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. |
