| 4 |  Penn State Nittany Lions | (+1) Was hoping for a more dominant win against a bottom feeder | 
| 5 |  Miami Hurricanes | (+2) Barely escaped due to the refs but still won in a tough environment on the road |

| 8 |  Clemson Tigers | (+4) Put Alabama, Georgia, and Clemson in the order they beat each other |

| 17 |  Boise State Broncos | (+3) Give Jeanty the heisman, best player in football right now |

| 19 |  Pittsburgh Panthers | (+4) Undefeated, have a couple teams above 0.500 on the schedule coming up | 
| 20 |  Illinois Fighting Illini | (+6) This is where things get murky, 20-40 all have an argument, poll inertia helping |
