Staying undefeated is difficult, especially with a B1G schedule! Penn State stays up there! Same rationale for all top 12 teams! |

Indiana Hoosiers

| 3 |
Oregon Ducks
|
|

Iowa State Cyclones
|
|
| 5 |

|
| 12 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Miami. Let's not pretend you deserved that win. I'm forced by my own rules to keep you at the top, but you're on the thinnest of ice. |
| 13 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
A tough schedule, and a team seemingly surviving it thus far. You're not supposed to beat #1. |
| 14 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
See above. |
| 15 |
Utah Utes
|
Again, tough schedule, only loss to a top 10 team. |
| 16 |
Boise State Broncos
|
See above. |
| 17 |
SMU Mustangs
|
See above. |
| 18 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Oh. Alabama. What happened. |
| 19 |
Arizona State Sun Devils
|
Only one loss as well to a fellow ranked team. |
| 20 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Quality loss ain't as quality now. |
| 21 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
The Irish are climbing the ranks again! |
| 22 |
Washington State Cougars
|
And with the Broncos go the Cougs... |
| 23 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
And with the Irish go the Aggies... |
| 24 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
And with the Cougs go the Raiders... |
| 25 |
LSU Tigers
|
USC isn't as nice of a loss now, but it's still not horrible. Good enough to be ranked. |
