Overall Rationale: The computer does some magic and some weird results come out.
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | BYU Cougars | They hang on to their number 1 ranking by a thread after surviving an upset attempt by Oklahoma State. Up next a UCF that nearly dethroned ISU. |
2 | Pittsburgh Panthers | Sleeps. Up next a ranked ACC match-up against #18 Syracuse. Will they prove to be legit? |
3 | Indiana Hoosiers | Absolutely massacred the Huskers, and improves to 7-0 with a meeting with Washington and Gameday looming in the horizon. |
4 | Army West Point | They get more point than ISU, I don't make the rules! Up next a disappointing Air Force squad. |
5 | Iowa State Cyclones | Speaking of the Cyclones, they survived their own upset attempt against UCF. Luckily what follows for them is a bye week to reflect and prepare to face a shocked Texas Tech. |
6 | Navy Midshipmen | Takes care of business and then some against ECU. Up next a decent challenge from just out the rankings (#27) Notre Dame. |
7 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Rested. Up next Wisconsin. |
8 | Oregon Ducks | Destroys Purdue as hoped. Up next #10 Illinois. |
9 | Boise State Broncos | Rested. Up next #19 UNLV for the MW. |
10 | Illinois Fighting Illini | Dominant win over a overrated Michigan team. Up next #8 Oregon. |
11 | Ohio State Buckeyes | Rested. Up next a now disappointing Nebraska. |
12 | Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns | Defeats Coastal Carolina. Faces Texas States next. |
13 | Duke Blue Devils | They let FSU shoot themselves in the foot a couple thousand times, and so they survive in their ranking. Up next a real challenge in also just outside the rankings (#29) SMU. |
14 | Washington State Cougars | Underrated as hell, now faces SDSU after defeating Hawaii well. |
15 | Miami Hurricanes | Defeats Louisville in a classic unconvincing fashion. Up next... FSU. Low because Miami is unconvincing. |
16 | Memphis Tigers | Beats UNT with ease. Up next CLT. |
17 | Liberty Flames | Is boring. Up next a snooze against Kennesaw State. |
18 | Syracuse Orange | Rested. Up next a maybe overrated Pitt. |
19 | UNLV Rebels | Destroyed Oregon State. Up next #9 Boise State. |
20 | Kansas State Wildcats | Kansas State back in after throttling the previously undefeated cursed WVU. Up next Kansas. |
21 | Georgia Bulldogs | Without Alabama to limit them, the Dogs climb back in to the rankings. Up next... rest. Low because Alabama sucks. |
22 | Texas Longhorns | Absolutely embarrassing loss to Georgia plummets them. Up next Swaggerbilt, the highest ranked 2-loss team. |
23 | Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks | Loss to Texas means it falls with them. Up next South Alabama. |
24 | Clemson Tigers | Defeats Virginia in a defining victory. Up next... rest. Still not quite excellent and limited by overrated Georgia. |
25 | LSU Tigers | Why did they lose to USC. Up next #28 Texas A&M. Tennessee overrated as hell, with no good wins. Notre Dame still hurt by NIU loss and Texas A&M by proxy. Alabama should not be ranked and I do not apologize. Nor should Ole Miss. No 2-loss should be (sorry Vandy). SMU only because so close to Nevada. |
