. |
15 |
![]() |
Expected dominant performance over FCS Chattanooga |
16 |
![]() |
Heartbreaking loss from LSU, but LSU is that one team that bounces back from a Week 1 loss and stays good enough to stay ranked in the Top 25, but with how loaded the SEC is, LSU will likely not make the CFP. |
17 |
![]() |
Bad loss, but it's Georgia. Two years ago, Oregon went from #11 to unranked after losing 49-3, and they finished 9-3 and ranked #15. Clemson might not make the ACC title game, but I think they're still good enough to be considered in the race, and this loss I feel says more about how dominant Georgia is than how bad Clemson is. |
