Overall Rationale: I only watched one football game this weekend and that was Gators-Aggies from the 50 yard line. Great time, but I’m mostly going off of vibes, scores, and highlights for this because of that and my vibes are probably wrong.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Texas Longhorns
|
It has begun. Manning mania is upon us. |
| 2 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Hey the gators will tell you Kentucky is a hard out lately |
| 3 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
😴 |
| 4 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Should’ve scored 1 more touchdown |
| 5 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Wisconsin already has a drinking problem you don’t need to do that |
| 6 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
I assume Jaxson Dart threw the ball |
| 7 |
USC Trojans
|
😴 |
| 8 |
Missouri Tigers
|
I love it when central time zone team beats east coast Eagles team |
| 9 |
Utah Utes
|
Compared to USC that’s not great |
| 10 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
😴 |
| 11 |
Oregon Ducks
|
I honestly don’t know enough about either team so this is largely inertia |
| 12 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
I assume Iamaleava threw the ball |
| 13 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
Good win to kill Arizona |
| 14 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Debated putting them over K State, but I do remember the Houston game last week |
| 15 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
It’s Jax state but not every ACC school can hang with Jax state in fairness |
| 16 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
Did as expected vs Tulsa |
| 17 |
Syracuse Orange
|
😴 |
| 18 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
It’s going to be a bad year for the Boilermakers, so I expect them to beat Ohio State. |
| 19 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
I’m going to assume most of the Arky St points were in trash time based off the quarter they were in. |
| 20 |
Clemson Tigers
|
😴 |
| 21 |
California Golden Bears
|
We may have lost Vandy but we at least get little ole California Berkeley |
| 22 |
Rutgers Scarlet Knights
|
Solid underrated team |
| 23 |
Pittsburgh Panthers
|
I’ve been toying with ranking yall and you gave me an excuse to |
| 24 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
Also solid underrated team |
| 25 |
Northern Illinois Huskies
|
G5 has a number of contenders, but Memphis’ win over FSU doesn’t hold much weight, Boise’s loss to Oregon is obviously not a W, and everyone else is not quite there. Run the MAC huskies and you’ll be the G5 rep |
