| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Oregon Ducks
|
I mean at this point it’s pretty undisputed who the best team in the country is. It’s Oregon and it’s not close. |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
That was a big and necessary win for Ohio State and Ryan Day, even if it was against a team/coach with bigger issues in big games. |
| 3 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
It’s been a while since a QB has completely derailed his draft prospects, and one as weak as this upcoming class, as Carson Beck. He’s continuing to be a problem for Georgia. |
| 4 |
BYU Cougars
|
BYU stands alone atop the Big 12 and their win over SMU is looking better. |
| 5 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Still have some concerns about Tennessee’s offense but their defense is legit. |
| 6 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Much needed bye week for Texas |
| 7 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
9Windiana |
| 8 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Finally, Miami beat a decent team without needing ACC ref bullshit to help them out. 2nd half Canes are a title threat |
| 9 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
If not now, when for Franklin at Penn State? That record against top 10 teams, while usually having a top 10 team himself in those games, is abysmal. |
| 10 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Bye week for Notre Dame, but quality wins over A&M and Navy took hits |
| 11 |
SMU Mustangs
|
SMU is a legit playoff threat and ACC contender |
| 12 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Bye week for Alabama. Elimination game at Death Valley coming up |
| 13 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
Iowa State escaped UCF with a win, couldn’t escape Texas Tech with one. Now Iowa State might need to win the Big 12 to make the playoffs. |
| 14 |
Boise State Broncos
|
The path is clear for a MWC title game appearance, but can Boise State keep it up? Funny how a bad game for Jeanty is 149 yards and 2 TDs |
| 15 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
There’s the A&M we know and love |
| 16 |
LSU Tigers
|
Bye week for LSU ahead of an elimination game at home against Alabama |
| 17 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Probably Ole Miss’ best game of the season, although they let Arkansas score quite a bit at the end there. |
| 18 |
Colorado Buffaloes
|
Colorado was the Big 12’s biggest winners and they didn’t even play. There’s a legit path to the Big 12 title game for Colorado now. |
| 19 |
Army West Point
|
No Dailey, no problem. That SOS is really bad though when their first decent opponent is North Texas in November. |
| 20 |
Clemson Tigers
|
2 games against winning teams, 2 ugly losses. Frauds confirmed. |
| 21 |
Washington State Cougars
|
Bye week for Wazzu, but seeing Texas Tech win was huge for their resume. |
| 22 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
Biggest win of the McGuire era for Tech |
| 23 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
That’s gross loss from KSU. They’re better than that. |
| 24 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
Another easy AAC win. Might be the most talented G5 team top to bottom and still have slim CFP hopes. |
| 25 |
Pittsburgh Panthers
|
That’s why you weren’t ranked that high Pitt |
