| 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 |
