Overall Rationale: Best most deserving
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Best team bar none right now undefeated and badly Beat Illinois |
| 2 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Struggled for a bit against Wisconsin but defeated pretty handily with backup |
| 3 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Georgia is probably the most talented team and if they aren’t playing bama are but they have a loss |
| 4 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
Beat their schedule the way you would want them to |
| 5 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
FSU isn’t good enough to jump IU but they are undefeated against a better slate than the below |
| 6 |
BYU Cougars
|
Their ucf win is better than ISUs so they jump but also undefeated and ksu wins really help |
| 7 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
Undefeated but have a good team |
| 8 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Struggling against Nebraska isn’t a good look but they are probably the second best 1 loss team |
| 9 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
Beat LSU to be 1 in sec at the moment |
| 10 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Struggling against a ranked vandy isn’t bad but other teams played better opponents |
| 11 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Bye but A&M played a better team |
| 12 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Bye but A&M played a better team And their not as good as the teams ahead |
| 13 |
Pittsburgh Panthers
|
Undefeated but are they frauds? Well they haven’t played anyone of note and haven’t been convincing in them either |
| 14 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Decisively beat navy but it’s only navy so even if they were ranked they aren’t going to get credit |
| 15 |
Boise State Broncos
|
Beat a good UNLV team despite Jeanty having a bad game for his standards is a good sign for the team going forward |
| 16 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
Kstate is going as far as Johnson can take them but a scare against Kansas isn’t a bad sign |
| 17 |
LSU Tigers
|
Should have closed it out but Brian isn’t a great coach and will drop these types of games every once in a while |
| 18 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Beat Missouri who are nationally ranked only because of last year |
| 19 |
SMU Mustangs
|
Escapes Duke who was a 1 loss team but as they say a wins a win |
| 20 |
Army West Point
|
Bye but they remain undefeated with a big game against Air Force coming up |
| 21 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Struggled against Oklahoma without their best wide out but by no means out of anything |
| 22 |
Washington State Cougars
|
One loss pac 2 school whose loss is to tech. Need to hope for tech to improve as the season goes forward |
| 23 |
Colorado Buffaloes
|
Colorado is an interesting team because they have 2 losses one which was bad and one which was ok and their wins are a range from impressive to thank god we escaped |
| 24 |
Illinois Fighting Illini
|
Losses to the best team in the country it was bad but they are the best team for a reason |
| 25 |
Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns
|
1 loss to Tulane which isn’t great but have taken care of the rest of their schedule and beaten a p4 team |
