Overall Rationale: A squirrel ran up onto my shoulder and planted a little smooch on my cheek before whispering in my ear this order for the college football top 25
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Oregon Ducks

Embarrassed a good Illinois team |
| 2 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
😴 |
| 3 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Killed the impossibly slim chances for FSU to make a bowl game |
| 4 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Closer than expected vs Wisconsin |
| 5 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Barely held off Vanderbilt |
| 6 |
Ohio State Buckeyes

Closer than expected against a decent Nebraska |
| 7 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Demolished a good Navy, those commie bastards |
| 8 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
Beat up Washington |
| 9 |
Texas A&M Aggies

Arguably the most important game of their season, Reed dominated when he came in. |
| 10 |
Clemson Tigers
|
😴 |
| 11 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
😴 |
| 12 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
😴 |
| 13 |
BYU Cougars
|
Close wins are still wins, worrying against UCF but I think they’re better than people give them credit for |
| 14 |
Pittsburgh Panthers
|
Huge win over Syracuse that’ll be overlooked |
| 15 |
SMU Mustangs
|
Also really important W over Duke that’ll be too underrated |
| 16 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
Rivalry W is always great regardless of how it’s done |
| 17 |
Boise State Broncos
|
Big win over UNLV to pretty well establish themselves at the front of the MW |
| 18 |
Colorado Buffaloes
|
Not a team I’m thrilled with ranking but at this point they’re the most deserving. I actually like Deion, I just don’t think they’re as good as their record suggests, but I’m happy to be proven wrong |
| 19 |
LSU Tigers
|
Loser State University |
| 20 |
Washington State Cougars
|
Close one over a bad San Diego St |
| 21 |
Army West Point
|
😴 |
| 22 |
Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns
|
😴 |
| 23 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
I don’t love this team but they replace Mizzou effectively |
| 24 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Someone has to be ranked here |
| 25 |
Virginia Tech Hokies
|
I’m really not sure how to feel about this team but Like I keep saying this week, I’ve got to rank someone |
