Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Oregon Ducks | High powered offense that can beat anyone. |
2 | Georgia Bulldogs | Strong wins against Texas and Clemson, early season rust seems to be gone. |
3 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Best loss of any team and can go toe-to-toe with anybody. Have crushed all non-Oregon opponents. |
4 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Record doesn't lie. Still some questions with close game at USC but a strong win over a good Illinois squad. |
5 | Texas Longhorns | Didn't look great in loss to Georgia but had a decent defensive performace and showed signs of life in the 2nd half. Very strong otherwise and has flexibility at QB. |
6 | LSU Tigers | USC loss keeps looking worse but the team keeps looking better. |
7 | Clemson Tigers | Game 1 Georgia loss looking less bad by the week and this team has been rolling ever since. |
8 | Indiana Hoosiers | They finally played somebody. It didn't go well for somebody. Cignetti is cooking. |
9 | Miami Hurricanes | On fraud watch but still 7-0 with Cam Ward. |
10 | Tennessee Volunteers | Excellent defense and strong conference wins. Still a team to look out for in the SEC. |
11 | Texas A&M Aggies | Handling business in conference play. |
12 | Iowa State Cyclones | Can win when it matters but doesn't look particularly convincing. The Big 12 is a knife fight. |
13 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | You just can't lose to Northern Illinois. |
14 | Boise State Broncos | Ashton Jeanty. |
15 | BYU Cougars | Iowa State on Mountain Time. |
16 | Kansas State Wildcats | |
17 | Illinois Fighting Illini | If the Purdue game remains an outlier Illinois remains a threat. |
18 | Ole Miss Rebels | Alabama with slightly better losses and more fake injuries. |
19 | Alabama Crimson Tide | An Alabama team with two losses before Halloween is something to see. |
20 | Army West Point | |
21 | Pittsburgh Panthers | |
22 | SMU Mustangs | |
23 | Navy Midshipmen | |
24 | Vanderbilt Commodores | Can beat anybody. Can lose to almost anybody. The ultimate wild card of CFB. |
25 | Missouri Tigers | Someone has to be ranked #25, and everyone at the top of the "receiving votes" column lost. But this team isn't actually good. |
