Overall Rationale: Note cards and v i b e s
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Texas Longhorns | Well, there it is. Georgia has been unquestionably been dethroned. While the game against MS State felt a lot closer than the score and stats show, Texas deserves to be #1. The first SEC Red River should be a blast! |
2 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Look. I get it. When your up more than three scores at halftime, it’s usually okay to let off the gas a little bit. However (and not to be overly dramatic), when Saban had you by the throat, he seldom let go. |
3 | Tennessee Volunteers | In case you were wondering, Tennessee has the most safeties forced of any team in the country... which is pretty neat. |
4 | Ohio State Buckeyes | I’m still waiting on the Buckeyes to wow me. Now, they have a good stretch of games for them to do that, but I have this weird feeling we completely overestimated them. |
5 | Georgia Bulldogs | Sing it with me: “Oh, where, oh, where have the Bulldogs gone? Oh, where, oh, where can they be?” The vaunted Georgia secondary looked… mortal. Am I doubting the Dawgs? Have I not learned my lesson from years past? |
6 | Oregon Ducks | Similar to Ohio State, when are the Ducks going to actually do what they’re supposed to do? They have the talent to beat the crap out of teams and they just aren’t doing it. |
7 | Penn State Nittany Lions | As per usual, Penn State wins the only way they know how: by boring their opponent to death. Also, why is the actual white out game against Washington when you have play Ohio State at home the week before? |
8 | Missouri Tigers | Mizzou gets a needed bye week before heading to Kyle Field. Don’t let the Aggie cult do their hypnosis on you!! |
9 | Miami Hurricanes | Death. Taxes. ACC refs turning great games into farces. |
10 | Michigan Wolverines | Well, you can't say the don't keep it exciting. |
11 | USC Trojans | I’m actually very impressed. It appears that Lincoln Riley may have figured it out. |
12 | LSU Tigers | LSU didn’t feel like playing with their food this week. The Ole Miss game should be pretty fun. |
13 | Ole Miss Rebels | Ohhhhhhh! I almost forgot! This is Ole Miss! |
14 | Clemson Tigers | I would like to apologize to Cade Klubnik. I was not familiar with your game. |
15 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Notre Dame has recovered from the NIU loss well… that is all. |
16 | BYU Cougars | The Cougar defense figured it out in the end. It wasn't a pretty win, but three big stops late will win you football games. |
17 | Kansas State Wildcats | Is Oklahoma State bad or did Kansas State just have a generationally bad seven minutes last week? I tend to believe it's the latter. |
18 | Iowa State Cyclones | The first 45 minutes of this game set football back 120 years. No team deserved to win. |
19 | Utah Utes | Utah: Just like Iowa, just with less corn and somehow even more religion! |
20 | Oklahoma Sooners | Oklahoma did not win. Auburn lost. |
21 | Boise State Broncos | The Broncos like scoring points and I like them because of it. |
22 | Louisville Cardinals | The Cardinals stayed in the fight until the bitter end and I applaud them for it. |
23 | Illinois Fighting Illini | You just got Penn State'd! *Buddy Holly riff* |
24 | Indiana Hoosiers | Indiana is supposed to suck at football, right? |
25 | Arizona Wildcats | Arizona should not be underestimated. With the Big 12 looking like it does, they are still very much in the conference championship conversation. |
