Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Texas Longhorns | Texas takes the top spot for me as the new #1. Even if Quinn Ewers is out for an extended period of time, Arch Manning looked capable of leading Texas in his absence. They haven’t faltered yet, haven’t played a close game, and have one of the best wins of the year. |
2 | Georgia Bulldogs | Georgia falls after struggling against a Kentucky team that just got obliterated by SCAR a week prior. The defense was fine, but the offense was a major issue. |
3 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Bye week for the Buckeyes |
4 | Alabama Crimson Tide | After a scare with USF, that looked more like the Tide we’re used to seeing. Complete domination from start to finish in Camp Randall |
5 | Tennessee Volunteers | No team has had a more dominant start to the season than Tennessee. If any of their wins were against better opposition, they’d have a legit case for #1 |
6 | Missouri Tigers | Missouri finally played a team with a pulse and won, so they move up over Ole Miss and Penn State due to having a better win than those two. Wasn’t the cleanest win for Mizzou though. |
7 | Ole Miss Rebels | Ole Miss with a nice road win over a P4 team, even if Wake probably isn’t any good. Move over Penn State because they’ve just dominated the entire way. |
8 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Bye week for Penn State, but fall below Missouri and Ole Miss due to their wins. |
9 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | Nice to finally see OK State wake up. If Alan Bowman can play like that, OK State will be a problem. Anyone know where Ollie Gordon is? |
10 | USC Trojans | Bye week for the Trojans |
11 | Oregon Ducks | Nice of you to wake up Oregon. The offense looked like the offense of old, but I think the defense showed they can be run on by better running games than Oregon State’s. |
12 | Kansas State Wildcats | KSU had arguably the most impressive win of the weekend with their bludgeoning of Arizona on Friday night. Good response after a close one against Tulane. |
13 | Miami Hurricanes | Miami with the easy blowout over a bad Ball State |
14 | Utah Utes | Nice welcome party for Isaiah Wilson, even after a slow start, but that was closer than it should have been against a really bad Utah State side. |
15 | Louisville Cardinals | Bye week for the Cardinals, but they move up due to lack of impressiveness from Oklahoma and Memphis. |
16 | Oklahoma Sooners | This was better from Oklahoma’s offense, but there’s still a lot to work on. Jackson Arnold doesn’t look good when pressured. |
17 | Memphis Tigers | Yes, Memphis is still my G5 CFP team. Yes, they’re 3-0. They drop because they’ve yet to beat a team with a win. |
18 | Nebraska Cornhuskers | Easy win for Nebraska. They should be a problem for most of the Big 10 |
19 | Clemson Tigers | Bye week for the Tigers. |
20 | LSU Tigers | This LSU team seems like a 8-4/9-3 team. The defense has a lot of issues, the offense is very flawed, and they needed some luck to go their way to beat SCAR. |
21 | Iowa State Cyclones | Bye week for the Cyclones |
22 | Michigan Wolverines | Michigan is a fringe top-25 team at best. The defense is good, but the offense is a serious problem. Davis Warren isn’t a starting QB but Orji probably isn’t either |
23 | Northern Illinois Huskies | Bye week for the Huskies |
24 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Well that’s one way to respond to a bad upset. Poor Purdue |
25 | Arizona State Sun Devils | Honestly, I was impressed with that win on the road at Texas State. The MS State win isn’t aging well though |
