Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Texas Longhorns | I don't want to drop a team from #1 after winning by 3 scores, but Alabama made that difficult |
2 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Didn't blow it, would be #1 if they had kept that 1st quarter up |
3 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Waiting to play a difficult opponent |
4 | Tennessee Volunteers | Productive bye week |
5 | Georgia Bulldogs | Can't fall too far after near come back, can only afford close losses from here on out |
6 | Miami Hurricanes | Well, they fell a little, finally |
7 | Oregon Ducks | Vs. Ohio State will be very telling |
8 | Missouri Tigers | Bye weeks make people forget about close wins the week prior |
9 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Hopefully Illinois is just good |
10 | Michigan Wolverines | For once I am happy Michigan barely survived, please sign Fleck forever, Gophers |
11 | USC Trojans | Wisconsin sucks, huh, damn. |
12 | LSU Tigers | Pretty boring blow out, didn't lose, so they went up |
13 | BYU Cougars | Unranked to #13 in 2 weeks? This can only go poorly |
14 | Iowa State Cyclones | Build the Matt Campbell statue already |
15 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | How did you lose to NIU and rebound so quick? |
16 | Clemson Tigers | Would be 1 spot high if Georgia had won |
17 | Ole Miss Rebels | Fell HARD. Need to be near perfect from here on |
18 | Kansas State Wildcats | See FSU? That's what happens when someone goes through with the stupid bet they made on Twitter. |
19 | Louisville Cardinals | Close loss, still a loss. |
20 | Indiana Hoosiers | Streets are saying 10windiana is possible? |
21 | Utah Utes | Well we know K State is better than Utah at least |
22 | Oklahoma Sooners | Didn't lose |
23 | UNLV Rebels | UNILV wins! |
24 | Rutgers Scarlet Knights | Ranked 'em |
25 | Boise State Broncos | If I thought PSU>Oregon, Illinois would be ranked, but I don't, so Boise gets the bid |
