/r/CFB Poll

Overall Rationale: A team earns more points by beating good teams (per SP+) than by beating bad teams. Vice versa for losses - a team loses more points by losing to bad teams (losses to good teams are forgivable). Margin of victory and other game stats are not accounted for in this ranking.

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Texas Longhorns	T-1. 1 SP+ T-25 win (Michigan).
2	BYU Cougars	T-1. 1 SP+ T-25 win (Kansas State).
3	Illinois Fighting Illini	T-1. 0 SP+ T-25 wins. Kansas and Nebraska have dropped out of the SP+ T-25 since playing Illinois, but Illinois still gets some credit for beating two T-25 teams.
4	Georgia Bulldogs	2 SP+ T-25 wins (Clemson, Kentucky). Georgia could be higher, but they have one fewer data point since they were off this week.
5	Tennessee Volunteers	T-5. 1 SP+ T-25 win (Oklahoma).
6	Utah Utes	T-5. 1 SP+ T-25 win (Oklahoma State).
7	Washington State Cougars	1 SP+ T-25 win (Washington).
8	Michigan Wolverines	1 SP+ T-25 win (USC). 1 SP+ T-10 loss (Texas). Michigan is the highest-ranked 1-loss team
9	Miami Hurricanes	0 SP+ T-25 wins. Miami's best win this season is against Florida, who dropped out of the SP+ T-25 since playing them.
10	Iowa State Cyclones	T-10. 1 SP+ T-25 win (Iowa).
11	South Carolina Gamecocks	T-10. 1 SP+ T-25 win (Kentucky). 1 SP+ T-25 loss (LSU).
