Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Georgia Bulldogs | Survived a scare, but Georgia seems to do that every season. They still deserve the respect. |
2 | Texas Longhorns | There is an argument to be made that Texas should be #1 right now. |
3 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Now a quality win. This helps the resume, three is perfect. |
4 | Ole Miss Rebels | Ole Miss hasn't beat anyone of quality yet, but they are showing you that they are prepared. |
5 | Tennessee Volunteers | Same argument as Ole Miss, but NC State was near quality. Ole Miss has Tennessee's number the past few years, and I'd argue Ole Miss is a higher quality program than Tennessee....but it won't be for long. |
6 | Ohio State Buckeyes | This team feels more fragile than Ole Miss, but it's very early. Call this an unfortunate punishment because of a bye. |
7 | Penn State Nittany Lions | |
8 | Oregon Ducks | If you want to be in the top 10 and start moving up, you win games like that, like that. |
9 | Missouri Tigers | If you want to be in the top 10, you have to win games like that. |
10 | USC Trojans | |
11 | Miami Hurricanes | I disrespected Miami last week with my ranking. My bad. This team is goooood. |
12 | Utah Utes | That's cutting is close....Utah lacks a win that makes you feel good about them long-term. |
13 | Oklahoma Sooners | That's a tiny bit of redemption after the Houston close call. |
14 | Nebraska Cornhuskers | This just feels right. |
15 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | Nice win, with style. Makes the Arkansas win look better. |
16 | Michigan Wolverines | That's not a reassuring win. There is a QB problem in Ann Arbor. |
17 | LSU Tigers | Nice win. A tiny comeback, but that's a quality win for LUS. |
18 | Kansas State Wildcats | Survived @Tulane 34-27. |
19 | Iowa State Cyclones | Beat @IOWA!!! 20-19 |
20 | Clemson Tigers | |
21 | Illinois Fighting Illini | You would have liked Illinois to win a bit more after beating Kansas the week prior. Still, a W is a W. |
22 | Washington State Cougars | Also beat Texas Tech 37-16. Both wins were at home (it's hard in Pullman). Boise in two weeks will be key |
23 | Washington Huskies | That's a bad loss. At home, to your rival. |
24 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | That's great, but it still doesn't soften the blow of losing to NIU. This team still might sneak in the playoffs if it goes undefeated. |
25 | Memphis Tigers | Beat Troy 38-17, |
