Rank	Team	Reason
1	Oregon Ducks	BIG
2	Georgia Bulldogs	SEC
3	Penn State Nittany Lions	BIG
4	Texas Longhorns	SEC
5	Ohio State Buckeyes	BIG
6	Tennessee Volunteers	SEC
7	Indiana Hoosiers	BIG
8	Miami Hurricanes	(ACC?)
9	Notre Dame Fighting Irish	-1, Oregon undefeated so they get #1 spot over Georgia
10	Clemson Tigers	-1, Georgia probably with the better team but not resume
11	Alabama Crimson Tide	-5, no notes for Penn State
12	LSU Tigers	+2, Texas is still a great team, just lost to a psycho
13	BYU Cougars	-1, no notes for Ohio State
14	Boise State Broncos	-1, Tennessee surprisingly beats Bama again in Knoxville in a totally different game than 2022
15	Illinois Fighting Illini	+4, Indiana is for real. IU/OSU will unironically be a huge game
16	Kansas State Wildcats	Miami keeps escaping with a little help from their friends, so they stay near the top
17	Iowa State Cyclones	-2, no notes for Notre Dame
18	Texas A&M Aggies	-1, no notes for Clemson
19	Ole Miss Rebels	-1, Alabama is just not the same. They may not dominate Georgia in the first half with Saban, but they don’t lose to Vandy and this Vols team with him
20	SMU Mustangs	LSU seems to have figured it out, this is a much better team than they were in the beginning
21	Army West Point	+1, BYU almost lost at home to Alan Bowman?!? They’re lucky they had ten minutes of Cougar Chaos vs. KSU
22	Navy Midshipmen	+1, no notes for Boise State
23	Washington State Cougars	NR, Illinois has awful throwbacks (good execution, just shouldn’t have been thought of at all) but a good team with a competent quarterback
24	Pittsburgh Panthers	-3, no notes for Kansas State
25	Missouri Tigers	Iowa State just doesn’t look like a top team despite being undefeated, no notes for Texas A&M, no notes for Ole Miss, no notes for SMU, Army and Navy is shaping up to be awesome and possibly with a pre-quel of sorts, Washington State has one loss to Boise with a great quarterback, Pitt is a victim of the bye, and Missouri is probably on their way out
