| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Bye week (+1) |
| 2 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Good win this week over UTSA; hopefully Ewers is ok (+1) |
| 3 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Very lackluster showing against Kentucky, moves them down behind Ohio State and Texas who have yet to show vulnerability (-2) |
| 4 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Nice road win over Wisconsin (-) |
| 5 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Easy road win over WF (-) |
| 6 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Easy win over Kent State (-) |
| 7 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Bye week (-) |
| 8 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Nice road win over rivals OR St (-) |
| 9 |
Missouri Tigers
|
Win over a (at the time) ranked team in BC. Wasn’t the most impressive showing, but gets the job done over a quality opponent (-) |
| 10 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Easy win this week (+1) |
| 11 |
USC Trojans
|
Bye week (+1) |
| 12 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
Impressive road win by battering Tulsa (+1) |
| 13 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
Very impressive win demolishing Arizona (+2) |
| 14 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Nice win over Tulane who gave Kansas State a scare last week. Still not as impressive to me as Kansas State’s win this week (-) |
| 15 |
Utah Utes
|
No Cam Rising is a little worrying; still a good win this week on the road over an in-state rival, but long term ceiling of the team is being accounted for with this ranking drop (-5) |
| 16 |
Nebraska Cornhuskers
|
Huskers continue to roll and look impressive (+2) |
| 17 |
LSU Tigers
|
Narrow victory over South Carolina who didn’t have Lanorris Sellers for pretty much half the game; not super impressive of a showing but just a slight drop in rankings (-) |
| 18 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
Bye week (+1) |
| 19 |
Northern Illinois Huskies
|
Bye week; readjustment of rankings as a result of ND’s impressive win, but NIU has to stay above ND for now by my logical sense of how I like rankings to function (+4) |
| 20 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Battered Purdue on the road (+4) |
| 21 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
Another pretty comfortable win (-1) |
| 22 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Easy win (+3) |
| 23 |
Syracuse Orange
|
Bye week; readjustment of rankings as it is still early on in this season (-2) |
| 24 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
Dominant victory over UCLA (New) |
| 25 |
UNLV Rebels
|
Nice win against Kansas. Now two wins over B12 opponents (New) |
